Release of Angel Kiss by Laura Jane Cassidy

"Jacki King is fifteen and adjusting to her new life in a small village. She’s missing Dublin but she’s making new friends: artistic Colin, feisty Emily – and Nick, gorgeous yet unavailable. But no sooner is Jacki settled than the torturous headaches and nightmares begin – followed by strange visions, voices and signs… Jacki refuses to believe that something paranormal is happening. But then she discovers the unsolved murder that occurred in the village years before....."

This is a short snippet from a new book called Angel Kiss by Laura Jane Cassidy. Angel Kiss is Laura's first book, published by Razorbill/Penguin and available in all good book shops and online since 5 May 2011.

Laura Jane Cassidy was born in 1986 in Co. Kildare in Ireland and has taken time out from her studies at Trinity College Dublin to complete her teen fiction series. She dislikes when people use the Internet to cheat at table quizzes, but likes when they use it to visit her popular blog, laurajanecassidy.com, where she talks about book-related matters as well as playlists, fashion and lots of other stuff.
