Outsider Marnie begins reading tea leaves for fun, but when basketball star Matt asks for a reading related to his friend who disappeared, Marnie's readings begin to seem real--and potentially dangerous.

Emily Arsenault (The Rose Notes) makes her YA debut with a "page-ripping whodunit" about Marnie Wells, who comes face-to-face with the occult when she discovers her ability to read tea leaves might help solve the mystery of a classmate's disappearance.Marnie Wells knows that she creeps people out. Its not really her fault; her brother is always in trouble, and her grandmother, whos been their guardian since Mom took off is . . . eccentric. So no one even bats an eye when Marnie finds an old book about reading tea leaves and starts telling fortunes. The ceremony and symbols are weirdly soothing, but she knows-and hopes everyone else does too-that none of its real.Then basketball star Matt Cotrell asks for a reading. Hes been getting emails from someone claiming to be his best friend, Andrea Quinley, who disappeared and is presumed dead. And while theyd always denied they were romantically involved, a cloud of suspicion now hangs over Matt. But Marnie sees a kindred spirit: someone who, like her, is damaged by association.Suddenly, the readings seem real. And, despite the fact that theyre telling Marnie things about Matt that make him seem increasingly dangerous, she cant shake her initial attraction to him. In fact, its getting stronger. And that could turn out to be deadly.
