Kelsey has been haunted by her father's death ever since she was eight years old. Now, he is turning up in her dreams. Or at least that's what she thinks they are. She learns quickly that nothing is really what she thought it was. Magic is real, there's a chance she could see her father again, and some people might actually be worth trusting. Particularly, one good-humored, green-eyed person. Most importantly, her brown eyes are more than the only decent part of her looks. The color of her eyes is the key to who she is, what she could become, and the power she has only to unlock.

| SAMPLE ONLY; READ IT NOW ON GALATEA | ❝He's the boy she left behind. She's the girl he let go.❞ ➵ Before she became one of music's biggest up-and-coming artists, Evelyn "Evie" Chase was a nobody at the bottom of the Roosevelt High School food chain with only a handful of friends. Her best friend (and longtime crush)--popular jock, Adam Fields--was her polar opposite, but despite their differences, their bond was as strong as they come. That is, until one day-- one mistake--changed the course of their friendship forever, and the once inseparable duo never spoke again. Fast forward three years, and everything's changed. Evie has the world at her feet, now out in L.A. living her dream as a seventeen-year-old popstar-- leaving the town, the boy who broke her heart, and those who'd made high school unbearable behind. Meanwhile, Adam--at Roosevelt finishing off senior year and still the school (and town's) beloved "golden boy"--is trying his hardest to let go of the past and the girl he let get away. And it's going well, the two of them living their separate lives. Until Evie's back. Suddenly, seventeen and senior year just got a lot more interesting.

"I've brought home hallucinations before, but most of them never actually ask to come over, they just follow me." I was used to hallucinating, but there's a point where it just gets too much. I don't like it when cards hit on me. I liked Julia, I wanted her to stay. The elephant was a little annoying, but I could live with it. The giraffe would probably break my table, but I never really ate at it anyways. But cards do not hit on me
