Cipher Cover

Summer Davis sees deaths before they happen. She attempts to live a normal life by focusing on the dance team and her quarterback boyfriend. But then the way-too-cheery Angel of Death shows up and tells her she’s a Cipher—a person chosen to help people who are going to die resolve problems with their loved ones. Ashlyn Moore, one of Summer’s classmates, is going to die, and she needs Summer’s help before that happens.

It’s nearly impossible to get through to Ashlyn, who surrounds herself with chess nerds and geeks and makes it clear she doesn’t want to be friends. Desperate to complete her Cipher task before it’s too late, Summer turns to Troy, the guy who’s always been there for her and one of the few people she can trust. With his help, she makes progress. In fact, the closer she gets to Ashlyn and her friends, the more she feels like she’s finally found where she belongs. 

As the clock starts running down on Ashlyn’s life, Summer decides to change her objective. She’s going to save her new friend before it’s too late—even if it means messing with fate.

What else can I say about Cipher? Well, I love writing YA, and I wanted to write a teen who was going through the normal pressures of school, how much she wants to sacrifice to fit in, and figuring out how far she wants to go with her boyfriend, with this other huge revelation of being a Cipher. Summer makes mistakes. She’s not perfect. She’s a little lost at first, honestly. But when this story came to me, I knew I needed to write it. The teen girls who beta read for me encouraged me to publish it, and without them cheering me on, I might’ve been too scared. It’s a series that’s really close to my heart. There’s also a lot of mention of music. This book was written to so much Paramore, I feel like I need to thank them for their music. You can find the entire playlist for the book here: Cipher (if you have Spotify. Will get the link onto my website soon if not).  As we get closer to the July 22nd release day, I’ll post an excerpt or two. Thanks so much for stopping by, and if you’d like to, here’s the link so you can add Cipher to your Goodreads TBR list!
