Heartsick

Summary, etc.

Quinn is looking forward to her senior year at Poe University. She has big plans to hang out with her best friend, flirt with a certain boy genius, party at her favorite dive bar and figure out what she's going to do after graduation with her not-so-useful art major. But that's before she meets Luke, a hot townie who's moved back home to help take care of his dying sister. And it's before a weird epidemic sweeps across campus, mysteriously turning people's eyes purple.

Is it an odd side effect from a new party drug?

Is it a rogue virus developed in a campus lab?

Is it the mark of the devil?

Soon the town starts blaming the university and the student religious group becomes frighteningly aggressive in their on-campus accusations. Quinn and Luke are caught in the middle—until a tragic accident forces Luke to reveal the one part of himself he's kept carefully hidden. That he's so much more than the happy-go-lucky boy next door Quinn had believed him to be isn't a surprise...but this truth might be too dangerous for her to handle.

What some cool people have said about Heartsick:

"This unique read--containing a boatload of likable characters and a few spine-tingling chills--plays out like a mystery movie on the big screen. The author really keeps readers guessing with each flip of the page--and it gets more and more exciting all the way up to the last chapter, which has the potential to make jaws drop." - RT Book Reviews

"Sinead's writing is clever, timely, and refreshingly unique." - Carrie Butler, author of the award-winning Mark of Nexus series

"Heartsick by Caitlin Sinead is far more than just another NA romance where every scene must test the boundaries of sexual awareness. There is mystery, intrigue, moments of grave [d]anger and even death as the search goes on to discover who is responsible and how will this 'ailment' be cured. Not too deep, always moving at a good pace, Ms. Sinead flips from scene to scene and emotion to emotion brilliantly without slowing down [or] clogging up the pace with over-details." -Dianne, Tome Tender Book Blog

"Heartsick by Caitlin Sinead was a book unlike any other that I've read, which is saying a lot.... It was such a refreshing treat to read a book that was unique and hasn't been overdone or, as far as I know, been done before." - Lindy, A Bookish Escape

"A snappy, suspenseful plot balanced with stellar writing, brimming with chemistry and full of unique, nuanced characters. Quinn is the sort of strong, believable heroine I want to spend hundreds of pages with, and the mix of sci-fi-tinged mystery, small-town social tensions and a sweet-and-sexy love story kept me engaged until the end. Caitlin Sinead just made my auto-buy list." -A.J. Larrieu, author of Twisted Miracles
