Byronic
Genre: YA Supernatural Romance
Publisher: Omnific Publishing
Release date: June 2014
When the creatures in her dark drawings come to life,
Chelsea finds that the mysterious Geoff is the only person she can confide in.
But she can't help wondering who she’s kissing: her tender confidant or the
dangerous Byronic rebel bent on shocking his detached father.
Starting over in the South Carolina Lowcountry is just
what sixteen-year-old Chelsea needs. Unfortunately, moving also means living
with her mom's snobbish British novelist employer and his moody son Geoffrey.
Knowing that her new home likely used to be a slave holding plantation doesn't
make her feel any more at home.
Troubled and reckless after his brother's mysterious
death, Geoff often mimics his father’s literary favorite, Lord Byron, acting
"mad, bad, and dangerous to know." She's determined to keep her
distance and buries herself in her art, though the darkness of her drawings
troubles her and others who see them. When people in the Gullah and Geechee
community point out that she has been drawing Boo Hags and haints -powerful and
terrifying creatures of local legend and superstition- she starts to wonder
about her own heritage and her connection to the Sea Islands. She begins to
question her own grasp on reality when it seems those creatures start making
their way out of her drawings and into real life.
It's clear that Geoff has some secrets of his own, but he
might be the only person she can confide in. Chelsea must decide who she can
trust, when nothing in the Lowcountry is what it seems.
