Imogen Brine is undeniably strange. Some would even say
dangerous.
She can make poisonous flowers grow from her fingertips and
her
"gift" is becoming harder to control. When she is invited to a
secret island to be with other girls – girls with dangerous
gifts of their own – it feels like the chance to finally be
herself. Somewhere she will fit in. However, not long after her
arrival, a deer is found dead with poisonous flowers growing from
its corpse. And all eyes are on Imogen.
Imogen knows she's been set up. Something on the island
feels
wrong – and it isn't just the friction with the other girls
or the growing tension between her and the son of the island's head
of security, Jack. As strange occurrences continue to rock the
island, some more dangerous than others, Imogen realizes she will
have to work quickly to learn what's causing them.
Because things are about to turn deadly. And not all
dangerous
girls want to be friends.
