The Weird Travels of Aimee Schmidt: The Curse of the Gifted

...Aimee decided she was too tired to eat, or even take a shower, although she knew she should do both. After a quick goodnight kiss, she left her dad sitting in front of the TV eating pizza and drinking a beer. As soon as she hit her bedroom she tore off her jeans and hoodie and climbed into bed. She laid perfectly still trying to empty her mind of everything that had happened since her surreal dream early that morning. Aimee figured she should be afraid to sleep. Afraid to dream. Afraid of the next journey. Afraid of the unknown. But something calming swept over her, and instead of being fearful of what she knew would eventually happen again, she felt at peace, even exhilarated. Some people spend their entire lives trying to understand why they exist. Aimee knew, without a doubt, what she was destined to do with her life. She was born to travel.

But, unfortunately, Aimee now knew there was a good chance she could die doing it. ...

Normal. That's all Aimee Schmidt wants to be. But for an eighteen-year-old with the "crazy chick" reputation from middle school, blending in is a struggle at East Medford High School. For the past few years, she's worked hard at being a chameleon. In another five months, she'll be out of high school, and in the fall off to college at the University of the Cascades where no one but her brother and his fianc e knows her. Only life doesn't always go as planned. Aimee discovers she has been cursed with a special gift, one that must never be revealed. And suddenly, Dylan Townsend, the most popular guy and the star quarterback at East Medford, dumps his beautiful girlfriend, Brandi Peters, to ask Aimee out on a date. Why? Despite his jock friends' attempts to convince Dylan he shouldn't date the "crazy chick", Dylan's feelings for Aimee grow deeper. His ex's venom spews as she realizes Dylan dropped her for the school weirdo. Hatred turns into revenge. Revenge makes for suspense as Aimee realizes she is being stalked. And even in her dreams, she is haunted by a blue-eyed stranger. Don't worry, Aimee, it's only a dream, right? Worse of all, Aimee must keep everyone, especially Dylan, clueless about her mysterious disappearances and fateful returns as "They" send her through time into dangerous situations.

Sizzling passion. Dark secrets. Spiteful evil doers. Dreams that resemble reality. Reality that flirts with death. The perfect formula for a "can't put down" new adult, paranormal romance. Travel with Aimee as "They" send her through the tunnel into another time to save people in danger. If she's lucky, she'll return alive. And maybe you will, too!
