Bwahahahaha! Crappy summary #1
They call her Mistress of Death
All Tate Easton wants is to get away from the accident and everything it represents: a dead brother, a suffocating imitation of a once-happy family, a father she despises and a mother who can't let go. Not to mention the creepy, insane ability to "see" death -- and sometimes, do more than "see". So when the opportunity to dual-enroll in the local state college presents itself unexpectedly, she jumps at it. With a new set of friends and a death-free job at the area's only independent coffee house, Tate's ready to start living again. She even has a potential new love interest in the form of a strangely appealing regular named Luce, and an old one in the form of her ex Joel, who is determined to win back her affections. But then people -- people she really likes -- start dying around around her, in a series of unlikely and tragic events that bring the accident back in vivid, unwanted detail.
Death is an unhappy spiral, and that spiral is tightening around her
Now Tate has a choice to make, and it's much bigger than boyfriend present verses boyfriend past. It's the final stage of a game that's taken centuries, possibly millenia to unfold, and the outcome is all up to her. Someone is lying to her, and everyone seems to be playing her -- even her own family. The wrong choice will have bigger ramifications than she can possibly comprehend as she is, and may just send her back into that terrible place she never wanted to be again. Tate's only seventeen, and the fate of life and death sit in her hands.
And the longer she waits, the more people die.
Meh. It's a work-in-progress. It's YA, because I want to write something my sister can read, but only just. And, really, at its heart, it's a romance. I don't know if that essence of it comes across with this. I really need to tinker with it some more.
Title really needs work, too.
...Must sleep now. I'll see how it looks in the morning. @.@
