"Growing up in Slater, Isadora Chang never felt at ease in the repressive small town, even before she realized she was bisexual--but after the deaths of two childhood friends, Slater went from feeling claustrophobic to suffocating. So, Isa took off before the town could swallow her, too. Even though it meant leaving everything she knew behind, including her last surviving friend, Mason. When Isa's abusive father dies, however, she agrees to come back from art school just long enough to collect the inheritance. But then Mason turns up at the cemetery with a revelation and a plea: their friends were murdered by an evil that haunts the town, and he needs Isa to help stop it--before it takes anyone else. When Isa begins to hear strange songs on the wind, and eerie artwork fills her sketchbook that she can't recall drawing, she's forced to stop running and confront her past. Because something is waiting in the shadows of Slater's valleys, something that feeds on the pain and heartbreak of its children. Whatever it is, it knows Isa's back... and it won't let her escape again"--Provided by publisher.

[A] . . . boy cursed to die young--except for the deal with Dami that is keeping him alive. If he cancels the deal, Silas is dead. Unless they can kill the curse that has plagued Silas's family for generations. Together, Dami and Silas make their way to a dangerous island off the New England coast, where Captain Kidd's pirate treasure is said to be buried. With the help of their new friend Marisol, who knows the island well, they might just be able to find it. And if they return the treasure to the place of Captain Kidd's burial, the curse will be broken and Silas can cancel the deal, freeing Dami. That is, if the island doesn't kill them first"--Provided by publisher.
