Synopsis
I’m a magical misfit
I won’t let it define me
A bolt-zapping disaster magnet
But at least I’m still trying
The guy I like asked me out
I hoped my luck was changing
Then my coven trials began
…they’re harder than I expected
Now my life hangs in the balance
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I do know this:
I’m not going down without a fight.
‘Out of Sync’ is a YA paranormal romance about a magical misfit who faces her perilous coven trials, falls in love and nearly dies more times than seems polite to mention.
EXCERPT
When
I opened my eyes, I noticed that I had been perched upright in a hallway across
from one of the purification pods. A disembodied voice congratulated me on
completing my second trial, somehow aware that I had regained consciousness.
My
throat went dry as my eyes searched for cameras, paranoia surging throughout my
system. These people were crazy; there was no other explanation for what I had
just been through.
I
swerved away from the pods; sure, it would be nice to be clean, but that’s how
they got you— with the pristine, warm showers and scented soap. Before you knew
what was going on, they would try to kill you again. In the back of my mind I
wondered why they needed to clean you in between the attempts on your life, but
I wasn’t about to try to understand their crazy.
I
just wanted out.
Once I
found my way out into the open air, I saw the hooded figures had reconvened.
One
of them was speaking, and I could hear him clearly, as if he was standing right
beside me, drowning out my thoughts. “Your next testing phase will commence
within the next few days.”
A
chill passed through me.
I
steeled myself. No. Nope. Not gonna happen, buddy, I decided.
“The third trial is set by the coven which has shown interest in
you, based on your scores, rank and lineage.
If
you pass, the elemental trials will follow throughout the next few months,
according to the full moon .
. . .”
My
ears buzzed as the announcer’s voice began chanting from inside my skull. My
body was still
shaking off the numbness in my muscles and the contrasting heat in my limbs.
I
had to find a way out of here. The cold air was biting, sinking into my skin,
clawing at me from
beneath my clothes.
The
announcer’s voice joined the crowd in chant, and the magic began to swell
around me.

AUTHOR BIO:
When not immersed in books - be it writing or reading them - Ainat can usually be found nestling a cup of coffee in the company of her husband and twins. A former fast-food employee, T-shirt seller, and glorified secretary, Ainat eventually found herself with Bachelor's and LL.M. degrees and working as a lawyer. A few years later, listening to a catchy pop song about dream fulfillment, Ainat decided to buy a clunky little laptop and get to work. Ten novels and a much better laptop later, she came to the realization that hitting the double-digit mark meant it was time to publish and start consuming coffee (though not necessarily in that order).
When she isn't writing, editing, or mothering, Ainat enjoys reading promiscuously (which, to her, means she's reading several novels at a time while committing to none), watching political dramas and sci-fi series, and taking embarrassing memos-to-self complete with accents and dramatic pauses that should never be unleashed, ever.
