Starlings

In the wake of her father´s death, a teen girl discovers a side of her family she didn´t know existed, and is pulled into a dark—and ancient—bargain she is next in line to fulfill. A dark YA fantasy debut perfect for fans of House of Hollow and Small Favors. Kit´s father always told her he had no family, but his sudden death revealed the truth. Now Kit has a grandmother she never knew she had—Agatha Starling—and an invitation to visit her father´s hometown, Rosemont. And Rosemont is picture perfect: the famed eternal roses bloom all year, downtown is straight out of the 1950s . . . there´s even a cute guy to show Kit around. The longer Kit´s there, though, the stranger it all feels. The Starling family is revered, but there´s something off about how the Starling women seem to be at the center of the all the town´s important history. And as welcoming as the locals are, Kit can´t shake the feeling that they´re hiding something from her. Agatha is so happy to finally meet her only granddaughter, and the town is truly charming, but Kit can´t help wondering, if everything is so great in Rosemont, why did her father leave? And why does it seem like he never wanted her to find it?
