YA Paranormal Fantasy | Pause in Editing

Alina is a shadow on the wall compared to everyone in her small town--where Friday nights are reserved for underage drinking, organized by her best friend--but she harbors more burdens than her classmates can even imagine. It's been five years since she and her twin sister, Alison, were abducted. The kidnapper took Alison hostage and left Alina behind, leaving her with only a dim memory of the event and double vision that impacts her daily. When Alina notices her double vision beginning to change, she realizes there is more to the story than she ever knew, even the parts she kept to herself, the pieces that seemed impossible all this time. Imagine what everyone would think if she let slip the magic portal in the woods that took Alison. Things like that don't just happen, do they? But after meeting Warren, the new kid in town, she finds that he knows more about her untold story than even she does, and with his help, she allows herself to believe in the portal, to find Alison. Anything to find Alison.
