false 4070493 5 Now fans of Stephenie Meyer and Melissa Marr have a new author to devour . . . Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life's been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother's pretty much checked out. Now Zara's living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold 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 she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, 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. And he's trailing Zara. With suspense, romance, and paranormal themes, this exciting breakout novel has all the elements to keep teens rapidly turning the pages. 4117634 book 23 12 2008 Need total:1315|5:350|4:437|3:344|2:129|1:55| 1315 4843 2520 378 1 12 false true Wed Mar 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 19:49:13 -0800 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:02:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 4 false false Sat Nov 29 15:17:51 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 15:17:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 3 false false Fri Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 19:13:43 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 16:52:57 -0700 2009 Gossip Girl dramas, insightful reflections, and adventure reads.
