Emotionally Charged

When an earthquake hits her hometown, teenage Livvy thinks this is her chance to make her dull life exciting and indulge her special skill of reading others' emotions. Amid the disaster, she is threatened by looters and fights back with a newfound quickness and strength. Livvy is aided by the arrival of Jake, a gorgeous boy who has an otherworldly ability to bend others to his will. Jake sweeps Livvy into the world of the Empaths, paranormals who have everything she has ever wanted. She learns she shares their power of feeding on other's emotions; happiness energises them, fear makes them fast, anger makes them strong and lust makes them hypnotically charming. When Livvy meets the Empaths' opposite, one with the ability to stop their powers from functioning, she is caught up in a supernatural battle. Livvy soon realises that judging on first appearances is a mistake and one that could cost her life. A bite sized paranormal romance for young adults, Emotionally Charged is a novella of 26,000 words, or 120 pages, about a third the length of a normal novel.
