“The stronger the emotions, the longer their energy lingers.”

Elizabeth “Betts” Peterson has everything she’s supposed to want: good grades, a hot boyfriend, and a fast-track into whichever sorority she chooses. Yet nothing—not the parties, the friends, or her classes—can distract her from the waves of intense emotion that come out of nowhere at the most inopportune times.

Then one night at a party, she meets Leo Hawthorn. He’s a new face to her—a handsome one, with a crooked smile and dark, all-seeing eyes. He knows why she feels fear one minute and sadness the next. Why she knows someone is anxious or angry or confused, even before they do.

Soon Betts finds herself living two lives: one that’s comfortably familiar and one that promises magic and power. Torn apart, she’s forced to ask herself who or what she really is.

Can she trust the man who claims to have the answers?
