~~Passing my not be my specialty...but something else is~~
Welcome to the world of Passers, where it's not unusual for people to slip right through solids. It's a world within the world today; Passers are normal people...except for their special skill.
Meet Skylar McKnight, a 14 year old Passer, who, frankly, just can't Pass right. She can't help it; every time she tries to Pass Through, she gets thrown back. Solids just don't like her. Neither does most of her school. Students don't bother hiding their snickers and whispers, when it comes to her. But Skylar doesn't care; or at least, she tries not to. She sticks with her roommates, keeps up her sarcastic attitude, and tries again and again to Pass right. Little does she know that her life is about to become so much more complicated.
Skylar has a skill. It's hidden in her blood, her bones, her very cells. Yet, no one knows exactly what it is. Sky's as curious as everyone else; yet she hesitates to dig deeper. After all, the events of just one day can't convince her to uncover secrets she didn't know existed. Problem is, Sky can't afford to wait too long.
People want her, and not for anything good. At least, that is what she can assume from all the events taking place around her. Sky doesn't want, doesn't care, doesn't feel like being submerged into this new society. Except, no one cares about that. She struggles to go back to her world, to go back to where she thinks she belongs, but what she doesn't know keeps her trapped.
There are hidden layers beneath what Sky knows of, locked doors hidden within what she's explored. She can't see them, and doesn't want to either. Yet her 'ability' keeps pulling her back, again and again, and she realizes that what she really needs to do is to simply turn around and face it all. The people she hated taught her that problems aren't solved by escaping them.
So Sky sets out to do what she has to do, find what she has to find, and become who she must become.
Seventeen year old Skylar Midnight always thought she'd been an ordinary girl; she knows exactly what to expect when it comes to a person with causalities. Going through high school without much of a second glance, she knows more than anyone else that life is hard, and sometimes it doesn't get any better. It's always been that way for her, ever since the night her mom allegedly died in a car accident when she was only four years old. After that, nothing was ever the same.
She lived her life in constant wondering how different things would've been if her mom was still alive. Hoping her father was always a part of her life; Skylar never really knew what love was.
But all of this starts to change when extraordinarily handsome, alarmingly mysterious, and profoundly different Derek Winters moves to town and quite literally knocks Skylar off of her feet. Realizing her family comes from a long line of immortals with special powers was enough for Skylar to open her eyes.
The table in Skylar's plans start to turn and emotions start to push through the surface when she realizes she may not be as ordinary as she thought, and leaving Belmount may not be as easy as she always wanted it to be. Shocking truths are revealed; new people come to town, important plots are unleashed, betrayal and trust and loyalty start to surface, and Skylar is left wondering how to deal with it all.
But what happens when she starts to fall in love with the one person she knows she shouldn't? When she creates friendships and relationships with people like no other? When her father moves to town and she's left with facing the reality that nothing is ever going to be the same? When she realizes her mom was murdered and the person that killed her won't stop until they have Skylar and all of her friends and family dead as well?
Will Skylar learn to love and trust the people around her before its too late? Or will her inability to see the worst in people ruin the world and life as she knows it?
