Chime
by Franny Billingsle (March 17, 2011)
Before Briony's stepmother died, she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the family's hardships. Now Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a second skin. She often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old Ones, and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in fear her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the worst kind of punishment.
Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change. As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she doesn't know. {taken from goodreads.com}
Lately I have been on a paranormal kick. Anything to do with vampires, werewolves, faeries, or angels seem to interest me. And now witches? Yes, please! The beginning of this book's synopsis sounded a little like Cinderella at first - anyone else catch that? I'm curious to know what these "secrets" are that this girl harbors, though.
