Avery was there to pick up the pieces of her best friend's heart when Hannah's innocence was pillaged. To gain back their independence, the girls go on a forbidden adventure to the big city. Then, as if by coincidence, Avery meets another, far-from-creepy individual., tall, dark, and handsome, who sweeps her off her sensibly shoed feet at first sight. He turns out to be incredibly romantic, sensitive, and rich-almost too perfect. Their relationship flourishes quickly, and it feels so right to Avery: true, undying, passionate love. This normally sensible, average teenager has unwittingly embarked on a mystical journey with her newfound love. She finds herself learning many strange, unimaginable but somehow familiar things With good comes bad. To know the light, there must be dark; To know extreme love, you must also feel pain. And with truth comes secrets-dangerous, dark secrets. To Avery, the world seems to be spiraling into a deep chasm of despair and fear. A fearful shroud of deception bewilders society. With Kaysen's help, Avery learns what is on the other side of this unapparent cloak. These young lovers are an intrinsic part of a bigger, lighter picture and must awaken their supernatural gifts to save themselves and the others. | Awakening Avery by Carolyn Moring Lowes, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
