Book Description:
When Emmy Russo returns to high school in Moncks Corner, South Carolina
after summer break, she discovers some changes. First: Mom has a
boyfriend. Second: the cute new student, Charlie Fields, is a Rockabilly
greaser with a gang who obeys his every command. Third: attractive Keir
Harper wants to be more than just her best friend. And fourth: a perplexed
Emmy soon finds herself drawn to two extremely different boys. How do you
choose between sweet and smoldering?
Then tragedy strikes on desolate Thunder Road. Strange things start
happening, with Emmy in the middle of it all. Intent on finding the truth,
she must fight for her heart, her life, maybe even her soul. Because
someone wants to possess all of Emmy. And they will be together, no matter
what the cost. For eternity.
I hadn’t expected that. And I wasn’t sure I wanted to respond. The old
me, the good girl from New Jersey, wouldn’t have choked. She would have
told Charlie to take a hike. But the new me didn’t want to let him go.
What was it about this strange boy with greased hair that attracted me
so?
“What’s the matter, New Jersey? Cat got your tongue?”
My face flushed. “Why don’t you quit asking me ridiculous questions and
do something that you’re good at?”
“What’s that?”
“Drive, Teddy Boy.”
One of Charlie’s brows tipped upward in a cocky
salute. His knuckles whitened as he gripped the T- shifter, while rivers
of veins formed on his muscular forearm. With a look of steely
determination etched on his face, he slammed the shifter into first gear
and jammed the accelerator pedal to the floor. The car rocketed forward.
My head slammed against the seatback, and I dug my nails into the black
tuck and roll upholstery.
“You scared, New Jersey?” Charlie asked, his eyes aflame.
“No,” I said as the blood left my face.
“Then hang on, baby, ’cause you’re about to go for the ride of your
life.”

I always get a tingly paranormal sense when I drive on a road that looks like that that is on the cover. I am looking forward to reading this. Sounds so good.
Please try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
