The Geminae Duology
Book One: Hazel Stone is just an ordinary teenager—or so she thinks. But lately, she's begun mind-hopping into a stranger's dark reality, and she's starting to question everything, including her own sanity. Then she meets Max McCormick, the brilliant new kid in town with an impressive list of phobias. A bizarre series of coincidences brings the two of them together, and their lives take a sharp turn from the mundane to the metaphysical. It's up to them to uncover the truth buried in the Stone family history. The more Hazel sees, the less she understands—and the closer it brings them to mortal danger. Will she harness the extraordinary gift she has inherited to find the answers before it's too late? Book Two: Hazel Stone is beginning to accept her birthright—and the extraordinary powers that come with it—but she’s still a long way from understanding her connection to a stranger’s troubled life. Hazel and Max continue their desperate search for answers, but the trail leads them deeper into dangerous territory. They encounter some unlikely allies along the way—and cross paths with a fanatical doctor who seems hell-bent on hijacking Hazel’s abilities, no matter the cost.
