Undefined by Jessica Ruddick
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Sophie loves being an elemental. Being able to bend the natural world to her will is thrilling, even if the need for secrecy is putting a cramp in her dating life. Lately, though, her powers have been growing, making it difficult to resist the heady temptation to use her gifts.
Trying to balance the elemental world with having a normal life is tough enough without her overbearing, way-too-perfect, and way-too-good-looking guardian Aidan watching—and judging—her every move. The trouble is she’s not sure where she fits in and she’s sure as heck not ready to conform to stringent elemental rules.
But when secrets about her life are revealed and outside forces threaten everything Sophie holds dear, she must embrace who she is or risk losing it all.

I remained on the bench, utterly destroyed. Residual power flowed through me, and I reveled in the sensation. I closed my eyes, blocking out the chaos around me. A small smile graced my lips.
"Sophie!" Lena’s voice pulled me out of my stupor, and I realized I was shivering. My clothing was completely soaked through. Her clothing was drenched as well, and she’d abandoned her hat and scarf. Her short hair was plastered to her head like a blond helmet.
"Come on," she shouted so she could be heard over the rain. "Let’s get out of here."
I looked around me, shocked to discover the stadium was nearly empty. I wondered how long I had been sitting there, drunk on the aftermath of using my powers.
The lingering shreds of exhilaration dissipated, giving way to the sick feeling that I’d opened the Pandora’s box inside me.
Jessica Ruddick is a 2014 Golden Heart finalist for her new adult novel, Letting Go, which was inspired by her own college experiences. She lives in Virginia and is married to her college sweetheart—their first date was a fraternity toga party (and nothing inspires love like a toga, right?). When she doesn’t have her nose in a book or her hands on a keyboard, she can be found wrangling her two rambunctious sons, taming two rowdy but lovable rescue dogs, and battling the herd of dust bunnies that has taken up residence in her home.
