 Ronnie's parents passed away, leaving her in the hands of her less-than-friendly Aunt. After being abused for years by her aunt, Ronnie befriends Marley, a self-proclaimed healer. Together they decide to pack up and move to Arizona. Things start to become sinister in Arizona when the girls stumble upon a dead body on a trail. Marley makes a new friend, Caroline, who acts suspicious. Not liking this new friend, Ronnie befriends and starts working for twins, Britt and Star. Bodies continue to appear. Who is the murderer? Could it be Caroline? And what is with these ravens that seem to have taken a liking to Ronnie? Find out in 'Kismet'.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It went between Ronnie's point of view and The Town's point of view. The Town even included the point of view of the ravens. There were some lovable characters and some very dislikable characters. The twists and turns made me not want to put it down.
