~I stepped in a puddle and slipped, right in the middle of the street. I fell hard, my glasses becoming lopsided. Mud splattered all over my clothes, and a hole ripped through the right side of my cardigan. But that wasn't the worst of it.
HOOOOONK!
I gasped and looked up to see an eighteen-wheeler headed my way. Its lights were on, but it had obviously seen me too late.
Quickly, I tried scrambling to my feet, but slipped again in the water. I desperately gazed back to the truck, on my stomach, with mud all over my face. But just before collision happened... someone grabbed me by the back of my shirt. It happened so quickly, but I remember the person carried me with lightning speed to the side of the road, still lying down. The trunk zoomed past, horn still sounding loudly. When I tried to twist around to see who had saved me, no one was there.~
Ever since her father died, constantly moving, leaving friends behind, and struggling through teenage-hood was the life of Willow Summers. Her walk with God had hit rock bottom, but she had no idea how to fix it. And that's when she, her mother, and her brother moved to Warm Oaks.
Warm Oaks seemed an ordinary city on the outside, but once arriving, Willow finds out that not only does her mortal enemy - Daren Vale Jr. - live there, but there was also a claimed "superhero" running around the streets and saving people. She had serious doubts about the latter statement, but when he's proven real to her, the girl feels the need to investigate. But,when she does, she discovers that the Silhouette wasn't just a random superhero - he was connected to her, her family, and her past in more ways than she could imagine.

In the city of NYC---
Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel!
Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out?
Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind.
Fangirl out.
