"What Twilight should have been " -Paranormal Book Club All she wanted was to disappear... Claire Martin is a young woman with an unwanted ability. She's empathic. She's lived her entire life shuttered away from human contact for fear she would be unable to remember where she ended and others began. Leaving for college she hopes simply to blend in with the crowd where she can hide her curse. Within her first few weeks at school Claire meets Stephen, a small, fragile boy who recognizes her for what she is. Stephen has secrets of his own and draws her into his world where she meets James, and her life changes forever. James Thomas is a vampire and has abilities as well. Abilities that, when they touch with Claire's, connect the two in a way the world hasn't seen in three hundred years. Their bond will pit their natures; human against vampire, leading them to question who they are and what they ultimately desire while they work together to protect the human world from a war that could destroy them all.
