Hell Fire — Ann Aguirre

I'm still a redhead. Before we left Texas, I touched up the roots with Gamier Nutrisse 64-R, and then I had some tawny apricot highlights put in. I guess that means I intend to keep this color for a while. Symbolic -- Tve made a commitment, at least to my hair.

As a handler, Corine Solomon can touch an object and know its history. It's too bad she can't seem to forget her own. With her ex-boyfriend Chance in tow lending his particularly supernatural brand of luck, Corine journeys back home to Kilmer, Georgia, in order to discover the truth behind her mother's death and the origins of her "gift."

But while trying to uncover the secrets of her past, Corine and Chance find that something is rotten in the state of Georgia. Just a few miles away, no one seems to know Kilmer exists. And inside the town borders, there are signs of a dark curse affecting the town and all its residents and it can be satisfied only by death.
