Magnetic
Genre: YA Mystery/Romance
Release Date: September 2017
Summary:
When Elle Christiansen's rebellion leads to her father's expulsion
from a parsonage in small-town Ohio, the forlorn pair is forced to move to
Oklahoma to live with an aunt neither of them has ever met. Here she encounters
her aunt’s neighbor—Maverick Mason, the quietly confident son of a wealthy oil
tycoon who infuriates her as much as he inexplicably draws her in…
Maverick slowly gains Elle’s trust and coaxes her out from the
seemingly impenetrable walls of self-protection she erected around her heart
when her mother was murdered. He convinces Elle to confide the secrets of her
tortured past: that she saw her mother's murder before it took place, and she
was the one who found her, bleeding to death at the end of a lonely dirt road.
Together the unlikely pair begins to unlock the secrets of not only Elle’s
sordid past, but her mother's and grandmother’s as well, to uncover decades of
greed, corporate corruption, lies, and murder. Quickly, the sobering
realization hits: if they do not solve her mother’s murder, Elle will
undoubtedly suffer the same fate. As she continues her journey toward truth
alongside the boy she is magnetically drawn to in a way both frightening and
uncontrollable, Elle finds the road she is most afraid of going down—that one
lane dirt road where her mother was murdered—just might be the only place she
can truly find redemption.
Magnetic tells of the enduring pain of living with unsolved
violent crime. Inspired by debut author Carissa Miller’s true-life events, it’s
a haunting account of a young girl’s struggle in the aftermath of shattering
loss. With an unraveling love story, puzzling mystery, unexpected twists and
turns, and a gripping pace that will keep you turning pages, our heroine takes
you on her journey as she learns one of life’s great lessons: facing your fears
instead of running from them, is the only way to truly find freedom.
A Note from the Author:
Carissa Miller was inspired to write her debut
novel—Magnetic—because of her firsthand experience
living with the trauma of an unsolved violent crime, her
mother’s attempted rape and murder that remains unsolved to this day. Carissa never intended
to publish Magnetic until her children found it on her computer, started
reading it, and fell in love with the story and the characters, Maverick
and Elle. With her children challenging her and cheering her on, telling her
that she couldn’t give up because the world needed to read Elle and
Maverick’s story, Carissa finally edited and published Magnetic two
years after they found it on her laptop.
