      Everyone dreams of getting the kiss of a lifetime ... but what if that kiss carried some unexpected consequences? A girl who's always been in the shadows finds herself pursued by the unbelievably attractive new boy at school, who may or may not be the death of her. Another girl grows up mute because of a curse placed on her by a vindictive spirit, and later must decide whether to utter her first words to the boy she loves and risk killing everyone who hears her if the curse is real. And a third girl discovers that the real reason for her transient life with her mother has to do with belonging - literally belonging - to another world entirely, full of dreaded creatures who can transform into animals, and whose queen keeps little girls as personal pets until they grow to child-bearing age.

      Dure, dure, la vie d'une célibataire à New York... Mais la mienne menace de virer carrément au désastre ! Voilà trois ans que je travaille chez Posh, une maison d'édition new-yorkaise, où je passe mes journées à travailler sur les biographies de pseudo-stars qui se croient tout permis. Ma vie sentimentale ? A presque trente ans, pas le moindre prince charmant en vue ! Enfin, il y a bien J le Tombeur, accessoirement mon chef direct. Mais, dès qu'il pointe son nez à moins de dix mètres de moi, je deviens rose framboise ! Et je ne vous ai pas encore dit que ma famille, au lieu de compatir, a les yeux braqués sur ma chère cousine Dana, une incorrigible peste qui, elle, s'apprête à vivre un vrai conte de fées en épousant (on se demande par quel miracle !) l'homme le plus beau et le plus riche de la Terre... Et au Plaza, s'il vous plaît ! Pas facile d'être célibataire à New York ! Et encore, là, ce n'est que le début de l'histoire.
