Synopsis
Violet McKenna thought she was crazy when she had a vivid vision of her dad’s murder—and when her premonition came true, her life fell apart. She’d had flashes of other events too, but nobody believed her. Then she found a new school. At Winterhaven, Violet fits right in. All the students have special “gifts” like her own, and she quickly finds a close group of friends. But Violet’s attraction to an alluring boy becomes problematic when intense visions of his death start to haunt her. In her premonitions, the secret he is unwilling to share begins to reveal itself—and the unbelievable becomes reality. Because not only is her crush a vampire, but Violet is one of the only living vampire slayers...and her destiny is to destroy him.
