Acknowledgments
Thank you, Kerri Buckley and Stephanie Doig, for your thought-provoking comments and marvelous edits. Thank you to everyone at Carina Press who helped make this book what it is. Thank you, Andrea Somberg, for advocating for my work and indulging me on my many questions about the publishing process.
My writers’ group was invaluable in bringing this story to fruition. Thank you, especially, Jeremiah Goulka, JD Mayrant, Jon Moffat, Elizabeth Nellums, Barbara Reck, Melody Schreiber, Kellie Small, Chrisi West and Jeff West for your support and feedback.
Ava Jae, Laura Rueckert, Phil Stamper-Halpin, Lisa Terry, and Wade Albert White, you’ve all helped me rethink aspects of those early drafts in order to tell a better story for Peyton and Dylan. Thank you not only for your insights but for being fun and supportive critique partners.
Adriane, how could I write a political book without your input! Thank you for taking the time to read it and supply me with your informative comments.
Dana, you’ve read every book I’ve written so far and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for all of your support.
Mom and Dad, thank you for encouraging me to write as soon as, well, I could write.
And Patrick, thank you for helping me to refocus when I really need to refocus.

“This unique read—containing a boatload of likable characters and a few spine-tingling chills—plays out like a mystery movie on the big screen.”
—RT Book Reviews
Quinn is looking forward to her senior year at Poe University. She has big plans to hang out with her best friend, flirt with a certain boy genius, party at her favorite dive bar and figure out what she’s going to do after graduation with her not-so-useful art major. But that’s before she meets Luke, a hot townie who’s moved back home to help take care of his dying sister. And it’s before a weird epidemic sweeps across campus, mysteriously turning people’s eyes purple.
Soon the town starts blaming the university, and the student religious group becomes frighteningly aggressive in their on-campus accusations. Quinn and Luke are caught in the middle—until a tragic accident forces Luke to reveal the one part of himself he’s kept carefully hidden. That he’s so much more than the happy-go-lucky boy next door Quinn had believed him to be isn’t a surprise...but this truth might be too dangerous for her to handle.
