The Claiming

Lizzy never meant to be involved. One night she glimpses hooded figures moving across the yard toward the house, and the moonlight draws her to the window to watch them. Soon afterward, people around her begin to die. Lizzy is haunted by dreams that show her exactly how each death happens, and she has no way to explain them. Even her sister has started to wonder whether Lizzy is somehow to blame. Lizzy insists she has done nothing wrong, but the more she is pulled into the events, the less certain she becomes of what has taken hold of her. Whatever has claimed her is not finished with her yet.
