Song and Shadow #1
Young Adult Paranormal
Date Published: October 31, 2014
Constance Jerome wants nothing more than to make it through her senior year of high school without being noticed. But when her mother drops the world's biggest bombshell, flying under the radar just isn't in the cards. It turns out Constance is a necromancer—one of the few who can travel the realms of the dead.
Apparently it runs in the family. And now there's a threat coming: another necromancer with plans to disturb the living and the dead, and Constance and her mother are the only ones who can stop him. If only they knew who he was. Or what exactly he was up to. A quiet senior year isn't an option, and Constance must race to stop a high school apocalypse before the balance between the living and the dead is overturned.
EXCERPT
Her mother had the habit of
putting on a certain facial expression whenever she and Constance reached a
point in conversation when Constance was forced to admit that she was young and clueless and
her mother was older and wiser; the look involved her mother barely raising her
eyebrows and the left corner of her mouth turning up. It was the look she was
currently wearing.
Constance dropped her plate in the sink a little louder than she had
intended. “Just because I can admit to his physical beauty doesn’t mean he
isn’t basically a toad on the inside.”
“Point taken. But you should at
least give him a chance.”
“He’s had a chance. He looked
like he threw up a little in his mouth when Mr. Mason asked me to tutor
him.”
The knife her mother was
holding hovered over the green chiles on the cutting board. She turned around.
“He really looked like he threw up a little?”
Constance nodded.
“Yes, a toad on the inside then.
Be careful, hon.” Then the knife resumed tap, tap, tapping across the cutting
board.
Constance smiled. Her mother might burn awful candles and be a
smidge overprotective about their old decorations, but she was pretty cool as
far as moms went.
Annie adores writing and reading YA novels. She grew up with an insatiable desire to read and then came the insatiable desire to write. Annie has been blessed to have both of those in her life.
