It s not easy being Jinx. Jean Honeychurch hates her boring name (not Jean Marie or Jeanette just . . . Jean). What s worse? Her all-too-appropriate nickname Jinx. Misfortune seems to follow her everywhere she goes--even to New York City where Jinx has moved to get away from the huge mess she caused in her small hometown. Her aunt and uncle welcome her to their Manhattan town house but her beautiful cousin Tory isn t so thrilled. . . . In fact Tory is hiding a dangerous secret--one that could put them all in danger. Soon Jinx realizes it isn t just bad luck she s been running from . . . and that the curse she has lived under since the day she was born may be the only thing that can save her life.
