“He loved her.
Jay Heaton, her best friend since childhood was in love with her. He didn't say it but she knew that it was true.
And the part that really freaked her out, the part that caught her completely off guard, is that he wasn't alone. Because even though she'd been denying it for a long, long time, it had always been there... waiting beneath the surface of their friendship. And now that it was out there was no going back.
And it was so weird to even be thinking it but...... she was in love with him too.”

“What are you doing here?" she asked as she slowed from a jog to a walk and placed her hands on her hips. It would take her a few minutes to get her breathing back to normal. Longer if he kept smiling at her like that.
He shrugged. "I couldn't sleep. What about you?"
She opted for the obvious and filled her voice with as much sarcasm as she could. "I live here, actually”

“Multihued light radiated up from beneath the water, centered among the reeds, and then diffusing outward as it reached the surface. Violet had never seen anything like it, and she knew that the spectrum of light was defying its very nature by behaving in that way.
It could only be one thing.
There was something dead down there.”
― The Body Finder

“IT was the most horrible, the most repellent thing she had ever seen, far more nauseating then anything she had ever imagined with her consious mind, or that had ever tormented her in her most terrible nightmares.”

There is still a giveaway being hosted by HarperCollins on the actual LAST ECHO Goodreads page. Hope that helps :)
And I would LOVE to come to VA with VR and MdlC. They are both super sweet!!! YOU should come to Chicago in April (we'll all be there for the RT convention ;)
Wait, I'm slightly lost. How do we win a GIVEAWAY for The Last Echo? haha. And yes, it may have calmed down your jitters but it only made me go more crazy and get more sad that you will not be coming anywhere near VA :( haha. That should be a goal of yours....to make your way to the east coast! And bring Veronica Roth & Melissa de la Cruz with you! haha. Anyways, I can't wait to get my Body Finder books soon. You are a genius <3

I absolutely love your books. I just spent all Saturday night finishing Pledge. I was up till 4. I couldn't stop reading and I couldn't go to bed not knowing what happend. I can't wait for your next book! I've been waiting eagerly for The Last Echo to come out. Ah! I remember when I read The Boody Finder, I spent all night reading it. I ended going to bed Saturday morning at 7. You have a way of drawing your readers in and I'm greatful that your sharing your talent with the world.
