Salt Creek Rising

Seventeen-year-old Jess Flowers sees the killer in visions. He's a shadow, stalking Salt Creek, striking down the helpless, slaughtering with fire and lightning. After she finds the bloated body of a teenage victim at Whispering Falls, Jess fears the vision of her own violent death will come true. To survive, she must learn to control the newfound powers surging within her.

Jess is the new kid in Salt Creek, an isolated town in rural southern Ohio with a ferociously guarded secret. A handful of people in Salt Creek have been granted skills that seem to defy the laws of physics. Jess is one of them. Billy, an outcast with an unsettling past, is the only one willing to explain her transformation. As the body count ticks higher, a growing pile of evidence links Billy to the crimes. Is he guilty? Her heart says no, but Jess doesn't have much time to piece together the clues and identify the killer before it's her turn to die.
