(BOOK ONE) Love, hate, anger, sadness, excitement and nervousness are only a few of the emotions we all feel at some point in our lives. Some feelings we want to keep to ourselves. Maybe it's the sadness we still feel for an old love when everyone believes we have moved on. Or maybe it's the anger we are feeling towards a friend for lying. Whatever it is, we all have feelings we would like to keep secret. There are also emotions other people have that we don't want to know. Like a crush who may secretly hate our existence. Or the person we just made fun of; we wouldn't want to know how depressed and suicidal they are. Feelings are kept secret from many people. That's life. But not for me. After a traumatic event in her childhood, Riley discovers she has an unbelievable ability, an ability that allows her to feel the emotions of other people. For years she has been hiding her ability, but will she be able to keep it a secret from everyone? (Cover made by@chocolatygirlfaiquXO)
