Helping her is Dougal Mackay, the grandson of Rachel’s endearing neighbor, Mrs. Book Review || How to Sell a Haunted House by Grad.The children of Shadow Grove are disappearing, and while the adults don’t seem to care, Rachel Cleary, 17, decides she’s going to find them.Book Review || The Liar’s Crown by Abigail Owen.The girl's parents were doing much of its work already. It could afford to wait, to remind the girl when she was hurt that power was hers to take.
Did other demons work so hard to find friends, do well on their homework, and protect their spoiled younger brother? The girl thought being an evil demon should require the skies to bleed, the ground to tremble, an animal sacrifice to seal the bargain, or at least cause some general mayhem.
Her parents whispered about their pact as odd and disturbing occurrences continued to happen around her.
The girl knew she was different, especially as she grew to accept that the other children's parents didn't despise them. Her teachers praised her for her scholarly achievements and extracurricular activities, from academic decathlon to cheer. The average person on the streets of Los Angeles would look at the girl and see a young woman with dark chocolate eyes, curly long hair, and tanned skin of her Filipina heritage. She walked and talked in her sleep, and her parents warded themselves, telling the girl that she was evil, unlovable, their burden to bear only until her eighteenth birthday released them. As she grew older, she grew more like her father, whose ancestors would dream of those soon to die. At birth, the girl's long, elegant fingers wriggled and grasped forward, motioning to strangle the very air from her mother's lungs. The parents knew it had been a mistake to have a girl.
