SCINTILLATE by Tracy Clark is an exciting tale of love, thrill, mystery and chill!

Throughout the story we follow the life of seventeen year old Cora Sandoval who has some strange powers that she has never seen before. Cora can see people for who they really are, well most people. She falls in love with a delectable Irish boy, runs away to Ireland and meets someone with similar gifts. But what she doesn't know is that, the reason she's there will haunt her for life. She and her new friend Giovanni sleuth their way to some truths, maybe not THE truth, but truths dear to Cora's heart.

SCINTILLATE will keep you reaching for air. I could not put this book down. I found myself forgetting to breathe and giggling like a school girl. Tracy Clark has a way of making you not only feel the emotions and desire radiating off her characters, you can taste it, and it tastes good. The light that so brightly shines around the people in Cora's life also shines around SCINTILLATE! I will be waiting on pins and needles for the next book and I know you will be too.

SUMMARY

A mighty flame follows a tiny spark

Cora Sandoval’s mother disappeared when she was five and they were living in Ireland. Since then, her dad has been more than overprotective, and Cora is beginning to chafe under his confines. But even more troubling is the colorful light she suddenly sees around people. Everyone, that is, except herself—instead, she glows a brilliant, sparkling silver.

As she realizes the danger associated with these strange auras, Cora is inexplicably drawn to Finn, a gorgeous Irish exchange student who makes her feel safe. Their attraction is instant, magnetic, and primal—but her father disapproves, and Finn’s mother orders him home to Ireland upon hearing he’s fallen in love. After a fight with her father, Cora flees to Ireland, both to follow Finn and to look for her missing mother.

There she meets another silver-haloed person and discovers the meaning of her newfound powers and their role in a conspiracy spanning centuries—one that could change mankind forever…and end her life.
