A MATTER OF TRUTH Synopsis:
Not long ago, Chloe Lilywhite
seemingly had it all: a prized spot on the Magicals’ Council as lead Creator, a
loving fiancé and Connection, and a wealth of good friends. But the poised young
woman she projected was nothing more than a façade. Her parents all but disowned
her. Power plays and accusations of murder within the Council rocked her
confidence. And most difficult of all, her secret, a secondary Connection to
Jonah’s twin brother, Kellan, became painfully impossible to resist. Desperate
to gain control over her rapidly unraveling existence, Chloe did the
unthinkable: she ran away.Now living and working in Alaska under an alias, Chloe is slowly discovering who she is and, more importantly, who she wants to be. But the more she tries to leave the Magical world behind, the harder it becomes to stay hidden. The Elders are back with a vengeance, and the stakes have never been higher. Chloe finally has to make a choice: embrace her pre-ordained Fate or pave her own way in the worlds. One thing’s for sure, though—she’s finally up for the challenge.
*This is a New Adult title, suitable for readers 18+*
Release Day Excerpt:
Although my natural inclination
is to clam up, I know it must have been tough for Will to just let that all out.
So I lean my head against his back and admit to him something I haven’t done
before. “Nepal reminds me of somebody I love.” I swallow the growing lump in my
throat. Even now, four months in, it’s incredibly difficult to talk about Jonah.
“I was sad today because when I heard some people talking in the diner about
Tibet, I thought of this person, and of what Nepal means to him.” I take a deep
breath and count to ten, because saying this next part is like stabbing myself
in the gut. “I miss him so much it makes it hard to breathe. Sometimes it’s hard
to move on, when memories refuse to let you go.”
Will’s voice reverberates
through me when he quietly asks, “Did he die?”
I tell Will a lot—but I cannot
talk anymore about Jonah with him. With anyone, really. All he knows is that
love has broken me, too, and that I’m in no place to even contemplate a
relationship. So much of me wants to open the floodgates, though, let Will into
the dark parts of my heart like he’s slowly been letting me in, and someday I
will do just that. It’s just . . . I need more time.
I shake my head against his back.
There is no more Tell Me for the rest of the night.

Since I have not read either of these books not sure which team I would be on. Magical? The kind that can get the laundry done in a couple of hours but I really think my laundry has magical powers since it multiplies :)
