Today's spotlight is on:
EVERLASTING
By L.K. Kuhl
Dying wasn’t a choice. For Sophia, it was a need.
Everlasting is the first book in the Everlasting
Trilogy, a YA Paranormal Romance series.
Back Cover
Blurb:
Seventeen-year-old Sophia Bandell is scared of
boys, and her biggest fear is dying. Boys make her uncomfortable and itchy and
dying is …well …dying. She is ecstatic when her long lost friend calls her,
inviting her to spend the summer with her on the beach at Charleston, South
Carolina.
When a plastic saucer hits her in the head as
she’s sunbathing, Sophia has no idea it will forever change the course of her
life. It is there she comes face to face with the impressive Tate Forester.
She is scared and …itchy, but he’s gorgeous and
she can’t shake him from her mind. They begin dating and Sophia soon knows he’s
the one.
But things turn dark when she learns Tate isn’t
the person she thinks he is, and the real reason her friend has brought her to
the beach will teach her about life after death.
This everlasting summer on the beach gives
Sophia a sweet taste of first love—the happiness as well as the heartbreak.
Excerpt:
We stood there and looked around, an awkward silence
playing between us. Then he stepped closer and took my hand in his, sending a
bolt of staggering electricity zipping through my chest. “Her hand fits
perfectly in mine.” He whispered this, as if confirming it with someone. His
gaze locked on it, analyzing, then with a shake of his head, he spoke louder.
“Sophia, I’m sorry. I …I lied to you.”
I looked at him—bewilderment crinkling my
face—and tried to understand. “Lied?” My voice broke. “I don’t get it.”
“I wasn’t sick that day. Well, in a way I was, I
guess. The truth is, I was gut-sick. That guy …he was sitting by you the whole
day ...and …and he never left your side. I’d check throughout the day, but he
was still there. I couldn’t help it. I was insanely jealous.” He looked down,
his tone deepening as he flexed his fingers that were still laced through mine.
“What?” His words astounded me. I swiped my brow
with my free hand. “You were jealous …of me?”
He released my hand and paced back and forth,
the nervousness seeping through as he wrung his hands. “I know it’s stupid, but
I couldn’t help myself. I love the way you laugh and …I like you, Sophia …a
lot, and it hurt me to see you with someone else.”
He lifted his hair off his forehead, pushing it
up. His eyes locked on mine again, captivating me. I couldn’t look away. My
self-consciousness took over—heckling me. The way I looked right now—with my
hair a matted mess from the mist, and no makeup on—must look ridiculous. I drew
away, making myself smaller.
I laughed my nervous laugh and kicked the sand
with my shoe. “Who, him? You mean …Brian?” My words wobbled, but I giggled,
unable to believe that Brian talking to me could make anyone jealous.
