Shadows Around the Corner

In a small town where everything seems normal, life suddenly changes for 17-year-old Arianna Springs. Reena, as her friends call her, discovers that the shadows surrounding her life are shrouded in unanswered questions and people aren't what they seem. From intriguing strangers to her best friend, she learns everyone has a secret - including her. Is Reena's past defined in terms of 17 years of life or is it bound by hundreds of years to ancient, bloodthirsty vampires? Why is evil pressing in from every direction and everyone keeping the truth from her? Will she emerge as a creature of light or of darkness as her past is revealed, one penetrating page after another? The captivating themes of good versus evil, riveting teenage interactions and engaging mystery make Shadows Around the Corner a novel that is hard to put down. Author Chrystal Nelson weaves a fantastic tale of the undead with modern day teenage life. What is especially refreshing about this novel is the way the author subtlety illuminates the readers with hope and life. Nelson's love of writing began at an early age. Her plans are to get an English degree and eventually become a teacher. She is writing two sequels to this book -- The Darkness Within and The Moon's Mourning Cry.
