FINDING IT by Cora Carmack 

Coming 10/1/2013

Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She’s having the time of her life…or that’s what she keeps telling herself.

It’s a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you’re afraid you won’t like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey’s loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey’s mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

I didn’t let myself wonder what that kiss meant in the grand scheme of things, or about the fact that Tuck’s hands were everywhere, pushing things pretty far past anything resembling friendship. Maybe this would ruin everything. Maybe Tuck just wanted me for that day—to slash and burn the undergrowth of longing that had rooted itself in our friendship. And maybe even if we wanted more, it would never work in the real world, back where Tucker Halloway was my brother’s best friend and a boy who collected crushes like other boys collect comic books.
But I didn’t care. All that mattered was then, that moment. All I knew was I wanted him too. I’d wanted hum for so unbearable long that I ached with relief to finally stop fighting it.

{GOODREADS}

Nothing ever happens in Norway. But at least Ellie knows what to expect when she visits her grandmother: a tranquil fishing village and long, slow summer days. And maybe she’ll finally get out from under the shadow of her way-too-perfect big brother, Graham, while she’s there.

What Ellie doesn’t anticipate is Graham’s infuriating best friend, Tuck, tagging along for the trip. Nor did she imagine boys going missing amid rumors of impossible kidnappings. Least of all does she expect something powerful and ancient to awaken in her and that strange whispers would urge Ellie to claim her place among mythological warriors. Instead of peace and quiet, there’s suddenly a lot for a girl from L.A. to handle on a summer sojourn in Norway! And when Graham vanishes, it’s up to Ellie—and the ever-sarcastic, if undeniably alluring Tuck—to uncover the truth about all the disappearances and thwart the nefarious plan behind them.
