Description

She fell for him in a nighttime world. But the time for dreaming is past-and the here and now can be just as fragile as their love . . . When Theia Alderson first encountered a mysterious, handsome boy in her dreams, she never imagined how finding Haden Black-and falling in love-could change her life. To save Haden, Theia sacrificed everything. And the dangerous bargain she made could have lasting repercussions. Now Theia has returned to Serendipity Falls, and she finds herself struggling with the same deadly hungers that have tortured Haden. When students at their high school fall prey to a mysterious illness, Theia can't help but wonder whether Haden's control is slipping-and how much longer she'll have a grip on her own. And still the nightmare realm of Under won't let them go. Someone from Haden's past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start . . . Praise for Falling Under 'A lush, romantic, and captivating novel.

She writes books for teen readers about love, angst, and saving the world, FALLING UNDER is her debut novel. You can also find Gwen every other Friday at The Fictionistas, the coolest YA blog in the whole universe, and just about every day she's tweeting something nonsensical on her Twitter page.
