Last week was busy around here! I released June & Justin (previously excerpted here), and also announced that one of my other books has been nominated for an award: Tattooed Teardrops has been nominated for the In the Margins Best Books for Teens award!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, read the rules at A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along!
I picked up Empath by Becca J. Campbell after reading someone else’s Teaser Tuesday last week. (There are a lot of Empath books, so make sure you get the right one.) I figured by the cover, and in particular the beautiful font, that it might include a fairyland, and took a look. The description made it clear that it was not a fairytale, but intrigued me nonetheless. It is set in the “real world,” but involves a number of kids with varying paranormal “disabilities”.
He’d opened up to her, let his guard down for a split-second, only to take it all back after the fact. Why? What was he hiding?
Becca J. Campbell, Empath
Supernatural empathy isn’t a gift, it’s a curse. Anywhere she goes, Jade’s emotions are replaced by those of the people around her.
Jade grew up in a suburb of Colorado Springs, protected from other people by her parents. Now she faces college—and the world—with nothing to shield her from unwanted feelings.
When Cam, a classmate with a major crush on her, unintentionally hijacks her emotions, Jade struggles to keep from being carried away in feelings of attraction. When Ethan, a psychopath with a thirst for fear, fixates on her, the emotional impact could be lethal.
Caught in a deadly trap, Jade must untangle the emotions and find a way to use her empathic curse to overcome this killer or be overcome by him.
There’s something so compelling about a male opening up and becoming vulnerable; I like the sounds of this one! 🙂
Wow, this looks really interesting! It’s a great premise. 🙂
I remember that! I just read the newest novella for this series. It’s such a fun one and I’m always waiting for the next release. Thanks for visiting my post:)
It must have been your blog that I saw it on! Thanks for stopping by!
Good teaser. I don’t like the cover much, but it’s nice to see a book about an empath for a change.
Sounds like an interesting premise – thanks for sharing and visiting my Tuesday post https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/first-chapter-first-paragraph-april-28/
