Synopsis:
People think I'm crazy. Maybe I am, since I've been able to talk to spirits for as long as I can remember. They are the forgotten, the souls who have unfinished business and can't cross over. I help them, or at least I try to. There's this one in particular, Jack, I call him, who's been following me around a lot. Usually they tell me what they need to do and move on. Not him.
It isn't until he brings
another spirit, Tracy, the victim of an unsolved hit-and-run accident, that I
know for sure he's something more than just your average spirit. Then I start
seeing him. And feeling his touch. And falling for him.
In our quest to get justice
for Tracy and help her move on, Jack and I become something more than just a
dead boy and a living girl. I'm just waiting to see what happens
next...
Whisper will be released on
June 16th in Ebook and later in June in paperback. Here's a sneak peek of the
first chapter!
You
don't look like the kind of girl who would speak to the dead.
“I can't
decide if that's meant to be offensive or not.” He was right, though. From my
t-shirt which had a picture of the Cookie Monster on it and a caption that read,
“Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies,” my holey yoga pants that had never
been used for yoga, and my mismatched Christmas socks, to my
not-straight-but-not-curly hair blondish hair, I didn't look like the kind of
girl who would talk to dead people. I didn't hang out in cemeteries and listen
to too much Evanescence and wear a lot of crystals. Not that there was anything
wrong with any of those things.
It
was not meant to be offensive.
“What was it meant to be?” I pulled
my knees up and put my chin on them.
Didn't your mother call you for
dinner?
Evasive.
There was definitely something different about him. Most spirits were so
confused about where they were or if they were dead they didn't know how to be
evasive. This guy was something else.
“You
sure you don't want anything?”
No.
Just visiting. Spirits didn't visit. The only reason they hung around was to
accomplish something they'd left undone. So either he didn't want to tell me, or
he was just messing with me.
“Well, if you want to stick around,
that's your choice, but I'm going to pretend you aren't here.”
Do
whatever you want. He was starting to get on my nerves. I walked to the
doorway. Once I was through there, I was going to pretend I was
normal.
“Okay,
I'm going to stop talking to you now.”
Silence.
“Thank
you.” I took a step.
You're welcome.
“Ugh,
stop it!”
Don't
forget to add Whisper to your Goodreads shelf.
