Winter in Black
Orchard, Wisconsin, is long and dark, and sixteen-year-old Vayda Silver
prays the snow will keep the truth and secrecy of the last two years
buried. Hiding from the past with her father and twin brother, Vayda
knows the rules: never return to the town of her mother’s murder, and
never work a Mind Game where someone might see.
No one can know the toll emotions take on Vayda, how emotion becomes energy in her hands, or how she can’t control the destruction she causes. But it's not long before her powers can no longer be contained. The truth is dangerously close to being exposed, placing Vayda and her family at risk.
Until someone quiets the chaos inside her.
Unwanted. That's all Ward Ravenscroft has ever been. To cope, he numbs the pain of rejection by denying himself emotions of any kind. Yet Vayda stirs something in him. He can't explain the hold she has on him--inspiring him with both hope and fear. He claims not to scare easily, except he doesn't know what her powers can do. Yet.
Just as Vayda and Ward draw closer, she finds the past isn't so easily buried. And when it follows the Silvers to Black Orchard, it has murder in mind.

My thoughts: This sounds dark and mysterious, and I love the tagline on the cover. It has me so intrigued. And can I just say---Month 9 Books has the most amazing art department! I don't think I've seen a dud cover yet from them. This one is especially gorgeous!
Oooh! This one sounds perfect for Halloween. Love the cover too!
