Wicked Omega

by Lauren Courcelle

Overview

What if he had just told her the truth?
Could she have forgiven him?
Could honesty be even more powerful than magic?
Or are there some truths that are too unreal for unconditional love?

And action... It's Persephone's cue, but after what she's just learned, the only steps she's thinking about are the ones out the door. Yet, she's stronger than that; she's wicked strong... or just too in shock to know better. How could he? Her best friend! How could he? Yet, somehow, it's not the worst thing he could do... as she learns firsthand. Welcome to the darkness... Wicked Omega.

Persephone Smith's senior year of high school is wicked extraordinary. She experiences more by Labor Day than most people live through in a lifetime. But she was born for this, and her lineage gives her the power and the tools to overcome any obstacle... so long as she remains good.

Alas, the guy she loves seems to harbor the darkness within him... so what does Persephone do?

Love somebody else.

And should that not pan out, she'll run straight towards the darkness.

Each time it seems like her life has hit the lowest of lows, it gets worse. But does anyone expect a happily ever after from the dark and twisted version of Persephone's senior year of high school?

Join Persephone and her friends, family, and foes for their final year in Pine Hill, Vermont, before everyone disperses for college. Wicked Omega is the extra-long awaited second seventh book in the Persephone Smith series by author Lauren Courcelle and marks the next young adult novel in the coming-of-age, realistic, paranormal, fantasy saga. It, too, picks up where Wicked Together left off.

About the Author

Lauren Courcelle has lived in Vermont all of her life, but if she admitted how long that is, she'd be revealing her age, so don't expect her to confess it! As a child, she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up (because she liked to write on the chalkboard), but as a teacher, she realized that being able to have a daily impact on students, particularly when inspiring them to become lifelong lovers of literature, was the best part of the job. She left the field for a few years to try her hand at phlebotomy, and although she rarely missed veins, she certainly missed her students and yearned to share great children's books with them once again. Her aspirations were bigger than merely reading to young people; she wanted to write for them, too, so in May 2011, she pursued her dream of writing a picture book. Nearly 400 pages later, a chapter book, surprisingly, emerged from her efforts. That book was Wicked Normal. With it, Lauren immediately knew that protagonist Persephone Smith's story would be told via a twelve-book series. Having heard that traditional publishers frowned on authors marking their debut with a series, she opted to self-publish her first novel. She released the second book, Wicked Weird, less than six months later. The third, Wicked Awesome, was published within a year of the first. The fourth book of the series, Wicked Dramatic, marked Persephone's last year of middle school and the series' final "Middle Grades" novel, appropriate for precocious, younger readers (Ages 9+). When Lauren, herself, was in seventh grade, she stopped reading because the library ran out of books she wanted to read. Her librarian recommended a YA selection, but its content was too mature for her liking, so she returned it and didn't check anything else out. Consequently, the first four books of her debut series were crafted with her seventh grade self in mind - oodles of pages, lots of humor, tons of fun, the influence of Karmic magic, an abundance of innocence, colorful covers, and, of course, the occasional unicorn - without sugarcoating what it's truly like to be that age. Once readers are ready for YA (Ages 13+), Wicked Confessions, Wicked Together, Wicked Alpha, and Wicked Omega will be waiting with the tale of Persephone's high school years. From there, the final five books journey to college and beyond. Lauren continues to reside in Vermont and enjoys going to concerts, knitting scarves, making beaded jewelry, painting, and spending time with her family.
