Blurb from Clean Teen Publishing:
The Young Elites meets Red Queen in
this action-packed dystopian fantasy series that has readers calling it
“addictive,” “masterful,” and “a story of murder, secrecy, and unlikely
friendships.”
Her
very existence is a crime… Seventeen-year-old Serena isn't human. She’s
a bad blood, and in the politically corrupt city of Vendona, bad bloods
aren’t allowed to live. When Serena is aided in an escape moments
before her execution, a revolution is sparked. While on the run, she’s
forced to put her trust in a man she knows little about.
Daniel
will do anything to stop the twelve-year war that has killed so many of
his own. When Serena falls into his life, he sees the opportunity to
fight back and stop the eradication of all bad bloods. But there’s more
to Serena than meets the eye. They share a connection to his tragic and
mysterious past, and the two of them united together might just be
Vendona’s only hope.
United or not, a city will fight, rain will fall, and all will be threatened by star-crossed love and political corruption.

Excerpts from November Rain:
Excerpt 1:
“I’m
here to say goodbye,” I blurted out, speaking over my deafening thoughts.
He blinked, startled, and I knew I
had yelled it at him, but his expression softened as he stepped closer to me.
He took another step, and I couldn’t move. He even reached out and touched my
hand, wrapping his fingers around the flower until it was in his grasp instead
of mine. “You keep saying goodbye,” he said, “yet you keep coming back.” He
tucked the white flower behind my ear.
“I know.”
“Let
me help you—” I began, but she dodged to the left.
I cut her off.
She stepped forward, leaning too far
to the right in a limp. “Get out of my way.”
I didn’t respond. The police would
catch her if she kept running, and I wouldn’t lose another blood to Vendona’s
massacre.
“I will kill you,” she promised,
baring her teeth.
“I know.”
She paused at my words, and her
hesitation was the only weapon I had.
Before she could react, I stepped
forward and raised my arm. When she ducked, I swung my leg out and my foot
collided with her injured leg. She hit the pavement with her head.
I cringed but bent down to haul her
up. She was a rag doll in my arms—an angry rag doll—but a rag doll,
nonetheless.
She screamed as she reeled back to
hit me, but I dragged her into Shadow Alley and pushed her against the bricks.
“Shut up,” I ordered, kneeling down to put my lips near her ear, “and you might
live through this.”
