Book Gossip #24 - The Gathering/Darkest Powers

Welcome to another book gossip, I haven't done one in a while!!!

This time I bring you the summary of The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong, first book of the upcoming series Darkness Rising. It's like a follow up-intersecting book with the Darkest Powers series (set in the same world, but with different characters).

The Gathering

Maya lives in a small medical-research town on Vancouver Island. How small? You can’t find it on the map. It has less than two-hundred people, and her school has only sixty-eight students—for every grade from kindergarten to twelve.

Now, strange things are happening in this claustrophobic town, and Maya's determined to get to the bottom of them. First, the captain of the swim team drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. A year later, mountain lions start appearing around Maya's home, and they won’t go away. Her best friend, Daniel, starts getting negative vibes from certain people and things. It doesn't help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret—and he's interested in one special part of Maya's anatomy: Her paw-print birthmark.
