An Eye for an Eye! Natalie Holland has always been a bit too curious for her own good. She knows she should just mind her own business, but she can't resist the unknown. When Natalie and her little sister Carey stop at a strange booth at the local crafts fair, Natalie is instantly drawn to both Shadow, a sinister-looking black cat, and the carved wooden cat behind a sign that says, "BEWARE! DO NOT TOUCH." Curious Natalie can't resist. But the minute she picks up the carved cat, she sets off a chain of events that ends when Shadow races off his perch. . .and straight into a speeding car. Shadow's mysterious owner Wanda vows Natalie will pay for her curiosity. Shadow is waiting to return from the dead—and Natalie is going to help him. Unfortunately, she only has one life to give. . .
