Paperback (July 2014)
Young Adult
When the creatures in her dark drawings come to life, Chelsea finds that the
mysterious Geoff is the only person she can confide in. But she can't help
wondering who she's kissing: her tender confidant or the dangerous Byronic rebel
bent on shocking his detached father. Starting over in the South Carolina
Lowcountry is just what sixteen-year-old Chelsea needs. Unfortunately, moving also
means living with her mom's snobbish British novelist employer and his moody son
Geoffrey. Knowing that her new home likely used to be a slave holding plantation
doesn't make her feel any more at home. Troubled and reckless after his brother's
mysterious death, Geoff often mimics his father's literary favorite, Lord Byron,
acting "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." She's determined to keep her distance and
buries herself in her art, though the darkness of her drawings troubles her and
others who see them. When people in the Gullah and Geechee community point out that
she has been drawing Boo Hags and haints -powerful and terrifying creatures of
local legend and superstition- she starts to wonder about her own heritage and her
connection to the Sea Islands. She begins to question her own grasp on reality when
it seems those creatures start making their way out of her drawings and into real
life. It's clear that Geoff has some secrets of his own, but he might be the only
person she can confide in. Chelsea must decide who she can trust, when nothing in
the Lowcountry is what it seems.
