ABOUT THE BOOK: 
Lucas Fish and Katie Byrd couldn’t be more different. Lucas is cocky and impulsive while Katie is brilliant and serious, so despite both living together at Blackthorne Children’s Home in Crescent City, Maine, they are only vaguely aware of each other. This all changes when the two of them begin developing superhuman powers.

Shortly after Katie discovers her ability to fly, she hears Lucas talking to some friends about his abilities and realizes they may not as different as they seem. When she learns that Lucas is planning to rob a warehouse with some friends in order to be initiated into the Meta Human Hybrids, a super-powered gang that has been terrorizing their city, she reveals her secret to Lucas in a vain attempt to sway him from the robbery.

The mission ends in tragedy with the unexpected arrival of the gang, though, which Lucas feels responsible for, and leads to him joining up with Katie to oppose the Meta Human Hybrids. But they soon realize that the gang isn’t the biggest, nor the most sinister threat living in Crescent City.

A NOTE TO REVIEWERS, BLOGGERS, VLOGGERS FROM EDITOR-IN-CHIEF:
First of all, I'd like to share a brief personal note. I was diagnosed with a rare type of stage 4 cancer in November, 2017, and underwent a major surgery Dec 26. When I recovered from that, I went to Seattle to receive a type of radiation treatment that is only available there, nowhere else in the US. It's the only treatment my cancer will respond to. Overall, I was away from my family for about 5 months. This has been a difficult time in many ways, as I'm sure you can imagine. The emotional impact rocked me and my family harder than I had expected it would. 

The good news is, my repeat scans are clean! I am cautiously optimistic that I'll make a full recovery.

Things here at Dreaming Big slowed down considerably during that time, on the production front at least, but now it's back to business as usual. Expect more new releases coming soon as we work hard to catch up the backlog from my absence. Things have been growing, and thanks to some blogger coverage, we made it on a list of publishers that has received a lot of notice, and we've been receiving almost more submissions than we can handle! But we're handling it, and I'm excited about all the amazing new books we'll have for you soon!

Now, back to this release:
We have electronic review copies only. Email Kristi at dreamingbigpublications@outlook.com to request your electronic review copy, available in MOBI, EPUB, and PDF.

We also have an exclusive AUTHOR INTERVIEW to share with those of you who are interested.

As always, your reviews are much appreciated. Thank you for all the work you do to help spread the word about new books! I understand that you don't have time to review every book that comes your way, but I want you to know each and every one is appreciated more than you know. But for those of you who don't have the time to do a review, consider a blog spot promotion.

Thank you again for helping spread the word about our new book.
​
Sincerely,


Kristi King-Morgan
