With every touch, Elise Beaumont experiences exactly how her loved ones will die. After her brother’s death-- which she predicted but was unable to prevent-- Elise is desperate to get rid of her terrible gift, no matter the cost. Claire Montgomery also has a unique relationship with death-- she is already dead. Technically, anyway. Claire is a vampire, and has been assigned by the Veil to help Elise master her rare Death Oracle powers. The trouble is, Claire and Elise aren't the only paranormals in town: a killer is stalking the streets. And Claire can.t seem to shake the pull she feels toward Elise, a romance that could upend the Veil's mission. -- adapted from jacket
