Juliet Rosetti

"Her mom's in a mental hospital; her meals are dredged out of dumpsters, and 16-year-old Rowan Mahoney is shoplifting to stay alive. Shipped off to a juvie jail, she sneaks off grounds and meets a boy named Theo Corbin. He's gorgeous, funny, and sexy; Rowan falls hard for him. But here's what the street has taught her: something too good to be true probably is. She has too many unanswered questions: what are those weird bumps on Theo's head? Why do his cuts heal instantly? Time for some hardcore googling--which spits out a stunning answer: Theo is a satyr. Not the wine-guzzling, girl-chasing creature of myths, but a modern descendant who possesses a blood type so valuable it's worth killing for. When Theo is kidnapped. Rowan sets out to find him. Following a twisting trail, evading a vicious biker gang, Rowan begins to doubt herself. She's always been told she's not bright enough, not athletic enough--not anything enough to succeed. But stubborn. Yeah, Rowan's got that. It keeps her fighting through obstacles until she finds Theo. He's imprisoned with a group of other young satyrs in an underground cavern, monitored by brutal guards. Every so often, a boy is taken away, never seen again. Rumor has it that satyr blood can rejuvenate decrepit old men. Theo's up next for "Removal," but he plans to escape first. All his attempts fail--until the girl from his past shows up. Together, he and Rowan concoct a plan that will free all the prisoners. It's outrageous; it's dangerous; it involves hijacking a train--and Rowan is terrified that she'll fail Theo when he needs her most." -- Back cover
