"The Fallen" by Skarlette Knox NEW 4

>.< Okay, so here's part IV of the new cover I made for my NaNo proof copy. I liked the other ones, but I wasn't really happy with them--in this, I brought the school down, added the birds, and changed the thorn swirls. I'm still a bit unsure about these, since my lil bro says it seems too "girly" *facepalm*. I want it to be appealing enough for people to pick it up just 'cause of the cover, but I also want it to be cover-friendly to guys =/ (so you see my dilemma). Let me know what you think!!

And they all fall down...

 

For seventeen year-old Shiloh Alecta, being forced to move to East Olympia after the death of her grandmother is the breaking point in her already damaged life. And being enrolled in the prestigious Olympic Heights Preparatory School is just another way for her life to start over again while she fights to bury the past, all the while pushing herself away from God. But with new friends, a new afterschool club—a new life—it seems that she’s finally beginning to stand on her own.

 

And that’s when everything around her begins to shatter.

 

It begins with the nightmares. Then the rumors about the disappearance of one of the students the year before seem to be connected to certain members in the club. But with biased rumors and warnings from both sides against each other arising, the lines between trust and deceit begin slowly distorting. And as dark mysteries thrust Shiloh into the heart of dangerous secrets, it's only a matter of time before she finds that redemption may just cost her life and the only one who can save her is the very one she's pushing away.

 

“Fight it, murder it; bury it in your precious delusion. But one thing’s for certain: we ALL fall, darling.”

 

Who said picking up the fragments would ever be easy?
