Synopsis:
Convinced she’s a part of the witness
protection program, sixteen-year-old Jewel Rose is shuffled
around the globe with her family like a pack of traveling
gypsies. After arriving at lucky home twenty-seven, she stumbles
upon a mysterious boy with magical powers claiming to be her
guardian . . . and warning of imminent danger. Despite the
obvious sparks between them, Jewel discovers a relationship is
forbidden, and the more she learns about dark, brooding Roman,
she begins to question who she can even believe — the family who
raised her, or the supposed sworn protector who claims they’ve
been lying to her all along.As she struggles to uncover who her family has really been running from, she is forced to hide her birthmark that reveals who she is. With new realities surfacing, unexplained powers appearing, and two tempting boys vying for her heart, Jewel battles to learn who she can trust in an ever growing sea of lies, hoping she’ll make it through her seventeenth birthday alive.

About Titles:
Usually I
come up with a title before I start writing a book. I’d actually originally
chosen a different title for Spectral. It was going to be titled Cursed right
up until after it was finished. I still love that title, don’t get me wrong, but
when I found out there was going to be two other books coming out with the same
title in 2012, I decided it needed a fresh look. I thought of something with
the word Spectral in it, since that term is a huge part of story’s plot, and
holds a lot of meaning for the main character, Jewel. In the end, I decided
(with advice from others), to leave it at the short, catchy, yet simple—one
word title of SPECTRAL. I hope the readers will like it!
