More about the novel:
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.
Thank you for hosting
