Nothing ever happens in Swoon, Connecticut...until Dice's perfect, privileged cousin Penelope nearly dies in a fall from an old tree, and her spirit intertwines with that of a ghost. His name? Sinclair Youngblood Powers. His mission? Revenge. And while Pen is oblivious to the possession, Dice is all too aware of Sin. She's intensely drawn to him—but not at all crazy about the havoc he's wreaking. Determined to exorcise the demon, Dice accidentally sets Sin loose, gives him flesh, makes him formidable. Now she must destroy an even more potent—and irresistible—adversary, before the whole town succumbs to Sin's will. Only trouble is, she's in love with him. 3876507 book 19 5 2009 Swoon total:348|5:61|4:75|3:92|2:71|1:49| 348 1072 921 103 1 8 false false Sat Jan 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 14:27:07 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 14:54:51 -0800 2009 Swoon is another book from Simon and Schuster's spring release list -- the hardcover hits bookstores May 2009.
