High School can be a witch.
A teen girl with the ability to ‘see’
people before they die shouldn’t need to lie constantly to make life sound
interesting, but that doesn’t stop Emily from spinning stories faster than she
can keep up.
After transferring to a new school, Emily’s
‘dull’ life is shaken to the core by the appearance of Noah, a boy not rattled
by her tall tales and with secrets of his own. A too-handsome-for-his-own-good
senior, Noah needs Emily’s special gifts to save him from Sarah, queen bee of
the school’s ‘It Girls’, whose own supernatural abilities force Noah into a
life of silence and solitude. But when Emily tries to free him, things go awry,
and she ends up on Sarah’s hit list herself.
Now, new friends and makeup tests are the
least of Emily’s problems, and in order to keep Emily alive, Noah must suffer
under Sarah’s spell. But as their feelings for each other grow, Emily and Noah
find themselves on a collision course with Sarah and the ‘It Girls’ that will
lead not only to the fight of their lives for a chance at romance, but also to
a shocking revelation that will tie the teenagers together in ways Emily never
imagined.
Romantically charged and eerily chilling,
Something Like Voodoo weighs the choice of saving your life versus fighting for
a life worth saving. This paranormal romance will put a spell on you.
EXCERPT
I sighed heavily, preparing myself to step
out of the car. This was it. The start of my next rotten school experience.
Junior year, half done, and then just one more year to survive. I would take
Dad’s advice and let this be a fresh start. Mainly, I wouldn’t try to make
friends this time. That never worked out well. Just go to class, don’t talk to
anyone, and go home. They key was avoiding eye contact. I could do that. I just
needed to . . . get out of the car. That was the first thing.
So I did. I got out, boots crunching the
snow, and slung my backpack over my shoulder. Then I focused only on the front
doors to the main entrance. Get from here to there. That’s all I had to do.
Tell some lady or some man at some desk who I was and pick up my class
schedule.
Halfway there now.
Someone shouted, “Hey,” just as I walked
into something solid.
“Ow.” I grabbed my shoulder and looked up
to see what caused the damage.
Apparently something solid was someone
solid.
“Watch where you’re going,” the solid
person said.
Heaven help me, I looked up, instinctively,
to see who was speaking. Staring back at me were the most intense cerulean
eyes, framed by the darkest lashes, and a storm brewing in his gaze. Whoever he
was.
So much for avoiding eye contact.
“I’m—I’m, uh, wow. Sorry.” I scurried past
him, but he grabbed my arm, spinning back again. “Whoa! Look, I said—”
“No.” He shook his head. “I’m sorry. You’re
new here?”
Being new was perhaps the worst thing to be
in high school. “Um, no. I just skip school a lot.”
He laughed, the anger lines that creased
his forehead earlier dissipating. “Come on, brat. I’ll show you to the office.”
