    About this ebook

    As an empath who senses other people’s emotions, eighteen year old Jade MacKenzie is no stranger to special abilities. Her friend Morgan is a telepath and her uncle Hunter is a rare immortal. Jade enjoys sharing people’s feelings, even if it does bring on the occasional anxiety attack. Alex Mitchell, Jade’s long time friend, wants more than anything to escape his abusive father. On the verge of attending different colleges, Jade and Alex are faced with traumatic, new realities. Alex is injured and learns he has the potential to become immortal, and Jade’s parents are brutally murdered. Alex, knowing Jade is in danger, wants to become immortal to help keep her safe. But Hunter, as the only person with the power to change Alex, fights his decision every step of the way.
    As details regarding Jade’s parents’ death and her own ability are revealed, Jade leans on Morgan and Hunter for support and she and Alex fall in love. Shortly after Jade begins college classes, her life is threatened by an immortal. Will Jade stay one step ahead of those seeking to destroy her?
    The first in a series, THE SHEN COUNTER is a coming of age paranormal romance about a girl with an unbreakable spirit and a lonely, determined boy who together, conquer their fears to stay alive.

    Nicole Jakubowski

    I was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and was adopted at the age of five with my brother and sister. I lived there until I was six, then moved to Long Island. Shortly after, my family moved to Simsbury, Connecticut. I attended Plymouth State University (although at the time it was Plymouth State College) and studied both English and Spanish. After spending a semester in Seville, Spain, I decided my talents were with English Literature. In 1998, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in English Literature. I currently reside near Portland, Maine with my significant other and our cat.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
