Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written.

Magic, Paris, forbidden love, and a quest to save the world before a spell book ruins it all...ready to find out more? ----Seventeen-year-old Sheera Oden has turned so many lemons into lemonade she could hydrate a stadium full of people in the heat of summer. Orphaned at twelve, struggling to make ends meet with her foster family and accepting that she can't afford college...it's hard to believe she spends the whole day smiling at Dee-Lightful Donuts, serving up hipster pastries to the artisanal junkies in Manhattan. Somewhere in-between accepting fate and longing for adventures that don't exist, a strange encounter with a woman at the donut shop sparks the upheaval of Sheera's entire life. Before the day is over the woman reveals an ancient spell book, a book so connected to the souls on earth that the magic only works in certain hands, and only when disillusionment reigns supreme. With humanity growing increasingly cynical, the risk looms large with the book's most dangerous spells held hostage by the Shadowers, a society of dark souls capable of bringing the magic to life. Sheera isn't sure whether to find out more or run, until the woman proves her powers as the leader of the Kindreds, a society of vibrant souls who defend free will. When Sheera learns she is also a Kindred and essential to their quest, the inertia of her life gives way to Paris, where the Shadowers hide out and build their power as they wait to unleash the final spell. It's in Paris that Sheera discovers the dangers of an adventurous life; the struggle to learn magic...the life-threatening missions...and a romance with a Kindred that clashes with her soulful connection to a Shadower, a bond that is likely doomed if humanity hopes to survive. Maybe she should've stuck to the donut days, or maybe feeling alive is worth the risk...
