Today’s feature: Free (limited time) “Sophie’s Secret (Whispers)” by Tara West

 

 

After shedding 30 pounds of baby fat, Sophie Sinora has grown into a pretty, but insecure, teen in bloom. To make her life more complicated, Sophie can sometimes read minds.

Sophie’s BFFs, AJ and Krysta, are also ‘gifted’ with paranormal abilities. Keeping their gifts secret proves difficult, as their powers are strengthening, making them feel more and more like freaks.

When Sophie falls for Jacob, she hopes he’ll ask her out to the Freshman Formal. But when she’s forced to cheat and lie for him, she wonders how far she’ll have to go to make him like her. Add to her growing list of problems – her teacher’s suicidal thoughts, a locker bully who wants to kick her butt, the hot school flirt who won’t stop teasing her, her pregnant sister who boots Sophie out of her room, and the growing tension between Sophie and her best friends.

Sophie’s got issues. Hopefully, she can fix them in time to save her teacher’s life and her social life.

“I absolutely adored reading this story by Ms. West. Her voice is extremely unique and fresh. She immediately transported me into the story from the very first sentence.” Night Owl Reviews

“As sweet romance with a hint of the paranormal, Sophie’s Secret is a joy to read. It even reminded me of my own high school crush (What was I thinking?). Author Tara West seems to know the mind of a teenage girl, and she used that gift to make Sophie’s Secret a fun, witty, and doggone great teen romance that girls of all ages can enjoy.” Nights and Weekends Reviews

“If you like cute young adult fiction or know a teenage girl, you will find this story charming with a twist!” The Romance Studio
