During the day she's shy, quiet, and reserved. But during the night she's beautiful, confident, and a secret kick-ass hero. She's Lila Tyler. From capturing criminals to saving lives, it's kind of hard to keep up, especially when you're just a high school student. But somehow Lila manages it. How can one girl save the day all by herself? There's an extraordinary quality about Lila. She has special senses and no one knows about it, except for her older brother. Instead of using her powers for her own entertainment, Lila uses them for honorable deeds. Kicking the bad guys butts at crime scenes is very brave, but what happens when someone is after Lila? And what happens when a certain cocky jerk finds out her secret? Join Lila on her perilous journey to find out who is after her and if Lila is able to find love in between all the chaos.
