About NEED
Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect iTunes. Little wonder, since her stepfather just died and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy shivery Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger: she thinks her mother can’t deal. Wrong. Turns out that guy Zara sees everywhere, the one leaving trails ogf gold glittery dust, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie–and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs.
Vampires and faeries, make way–there is a new paranormal villain stalking teen bookshelves. With suspense and romance aplenty, this breakout novel has all the elements teens need to keep them rapidly turning the pages.
