Mary would do anything to get away from the Selector, a murderer with no conscience, no remorse, no flaws . . . and no flesh. Merely a phantom from her nightmares. But her dreams seem so real. April has a major-league crush on Gavin. Unfortunately, he loves her cousin, Bethany . . . until he's framed for Bethany's murder. Peter may be only twelve, but he's got a dangerous temper, the kind that seethes and burns beneath an icy exterior, waiting to be unleashed. Penny is eight months pregnant, barely able to get around. But she can't shake the feeling that she must run, she must get away. Her husband thinks she's crazy until their next-door neighbor pulls into the driveway and takes out his rifle.
