I'm going to make you wish you were dead. Just a text.
Seventeen-year-old Rebecca Hales tries not to worry. Probably a
wrong number. Not really meant for her, and definitely not related
to the crime she witnessed six years ago. Right? Then two states
away, a bomb goes off in her best friend's locker. Soon Ryan is
labeled a terrorist and runs to the safest place he knows-Rebecca's
house in small-town Wyoming. It doesn't take long for the FBI to
show up asking questions. Rebecca lies, of course, and says she
hasn't seen him. Now she's neck-deep in it with him, whatever "it"
is. The only way out is to return to Vegas, where Ryan is a wanted
man. The city of lies and illusion tests Rebecca's wits as she
struggles to find the person who framed Ryan and why. Is Rebecca's
text linked to the bombing? And what does it have to do with a six
year old murder? Rebecca needs to find out before she loses
Ryan-and her own life.
Psyche Middleton vows her dad will never see the risque photos she
took during a summer modeling stint abroad, but one of them ends up
on a billboard in her Montana hometown, where everyone-especially
her dad-can see it. That becomes the least of her worries when she
meets Erik, a mysterious guy who rescues her from a mob and who
she's never actually seen because he can make himself invisible.
Erik takes her to his palace in an idyllic kingdom, and she is
swept into the beauty and culture of his world, but his affection
has one condition: she may not see him. Enchanted, intrigued, and
not wholeheartedly believing he's real, Psyche can't bring herself
to love him blindly. When she betrays his trust for a glimpse of
his face, Psyche ends up at the mercy of Erik's controlling mother,
who demands that Psyche prove herself in order to be reunited with
him. Psyche knows love is never easy, but this is ridiculous. She
agrees to complete three impossible tasks to prove her devotion to
Erik-or die trying. This modern retelling of the myth of Cupid and
Psyche is a fantastical journey filled with laughter, danger, and
the indomitable power of love. *** "This book will take your breath
away, it will leave your heart pounding and your skin tingling.
Although it's a standalone, you will enjoy it as much as you could
have enjoyed reading a whole series, maybe even more." Soma,
Insomnia of Books "I can't believe this is Michelle A. Hansen's
debut novel. The writing quality is much better than most
established authors, in my opinion. Her world-building is
excellent." Carrie, The Mad Reviewer "A captivating retelling that
will surely make an old myth a new favorite" Kelly Hashway, author
of Touch of Death
