Summary from Goodreads:
When everything else is lost, there is always hope.
While most teens want an epic senior year, Trinity Whitebone hoped for a normal one. Being seventeen was hard enough. Having the emotions of everyone around you in your head made life more than a little difficult.
Until Blain Heros enrolled.
He screamed hot-god in jeans with just his walk. His intense stare warmed her skin like a thousand suns. Unfortunately, his interest in her seemed to run from blazing to freezing in the span of moments and left her nothing but confused. She could deal with things not being normal, but when life goes from strange to dangerous…
Trinity is the direct descendant of Pandora and fated to rectify the terrors released into the world by her curious ancestor. With powers she didn't know existed and abilities she never wanted, Trinity tries to walk away from everything her life had become. She thought she could turn her back on her fate, until a band of rogue immortals discover who she is and will do whatever it takes to control her powers. Trinity is left with one decision…Embrace fate or die trying.

Excerpt:
Paying more attention to not dropping everything, I neglected to see the empty container on the floor. I slipped and took a not-so-graceful plunge to the maroon carpeted floor.
Popcorn fell from my hair and soda sprayed all over my white shirt. I noticed a group out of the corner of my eye. Humiliation set in as I realized Courtney and the rest of her gang laughing at me. Then my stomach squeezed, but not from the humiliation, from something else entirely.
A guy I'd never seen before moved to the front of their group. From the floor, I worked not to let drool fall from my mouth. Rebecca didn't exaggerate; the guy was freaking hot. Tall and lean, his black T-shirt clung to his body, providing a hint of muscles beneath. His sandy blond hair was short, but long enough to weave your fingers through its thick layers.
He broke away from the others. Had there been a rock, I would've crawled under it as the gorgeous guy started walking toward me. My eyes met his aqua blue ones. I couldn't stop staring as he extended his hand to help me to my feet. My hands shook, and my heartbeat turned into erratic gallops.
As soon as his hand touched mine my inner light washed over me, killing the darkness with its beauty. The constant tug- of-war battling inside of me no longer held. In those few eternal seconds, his shocked expression mirrored mine.

Born and currently residing in Midland, Texas, Angela shuffles three busy children (not including her husband) all over the place. She works in a busy pediatric doctor's office as a nurse during the day, and writes at night. She is addicted to coffee-who isn't? And firmly believes chocolate can fix all-especially chocolate ice cream. She laughs a lot, often at herself and is willing to try anything once (she thinks). When Angela isn't rushing kids around, working or writing, she's reading. Other than life experience, Angela turns to a wide variety of music to help spark her creative juices. She loves to dance and sing, though her kids often beg her not to.
