Description
A dark and lush paranormal romance set in a richly reimagined New Orleans--now in paperback! Ari can't help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can't be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is. Her search for answers uncovers a message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it's impossible to protect herself when she doesn't know what she's running from or why she is being pursued. She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her. Ari won't stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

Reviews
"Unforgettable, complex, and unique. I could not put this book down."--#1 "New York Times "Bestselling""author Christopher Pike
""Darkness Becomes Her" is part "Lightning Thief," part "Twilight," and part "Maximum Ride." [It] will leave many readers clamoring for the next installment."--"SLJ"
"A page-turning story with a multidimensional heroine and an atmospheric near-future setting."--"Publisher's Weekly"
*"Keaton creates a New Orleans setting rife with Gothic rot and decay, and allows Ari to discover, articulate, and explore a range of political and ethical questions without ever striking a didactic note. Deft character descriptions humanize not only the creatures, but also help to individuate characters who suffer a variety of physical and emotional challenges. A great choice for a book discussion group willing to take on another round of vampires. The cliff-hanger end promises a sequel."--"Booklist, "starred review
