Synopses & Reviews
Whale-obsessed Cara has been on hundreds of whale-watching trips, but this time something is different . . . grey backs and orcas swimming together, so close to the boat that she can reach out and touch them? When one of the killer whales suddenly attacks, knocking Cara into the freezing water, cute newcomer David jumps in and saves her.Cara feels a deep bond with David like shes never experienced with any other boy, so she is devastated when she learns that he is spending his last year of college as the journalism teacher at her high school! And worse, she cant even turn to her best friend Rachel for support. Rachel isnt acting at all like herself: Shes gone from poring over Seventeen to spells and witchcraft, dresses in all black, and is quickly becoming dangerously obsessed with her new boyfriend. . . .In just a few weeks Cara has lost her best friend, discovered that her soul mate is off limits, and has somehow attracted the attention of a crazy stalker. Fortunately, she doesnt have to face it alone. Garren, the mysterious, gorgeous new boy (who even sweetly forgives her for hitting him with her car!) is there to support her. But is Garren too perfect to be real?
Review
Praise from the Swoon Reads Community: "A great read! The book is well written and Jenny has done a wonderful job developing her characters for the reader to enjoy. The underlying intrigue of the supernatural pulls you in and keeps your interest until the very last page." -- Amaryllis Scott"Loved this. Read it in one evening and thoroughly enjoyed the blend of the supernatural and the contemporary romance. Brilliantly judged development in the central love story with its sensitive handling of a tricky situation (teacher/pupil romance) and the addition of the different kind of ‘love story between Garren and Cara really added enjoyment. Smooth read with some humorous elements and beautiful descriptions of the compelling coastal town and wildlife of the ocean added even more depth." -- natster"Romantic, mysterious, and downright engrossing! This book takes off with an unexpected turn of events that leaves you wanting more and, at times, youll be unable to put the book down. Jenny Elliott does a great job creating a love story wrapped in thrilling paranormal events where one minute youre rooting for the couple in love and the next youre biting your nails hoping theyll run for their life! Not only is the story great, but youll fall in love with the characters. A great read and definitely at the top of my list!" -- Elaine Dominguez
