Traces: part one of the Traces trilogy - Paperback

I fall, past the part of Cole that knows I'm here, past the part of him fighting for me to stop, the searing cold currents, the shadows. Past his shields.

Aiden has always been different, but it's not until a new student shows up in her podunk Pennsylvania town that she understands why. With his haunting, sleepless eyes, Cole sees through her lies hiding a secret as exhilarating as it is volatile: Aiden can't help but read minds.

Scalpel-smart and shadow-quiet, Cole takes the lid off her dreams and cracks her family's veneer of normalcy. But as Aiden begins to forge her future, a prying presence invades her town. Someone is hunting the gifted, and Cole is a target. To save him, Aiden needs to master her newfound talent and reach into the chasms in his past, retracing the forgotten years of his life. If she fails, he'll die. But his memories come at a harrowing price...

A thrilling blend of modern fantasy, psychological fiction, and YA love story, Traces will resonate with those willing to embrace their own darkness.
