Synopsis

With sales topping 100,000, 'Blue is for Nightmares' has become a sure-fire hit with teens. This updated edition features a new cover and other exciting extras: an interview with the author and a spell book created by fans of the series. The engaging heroine of this popular suspense thriller is Stacey Brown. A typical teenager, she worries about getting good grades and falling in love. But Stacey is also a hereditary witch who is blessed - or cursed - with a gift for prophetic dreams. Horrified by nightmares of her best friend's murder, Stacey races to find the serial killer stalking students at her school. Everyone is a potential suspect, but Stacey has a secret weapon - the folk magic she learned from her grandmother. Will her magic be strong enough to expose the true killer, or will her darkest nightmares come true?
