Cover Design by Silvia Paoletta

Synopsis
Most children hope to grow out of their imaginary friends.
17-year-old Rin Waters’ only hope is that hers doesn’t kill someone, especially when said imaginary friend puts a boy in a coma. Finding herself shipped half-way around the world—to Japan, of all places—she is forced to live with grandparents she hasn’t seen for ten years and a cousin she can’t even remember.
Rin would rather just forget about the one night that ruined her life and pretend her imaginary friend doesn’t exist—if it was only that easy. When manga-obsessed otaku, Matt, won’t stop pestering her about a manga that sees the future and the tragic accident she’ll be involved in if she doesn’t listen to him, pretending becomes quite a challenge.
Suddenly mysterious accidents begin to happen to students in her school, and Rin has to wonder what length Matt is willing to go to prove his manga is real. Is it all a sham or is there really something that wants to see Rin and her new friends dead?

The cover art is interesting and would get me to read the jacket for sure! I had an imaginary friend when I was a kid, and it was a Hawk of all things! LOL! I called the Hawk… Ringo! Too funny what kids will think of! I used to cry when it was storming outside until Mom let Ringo fly into my sister’s and I’s bedroom at night! What a hand full I was! Lots of love, Emily
Too cute Emily. Your poor mom. LOL
Thanks for taking part in the reveal, Laura! 🙂
Once upon a time, I did have an imaginary friend. . .So, can you imagine how working on the design for this cover was for me? *shivers* Oh, well, I loved every minute spent with this project AND I hope you’re going to grab the book when it’s out! 😉
Loved being a part of the reveal Silvia. It give me shivers too and I’ll be reading the book! Thanks so much for coming by.
I’ve never had an imaginary friend, but I’d love to read this book about one!
A brother and sister writing duo–how cool is that!
I know, I wonder if they argued? LOL
I had an imaginary world!
