Blurb:
She meant to help a ghost...not unleash a curse.
Amelia Dupree hasn’t seen the Woman in White since the night her brother died.
The ghost seems to have disappeared from the woods surrounding Asylum, Pennsylvania—that is, until Charlie Blue moves into the creepy old MacAllister House next door. Amelia can’t help liking him, even though she spent her childhood thinking his grandmother was a witch. And she definitely can’t ignore the connection between his arrival and the Woman in White’s return.
Then Amelia learns that the Woman in White is a prisoner, trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead. Devastated by the idea that her brother could be suffering a similar fate, Amelia decides to do whatever it takes to help the Woman in White find peace--and Charlie agrees to help her.
But when Amelia’s classmates start to drown in the Susquehanna River, one right after another, rumors swirl as people begin to connect the timing of Charlie’s arrival with the unexplained deaths. As Charlie and Amelia uncover the dark history of Asylum, they realize they may have unleashed an unspeakable evil. One they have to stop before everything they love is destroyed.

Selected Songs:
The
Beginning:
To Travels and Trunks—Hey Mariseilles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKgJiu_-9PY
Science says stones don't fly through water
And souls don't matter if you love your mother
If karma could dance, she'd tango forever
And I'd sell my sleeves for some cloud ridden weather
Sleepless—The Decemberists
Were you sleepless, tearing at
the air?
Was the water everywhere?
Were you fretful, to wade into
the room?
I'd been wanting to hear from you
Oh, no
The
Middle:
What I
Wouldn't Do — Serena Ryder
Your love
is like an ocean
that
always takes me home
Whispering
wind is blowing
telling
me I’m not alone
Your love
is like a river
that I am
floating down
I’ve
never been a swimmer
but I
know that I’ll never drown
Born to Die
— Lana Del Ray
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bag1gUxuU0g
Feet
don’t fail me now
Take me
to the finish line
Oh my
heart it breaks every step that I take
But I’m
hoping at the gates,
They’ll
tell me that you’re mine
The End:
No Light No Light
— Florence & The Machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGH-4jQZRcc
No light,
no light in your bright blue eyes
I never
knew daylight could be so violent
A
revelation in the light of day
You can't
choose what stays and what fades away
Storm Comin — The
Wailin' Jennys
When that
storm comes
Don’t run
for cover
When that
storm comes
Don’t run
for cover
When that
storm comes
Don’t run
for cover
Don’t run
from the comin’ storm cause there ain’t no use in runnin’
I’m Jenny Adams Perinovic. I’m a twenty-something writer, library assistant and bookworm. I live just outside of Washington DC with my husband, Eric, and our tiny menagerie.I’ve been making up stories for my entire life, and writing for as long as I can remember. In school, I’d fill notebook after notebook with stories instead of paying attention in class. I spent my nights reading books under the covers with a flashlight, until my mother caught on and took the flashlight away.
Now, I spend my days working as a Circulation Specialist in a library. By night, I write YA speculative fiction about brave girls, the boys who love them, and their battles against dark forces. There’s always a bit of magic, a bunch of kissing, and a whole lot of spine-tingling creepiness.
Before moving to DC, I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2010 with a degree in Medieval and Renaissance Studies (yes, really) and half of three minors. I love medieval French literature, good books, pretty things, web design, photography, baking, writing, vintage clothes, ballet, and the color purple.
This sounds pretty interesting.
