Kirkus Review for Second Verse!

Hey blog friends, hope everyone out there is doing well and having an awesome summer.

I just got an email that started my weekend off in a great way. A Kirkus review for SECOND VERSE! I can't share the whole thing yet, but here's a sneak peek:


“A supernatural murder mystery with a love interest rooted in the past and present. ... A fast-paced thriller best read with the lights on.” Kirkus

Bad things come in threes. In Shady Springs, that includes murder. Murder NowLange Crawford’s move to Shady Springs, Pennsylvania, lands her a group of awesome friends, a major crush on songwriter Vaughn, and life in a haunted, 200-year-old farmhouse. It also brings The Hunt: an infamous murder mystery festival where students solve a fake, gruesome murder scheme during the week of Halloween. Well, supposedly fake.

Murder Then
Weeks before The Hunt, Lange and her friends hold a séance in the farmhouse’s eerie barn. When a voice rushes through, whispering haunting words that only she and Vaughn can hear, Lange realizes it's begging for help. The mysterious voice leads Lange and Vaughn to uncover letters and photos left behind by a murdered girl, Ginny, and they become obsessed with her story and the horrifying threats that led to her murder. Murder Yet to Come
But someone doesn’t like their snooping, and Lange and Vaughn begin receiving the same threats that Ginny once did. The mysterious words from the barn become crucial to figuring out Ginny's past and their own, and how closely the two are connected. They must work fast to uncover the truth or risk finding out if history really does repeat itself.

Blurbs, blurbs, blurbs!

Hiya blog friends!

I got the go ahead to share my blurbs, so here goes! I’m amazed and humbled by the nice things writers I admire have had to say about my book. Yay! (Also, if you want to add it on Goodreads,click here. )

"Part mysterious ghost story and part thriller, Second Verse's twists will keep you riveted. The intense connection between Lange and Vaughn is electric. A truly original debut." Cindy Pon, author of Silver Phoenix and Fury of the Phoenix

"Deliciously creepy and hauntingly beautiful, Second Verse satisfied my urge for both thrills and romance, all in one exciting package. Just be warned: extreme fear of the dark--and barns--might occur as a result of reading." Debra Driza, author of MILA 2.0

“A beautifully written story of love and loss that weaves past and present into a haunting tale that will keep you guessing until the final pages.” Dawn Rae Miller, author of the Sensitives Trilogy & Crushed

So there they are. Awesome, right? Every time I read them, I can’t get the big smile off my face!

Take care, friends. Happy reading and writing!

For 17-year-old Emma Wong, spending a summer in England shouldbe a dream come true. Gorgeous scenery? Check. Lots of hot guys with accents? Yes, please.
Spending two months with her mom, Dr. Mike (don’tcall him her stepdad), and their pooping, puking infant son? Not what she had in mind. It’s a disaster even her favorite cherry red leather jacket can’t fix (leather and spit-up so do not mix).
Not only does she get put on diaper duty (gag), but there’s also Dr. Mike’s cute research assistant to contend with. The only thing more embarrassing than her trying to plant one on him hours after they meet is knowing he’ll be a witness to her family’s dysfunction all. summer. long.
So when Emma meets a mysterious girl who happens to be a Druid, the summer suddenly promises to be far more intriguing than she expected. Powerful rituals, new friends, an intoxicating sense of freedom...and Simon, the sexy foreign stranger she was hoping for. It’s all a perfect distraction from dirty diapers and awkward family dinners.
Trouble is, intriguing doesn’t often mean simple. And Emma is about to discover just how not simple her life really is.
