A psychological eco-thriller is probably the best way to describe this book. The two main characters, psychologist Gabrielle Fox and the psychiatric patient she is treating, Bethany Krall, draw the reader in from the start with tantalizing insights in to these two damaged people. As Bethany seems to be able to predict forthcoming natural disasters Gabrielle must figure out if this is a gift or just clever manipulation by a psychopath.
In a merciless summer of biblical heat and destructive winds, Gabrielle Fox's main concern is a personal one: to rebuild her career as a psychologist after a shattering car accident. But when she is assigned Bethany Krall, one of the most dangerous teenagers in the country, she begins to fear she has made a terrible mistake. Raised on a diet of evangelistic hellfire, Bethany is violent, delusional, cruelly intuitive and insistent that she can foresee natural disasters - a claim which Gabrielle interprets as a symptom of doomsday delusion.
