Visit Jean Book Nerd for more Tour Information HERE





Synopsis 

Shortly after 17-year-old Maren Hamilton is orphaned and sent to live with grandparents she’s never met in Scotland, she receives an encrypted journal from her dead mother that makes her and everyone around her a target. It confirms that her parents were employed by a secret, international organization that’s now intent on recruiting her. As Maren works to unravel the clues left behind by her mother, a murderous madness sweeps through the local population, terrorizing her small town. Maren must decide if she’ll continue her parents’ fight or stay behind to save her friends.

With the help of Gavin, an otherworldly mercenary she’s not supposed to fall in love with, and Graham, a charming aristocrat who is entranced with her, Maren races against the clock and around the country from palatial estates with twisted labyrinths to famous cathedrals with booby-trapped subterranean crypts to stay ahead of the enemy and find a cure. Along the way, she discovers the great truth of love: that laying down your life for another isn’t as hard as watching them sacrifice everything for you.

Top 10 Things you would change about your high school years if you could go back in time.
1.       I’d get boobs before age 17
2.      I wouldn’t have left the bathroom with my dress tucked into my pantyhose at the Father-Daughter Banquet
3.      I would’ve petitioned harder for Gym to not be a graded class
4.      I wouldn’t have stayed on the phone until 3 am fighting with my boyfriend about things that obviously didn’t matter
5.      I would have gone to sleep mad (and woken up happier!)
6.      I wouldn’t have been so afraid of the popular girls
7.      I would have outlawed curfew
8.      I wouldn’t have missed my own prom because of a migraine
9.      I would have listened to my mother when she told me to put make-up on (because she knew the Seniors were coming to kidnap me, but no, I wouldn’t listen, so I deserved it when they grabbed me bare-faced in my Hello Kitty pajamas)
10.  I would’ve realized I wasn’t fat or stupid or ugly
