  by Shelley R. Pickens

  Are some secrets worth dying for?

  Sixteen-year-old Aimee doesn't like to touch people. One touch and she sees their past. One graze over her skin and she can see all the good and bad deeds a person has ever done. It isn't until a bomb explodes during lunch that she realizes exactly how many dirty secrets the students in her school harbor-or exactly how far one of them would go to keep his secrets safe.

  Kristine's just been adopted into North Haven High, an ice castle hidden in the farthest reaches of the north for orphaned teenagers who possess an unfailing disposition for good.

Of course, her North Haven boyfriend's got a thing or two to say about that. But Kristine doesn't care. She's happier than she's been in years as she gets closer and closer to the man she's falling completely in love with and having crazy fun with her new roommates.

  Unfortunately it's short lived, because everything begins going wrong.
