Sixteenyearold Grape Merriweather has just moved to Sortilege Falls and already she knows something isn't right. A small pack of teenage models, too beautiful for words, hold the town in their sway. The models have no plans on making Grape's life easy. But no matter how cruel they are to Grape and the other "Normals", no one can stay angry with them for long. Grape's life changes for the better, or so she thinks, when Mandy, the only "nice" model, befriends her. But that's when the trouble truly begins. Mandy's friendship places Grape smack in the middle of a medical mystery that has the entire town on edge. One by one, the models fall ill from an incurable disease. Grape quickly realizes that the models' parents are hiding a secret, even as they watch their children die. To save her only friend, Grape will have to find the truthand that means putting her life in danger.

Advance Praise

"I loved this book. So clever and fast paced. can't wait for more." - amazon review

"The writing is excellent. Loved Grape. That name is just so unique, I had to love the character. Story was very good. Looking forward to part II." -amazon review

"I found this book to be a fun read with a high "I can't wait to get back to it" factor. The main character, Grape Merriweather, has just the right balance of curiosity and teenage angst to stay interesting, but without the brooding darkness of character that's been so overdone in recent years. Author Libby Heily does a great job of creating characters you want to root for and against and her subtle humor is wonderful. The story builds nicely until the ending which cascades down on you like an avalanche. Although the target audience is YA, older readers will enjoy it too. This is a book I definitely recommend." - Amazon Review
