just apply heat.
A devoted pessimist, Noah Brandt has always been thought of as something of a freak. Yet, she knows it's the frost flowing through her veins - not her gloomy outlook on life - that has really earned her the label.
And when it comes to her reputation, It certainly doesn't help that Noah's twin sister is Autumn Brandt, whose tendency towards sunshine and rainbows (and fire) has only boosted her popularity at Elysian High - and sent Noah's plummeting down the drain by association.
Yet, Noah's used to standing in Autumn's shadow, and all she wants to do is get through her senior year unscathed. But then Autumn falls into a mysterious coma and it seems that the only person that can help Noah figure out why is Caiden Haas - the school's golden boy and Autumn's life long crush. . . who's also hiding a big secret of his own.
It turns out that Noah's not a freak - she's an Elemental - and there's a emerging power struggle between one scorned girl and thousands of innocents. It's a battle that directly affects if Autumn lives or dies, and Noah's got to buck up, power up, and woman up if she wants to save her sister's life. Throw in Noah's two budding romances with Caiden and his best friend Kade, countless secrets, the twins' estranged father, and a truly evil vixen whose motives are more cut-and-dry than you might think. . . and we're all in for a wild ride.

Before I Melt is my second novel - technically. I actually wrote this story a couple of years ago and posted it on Wattpad to a very small audience of about 25 readers. Still, the entire story was up for viewing, but as I grew, I realized that it had one too many plot holes and was poorly written to boot. So, I took it down, deleted my account, and went on to pen 101WTSAL as reflectives. Friends who had read BIM however, insisted that the premise was still amazing and they'd be more than willing to read a revamped version. So, here we are.
Names have been changed and events reordered or scrapped, but BIM is still the story it was at heart when I first put it up on Wattpad. For those who have never heard of or read BIM, I hope you'll embark on an entirely new journey along with me.
Thank you,
- gift.
