Select Few

No one said having a superpowered family was easy, and Julia Jaynes was already estranged from hers when they disappeared off the face of the planet. Julia has graduated high school and escaped to California with her boyfriend, John, but even though she’s hiding her magical powers, she still doesn’t feel safe. The FBI has been tailing her since her father disappeared, and one wrong move could change all her plans in an instant. When the only other Puri left in Texas, Julia’s friend and confidante Angus, reappears, she finds that the FBI isn’t the only one following her every move. All she really wants is to move on with John and start a college career, but can she get everything she wants without bringing more danger to her loved ones? Told in alternating viewpoints—Julia in the present, John in the future—this sequel (Select, 2017) adds suspense and mystery to the original story line. It’s a romance cloaked in the trappings of the lives of the rich, and best suited for larger collections.
