Bookroo's summary
In a quiet Vancouver Island town, Maya faces eerie mysteries: her friend's drowning, frequent mountain lion sightings, and her own strange connection to them. Her friend Daniel's unsettling premonitions add to the tension. Meanwhile, newcomer Rafe harbors a dangerous secret and an unusual interest in Maya's paw-print birthmark. As these mysteries intertwine, Maya must uncover the truth before it's too late. What links her to these strange events, and can she trust those around her?
From the publisher
Strange things are happening in Maya’s tiny Vancouver Island town. First, her friend Serena, the captain of the swim team, drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. Then, one year later, mountain lions are spotted rather frequently around Maya’s home–and her reactions to them are somewhat . . . unexpected. Her best friend, Daniel, has also been experiencing unexplainable premonitions about certain people and situations.It doesn’t help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret, and he’s interested in one special part of Maya’s anatomy–her paw-print birthmark.
