Refreshing new take on supernatural teen romance to be introduced at BookExpo America

PRLog (Press Release) - May 8, 2011 - New York, NY: In the steady stream of supernatural teen romances that hit the shelves in the wake of Twilight’s success, it can be tricky to separate the wheat from the chaff. Even those that are well-executed can be formulaic. But with Hex, a Witch and Angel Tale, Ramona Wray offers something refreshingly different.

Like most girls at Rosemound High seventeen-year-old Lily Crane is acutely aware of Ryder, the cutest guy in school who, sadly, is untouchable, especially for her. For when Lily touches someone, she learns all about their lives—a good skill on paper but which, in reality, makes her a social pariah.

Lily becomes the love interest of two students: Ryder, and newcomer Lucian Bell. The two act as if they know each other from a distant past, one which Lily suspects is full of terrible secrets. And certain secrets could even get a girl killed.

The novel is inspired by the stories Wray heard from her grandparents in Romania. “They were a couple of fantastic storytellers who filled my childhood with magic and stories about witches (vrajitoare), vampires (vampiri), fairies (iele or zane) and so much more,” she says. “I grew up with a strong sense of the supernatural.”

Hex tells a story of discovery and empowerment. Lily’s strength of character in navigating the winding paths of adolescence while balancing her unusual gift and unraveling the mystery of her past recommend her as an inspiring heroine for every high school girl seeking acceptance. But above all, Hex brings innovation to a genre that — it turns out — is not always predictable after all. Brooding sexy vampires will likely never lose their appeal, but it’s enjoyable to see killer half-angels and reincarnated medieval lovers at high school too.
