Fifteen-year-old Marisol is the daughter of a soucouyant. Every new moon, she sheds her skin, shifting into a fireball witch who must slowly sip from the lives of others to sustain her own. While Marisol hoped they would leave their old traditions behind when they emigrated from the islands, she knows this will never happen. Seventeen-year-old Genevieve hopes to quench the hunger that gnaws at her, one that seems to reach for some memory of her estranged mother. When a family secret connecting her to Marisol is revealed, the girls soon discover that the very skin keeping their flames locked beneath the surface may be more explosive to the relationships around them than any ancient magic.
