Book Description:
CULTURE SHOCK is a
witty tale of mystery and romance with a large helping of southern hospitality.
Macy Holmes is a
seventeen-year-old socially-isolated introvert since her best friend's death a
year ago. When her family decides to move from Manhattan to the quaint country
town of Bougainvillea, Florida, Macy finds she's in a completely different
world. Macy is no longer the outsider hiding behind designer clothes when she
is sought out by three strange students, one of whom she is particularly
interested in. The more time she spends with Chad the more things don't add up.
When his true identity is finally revealed, Macy is pulled into a supernatural
society with its saturation of inhabitants residing in Bougainvillea.
You would think she
has enough on her plate, but no, then her dreams become infiltrated by an
external magical force, Macy and her band of supernatural misfits must find the
culprit behind the magic-induced nightmares. They must dodge zombie assassins,
shifty shape-shifters and high school bullies in order to stop this perpetrator
before Macy, her friends or her parents pay the ultimate price.
Especially when
Macy has the sneaking suspicion that these dreams are reality...
Excerpt
We found a spot over by the water free of sawgrass. It was a beautiful view. On the back end of the lake was a dense forest. It was dark just beyond the first set of trees. That was the only end of the lake that had remained uninhabited. There was a syrupy mist rising slowly off the surface of the water. It was creepy, but romantic in a sinister way. The sights, sounds, and smells all mingled together to create a scene an artist would love to capture with the stroke of his brush.
Note: I would like to do the prologue and Chapter 1 but the word limit is too short, so I’ve included some samples above from the book to peak interest.
