Once upon a time there was a girl who was special.
This is not her story.
Unless you count the part where I killed her.

Sixteen-year-old Alison has been sectioned in a mental institute for teens, having murdered the most perfect and popular girl at school. But the case is a mystery: no body has been found, and Alison's condition is proving difficult to diagnose. Alison herself can't explain what happened: one minute she was fighting with Tori -- the next she disintegrated. Into nothing. But that's impossible. Right?

Come on, tell me you're not the least bit interested after that hook? Also, set in a mental institute. Need I say more? Okay, Ultraviolet was more of a psychological thriller in the beginning before it went all sci-fi on us, but It's still one of my favourites to read around Halloween.
