About this ebook

DIVDevnee just wants to be beautiful—but is she willing to pay the price?/divDIV
Devnee is so excited about having a bedroom in an attic tower. A tower sounds so romantic, like living in a private castle. Devnee hopes her new room will make her romantic—beautiful, popular, and even happy. But the tower feels inexplicably creepy, especially because its windows are tightly shuttered. On Devnee’s very first night in her new room, weird things start to happen. A disembodied hand appears outside her window, with long silver fingernails that Devnee can’t help but long to touch. Devnee’s shadow detaches from her body and starts wandering the edges of her new room by itself. On her first day at her new high school, Devnee finds herself intensely wishing her life were different. And when someone—something—arrives in her tower room to make that wish come true, Devnee’s best intentions at starting a new life take a dark turn./divDIV /divDIVIn the second book in Caroline B.

Ratings and reviews

Devnee just wanted to be extraordinarily beautiful. Tired of being plain, ordinary,and dull,she makes a fatal wish. A wish for her to just be more than just being pretty. To be Somebody. To be noticed. To be with the popular cliques in high school. To experience life as an American teenager as it was meant to be. Not having to struggle with from books, academics to be caught up with dealing with social stigma - just to be noticed. Devnee gets granted to be beautiful,but doesn't realize that it was merely a trade. That it was a bargain; nothing in the Vampire's promise was permanent. Devnee then makes a SECOND wish : to be not just smart, merely intelligent,but academically a intellectual. For what unknown price was she willing to pay for? That's what Deevee will find out.
