Under Her Spell

"Liv Edwards has never been your average anything. She may seem like any other girl, but there's always been a strange, dark quality about her. Maybe it's intuition, or a sixth sense, but her off-putting personality has kept people from getting close to her . . . well, most people. Recently engaged, Liv feels proud to be at this stage of normalcy, but only days later, she gets a chilling letter from her childhood friend--a friendship that ended in the harshest of ways--with a simple message: Help me. Liv has been haunted by the moment her and Sam's friendship was ruined. They had been inseparable since the first day of senior year. High school was hard enough without having to start over in a new town, but with Sam, Liv grew into herself like never before. So, now, Liv determines to do right by Sam, except when she returns to her small New England hometown, she's too late. Sam has disappeared and there are plenty of clues to suggest something sinister has happened to her. Even worse, Sam has become a completely different person, working and living with their former high school pariahs, Eden and Cora, at their infamous wedding boutique. To find more answers, Liv reconnects with them, but she's no sooner pulled into the world she was so quick to judge. With makeup, the perfect gown, and a glittering ambiance, these women create fairytales--and now Liv, too, could be a part of it. As Eden and Cora teach Liv to harness the qualities that have always made her feel different, she discovers that a much darker reality hides beneath the satin and pearls"--
