It turns out, after some decent amount of interaction between Ethan and Lena and a fair amount of wanting to know what’s up with her (that’s what finally got me hooked), Lena has some peculiar powers. It’s fairly easy to do, as she’s the niece of the town’s odd recluse, their Boo Radley stereotype, Macon Ravenwood.
Ethan falls in love with her, of course, and his cheerleader wanna-be-girlfriend gets the rest of the town to run her out. And then you have Lena, the new girl who’s different and just doesn’t fit in. You’ve got your jocks on the b-ball team, your cheerleaders and their cheerleader moms who run the town. The stereotypes cast in the early pages at his school are the main reason I put the book down the first time. I’m glad I did.Įthan Wate lives in Gatlin, South Carolina and can’t wait to leave for all the typical reasons. But as I was on a 17-hour road trip to Alabama for Spring Break, I stuck it out this time. In fact, as I was reading, I realized I had picked it up before and never gotten past the first few pages. It did take me a few chapters to get into. Starting with Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. So, while we’re waiting for all that to go down, I’m going to sneak a couple of book reviews in over the next two weeks. In the meantime, Ebb Tide is available for pre-order on the Amazon website. It’s undergone final revisions and is currently out to my last line of defense, my amazing Typo Sweeper. After three consecutive posts about the research that went into my upcoming novel, this was supposed to be the grand finale, the big announcement that Ebb Tide has released!!!!
