(2) YA Brooks sets a young girl's coming-of-age in a romantic thriller, pitting good versus evil in an island village off the English coast. No one knows where Lucas comes from or why he is here, and while his secrets feed fifteen-year-old Caitlyn's dreams, they also make him a perfect target for the small-minded villagers. The well-paced, absorbing narrative alternates gentle scenes of tentative romance with gripping accounts of violence and fear.
