A Girl Called Murder

“They called us a murder, as in crows.”

Tannyn Carter has always had a thing for nightmares.

Other people's nightmares, that is. She can smell them on people's skin, taste them on her tongue. Lightning, the sight of blood, fire, darkness. She's been surrounded by nightmares her entire life. But nothing could have prepared her for the day her best friend, Eve, turned up dead in an oak tree with her heart carved from her chest.

Tannyn's friends, known throughout town as the crows, decide to take matters into their own hands. Investigating into Eve's death attracts the attention of the killer, who begins leaving them sinister messages, taunting them. 

In the midst of her friend's absence, Tannyn begins spending more and more time with Eve's twin brother, Theodore. She finds herself drawn to him in the same way she was drawn to Eve—but it is a dangerous and alarming attraction. She trusts Theodore with her life, but she isn't sure if she should.

Theodore's fears are like broken glass between her teeth. He's afraid of thunderstorms—and of someone finding out his secret. As Tannyn navigates a world of heartbreak and dead crows and boys with razor-sharp fears, she must face the worst nightmare of all: her own. 

If it doesn't kill her first.
