BLURB:
Leanna Matthews enjoys flying below the radar. She does well in
school, has a few close friends and hides the fact she’s an astral-traveling
telekinetic. But there’s no escaping her creepy dreams or Simora, the bizarre
little spirit lady, that suddenly pops out of nowhere to warn her against
keeping secrets and predicts an encounter with a sinister evil. For the first
time in forever someone…or something…is on to her.
But
life turns around when Leanna meets Piper one sunny afternoon. She’s
inexplicably drawn to him, almost as if she’s been waiting for him to come.
Forbidden to have a boyfriend Leanna throws caution to the wind, lying to her
family and friends to be with him, while ignoring Simora’s ominous message.
Yet
Piper has a secret of his own. He is on a mission and Leanna, unwittingly, is
the key.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
Leanna
Matthews craved for ordinary in the least extraordinary way. She enjoyed a few close friends, shopping at
the mall and perhaps a nice romance novel every now and again. Routine was good, early mornings were
better…and life was extremely complicated.
She squirmed
restlessly in Biology – the final, insufferable class of the day – listening to
Ms. Alvarado drone on-and-on about non-polar bonds in her last, torturous act
of the term. Somewhere between ‘atom’
and ‘electronegativity,’ Leanna nodded off, nearly conking her head on the desk
while daydreaming of summer vacation:
shopping, beach, friends, shopping, vacation, shopping, sun, shopping,
but not necessarily in that order.
Someone
snickered from behind, no doubt amused by her wobbly head, as her eyelids grew
heavier. Shut-up Ms. Alvarado, she
thought bitterly. Thank God that in less
than 20 minutes ninth grade would be officially over! School, and all its stupid inhabitants
(present company included), would be history for a good two months; or rather
two months too short - but it didn’t matter.
Somewhere a beach chair sat waiting on white, fluffy sand and a plane
ticket had her name stamped all over it.
The fun was just about to begin!
Or so she
thought.
That next
morning, instead of awakening to the sweet taste of freedom, Leanna lay
whimpering, shivering feverishly in her sleep.
She curled tightly into a knot as a tiny beam of light crept through the
shutters while she slept, casting eerie shadows on the wall - one of which grew
abnormally in size until completely encircling the white canopy bed.

The blurb is enticing. It will be interesting to see where the relationship between Leanna and Piper goes and what role Simora will play. Thank you for the super giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoyed hearing about the author's real life. I too am a chew toy for our dogs. We have a mommy and 4 puppies that are 3 months old now and they overrun me every time I come home.
