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.
