Just about everything you’d expect to happen to a harassed foster-kid turned junkie has happened to Penny. Add in the mysterious power to rewind time, conducting events around her, and it’s a wonder she held up on the streets for so many years. Now, at seventeen, the New Society has found her. Finally, Penny is where she belongs. But that doesn’t stop the visions, or the need to protect the victims shown to her.Wyatt Adams is excited and intrigued when his sister Melody assigns him to be Penny’s Lookout. Being the youngest, and hopelessly ordinary in the family that created the New Society, has left Wyatt feeling like he has a lot to prove -- and Penny is a big deal. She’s got abilities that surpass any he’s seen before…and pretty much every quality he looks for in a girlfriend, but no one needs to know about that, especially Penny. less

PENNYNo one stops me. Elle doesn't say, “Penny, it’s okay, I know you didn't mean it.” She doesn't grab for my arm and pull me to her in one of her smothering hugs, or even meet my eye as I run past her. My cousin Elle’s eyes aren't on me until I’m at the stairwell, when they join everyone else in the dormitory hall at boring holes in the back of my head.I had a family for a few days.

My cousin Elle’s eyes aren't on me until I’m at the stairwell, when they join everyone else in the dormitory hall at boring holes in the back of my head.I had a family for a few days. An actual group of people that cared for me. A guy I was going to let myself be a little bit in love with, even if I was never going to admit it to him.The concrete stairs are smooth and cold on the bottoms of my feet. I go down three flights of stairs to the yellow hall and pass my badge and Wyatt’s back and forth over the lock until it recognizes the combination and snicks open. I can’t believe, but am grateful, they haven’t changed the locks already. Their level of trust is astounding for a bunch of people who have a clue what’s coming.Dragging in a deep breath, I hesitate for an instant, not wanting to leave everything behind. In truth, I was going to let myself be a little bit in love with all of them. I was going to let them take care of me. Nurture me.Ha. Nature prevails. And it’s in my nature to destroy everything good that comes to me. I may have the power to save other people, but I’m never going to be capable of saving myself.*The Penny Black trilogy is a companion to the Zellie Wells trilogy and not a continuation of the series.*Due to language and sexuality, FRAYED is recommended for older teens.Penny Black trilogy:FoundFrayedFearless less
