When a man shows up asking about Ann--who has been missing for months--Melanie fears the worst, and with good reason. Freelance writer Brody Westerbrook knows about the existence of shape-shifters and intends to include Ann in the book he's writing. <p/>While Melanie is immediately drawn to the stranger, she knows better than to trust him, and she denies his claim. But when Ann finally reappears, looking thin and sick, Melanie realizes exposure is the least of their worries. Protecting her sister has always been an enormous part of Melanie's life, but as Ann's health rapidly deteriorates, Melanie must come to grips with the fact that saving her may mean letting go...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A triumphant tale of love and loss...The everyday relationships--the love shared by siblings, friends, and romantic partners--shine with even more wonder than the magic...This series is not to be missed."--<i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review) <p/>"An incredibly poignant and bittersweet story of love, loss, and family.
