Deep Dark

(W/A/CA) Molly Knox Ostertag. Magdalena Herrera is about to graduate high school* but she already feels like an adult with serious responsibilities: caring for her ailing grandmother; working a part-time job; clandestine makeouts with a girl who has a boyfriend. And then there's her secret* which pulls her into the basement each night* drains her of energy* and leaves her bleeding. A secret that could hurt and even kill if it ever got out like it did once before. So Mags keeps her head down* isolated in her small desert community. That is* until her childhood friend Nessa comes back to town* bringing vivid memories of the past* an intoxicating glimpse of the future* and a secret of her own. Mags won't get attached* of course. She's always been strong enough to survive without anyone's help. But when the darkness starts to close in on them both* Mags will have to drag her secret into the daylight* and choose between risking everything... or having nothing left to lose.
