Darkness Becomes Her
By Kelly Keaton

Ari Selkirk has always been different. She survived the hurricane in New Orleans as a child, has moved between foster families, and has silvery-white hair and teal eyes. Ari finally fits into a foster family that really cares for her, but can’t shake the feeling something is wrong, so she begins to unravel secrets to her past.

Ari travels to a mental hospital in Louisiana to collect her mothers’ personal belongings. She finds a message from her dead mother warning her to run away and never look back; never figure out who she really is. Ari knows all the clues in this box are pointing to their old home in New Orleans, and even further, to the desolate, abandoned area beyond called the Rim. Upon her arrival there Ari meets many strange characters that make her realize all the stories and rumors about the Rim are true.

Ancient and powerful families, curses, and even Greek gods are threatening Ari in this gripping novel where voodoo and mythology collide. As Ari and her new friends from the Rim work to figure out her curse, you will become entranced in the beauty of the deep south and fall in love with Ari’s harsh sarcasm and bravery. But just how far will friendship and vengeance take Ari when a force of nature is trying to cut her down and win her power?
