Isn’t this gorgeous? Another awesome cover by Dafeenah of Indie Designz. ”Dark Summer” is paranormal teen fiction and will be out in mid-August! I’m still working on the blurb, so the one below is a rough draft.

A girl with a broken past and a dark secret. A boy with a twisted future and no second chances. When they meet, it just might cost them their souls.
Sixteen-year-old Summer doesn’t expect the new boarding school to be any different than the rest: a temporary stay where everyone will turn against her after a few weeks. Until she meets the rest of the students at this special school and realizes she’s not the only one with magic in her blood. Accustomed to the concrete jungle of LA, she gets lost one night in the forests of the Rocky Mountains and meets Decker, the boy who will become the Master of Night and Fire on his eighteenth birthday. Their connection is instant and dangerous, for both will be forced to choose between Light and Dark, life and death, love – and their souls.
One choice. One soul. One price.
Available mid-August. Add it to your Goodreads TBR list today! Click here! [http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15747353-dark-summer]

Wow Lizzy this sounds sooooo cool!! Cant wait till its out! its sounds like a really nice story, and also many people can connect with it….plus, with a blend of magic it would make it all the more interesting!
wish you a good luck with this:)
Thank you, Rayan!! So far, people are really liking this one. I think I finally managed to bring together everything I’ve learned the past year and a half. The story really flowed, so I was happy! I hope you are doing well!! Lizzy
Anytime, Lizzy!:) it is true….it brings us a great joy when we tell our experiences from the past in books n stuff which other read as well i mean, knowing that someone else is gaining knowledge about a situation we have been through n then actually ‘feeling’ something towards that…the realization of this really does make one happy especially an amazing writer like u:)
good luck with the rest:)
oh n thanks for asking, im doing pretty well too…im away from home right now, actually so i got a chance to use my sister’s laptop just now since she is not here….lol
tc:)
I just done reading the book 1 dark summer in my wattpad, so awesome! I was hooked with the story, i love decker! I want to read the book 2 already! I cant move on! Im so engrossed reading your book. Pls release the book 2!!
Thank you, Larizza!! I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed it! I love Decker too … poor guy. I messed with him pretty badly in the book! LOL I’m working on a few projects, so I hope to have the second book out in Novemberish! Lizzy
