The Dreadful Charms of Jenna Getty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988771913)

First Love. Cursed Touch.

Seventeen-year-old Jenna Getty has Charms-or at least, that's what her mom calls the dark scars twisting up and down her arms. The scars that cause anyone Jenna touches to desire her. And then become obsessed. And then maybe try to kill her.

She and her mother, the only person immune to her curse, live in isolation in their Saint Paul apartment. That way Jenna can't hurt anyone. She learned the hard way that she's better off alone.

But when she discovers her mother is dying, she'll do anything to find a cure-even if she has to follow signs sent by a mysterious glowing woman who appears out of thin air. And every sign points toward Coldwater High School-and the dreamy guy Jenna's been watching from her apartment window. As she races to find a cure, she's drawn dangerously close to her crush and to a quirky group of students who take her under their wing.

To complicate matters, a man with Charms of his own begins to follow Jenna, and she realizes she's mixed up in something larger than she'd guessed. With everyone closing in around her, she must figure out what's really going on, or her Charms could destroy them all.
