Summary:
Torn between two realities.
A choice that will mean life or death.
She won’t know anything… until she wakes up.

College sophomore, Lila Spencer lived Friday night twice. She doesn’t know how or why, just that she did. As if she split in half and went in two different directions.

Out clubbing with her friends, Heather and Nilah, the girls rock it out and party hard. What begins as an innocent night will lead to a deadly fight for their lives, and Lila might be their only chance for survival.

In bed with her boyfriend, Jay, Lila is safe and warm as she drifts to sleep in the arms of the man she loves. Until she is sucked into a horrifying nightmare of her friends’ deaths.

As the sunlight warms her face on Saturday morning, the two scenarios collide. But there can be only one outcome. Will she wake up in her warm bed with Jay by her side, devastated and grieving for her friends? Or was she there to save them?

The answer is just the beginning.


Inspiration for Bitter Angel
By Megan Hand

This story came to me as all of my stories do – in a half-awakened dream. Often, when I’m waking up, I’ll lie in bed for a while and let the movie play out in my head. Bitter Angel, however, was the first novel I wrote completely blind. I usually let the stories simmer in the dream-movie stage for months before they become words on a screen.

Not Lila’s story. I sat down one day, wrote a chapter, and I was hooked. The excitement of the plot also drove me. I had an idea of the outcome, but nothing prepared me for the journey these characters would take me on. It was scary. It was twisted. It was wonderful. And I’ll never forget it.

About the Author:

At twelve, Megan decided to write a novel. A month later, she quit. A reading junkie by nature, she started writing again in her twenties as a way to get the voices out, because who wouldn't want to create a Real Living Person out of thin air? Megan also plays the piano and sings. She teaches little kids and takes pictures of pretty butterflies. She eats way too much chocolate, is sort of a mad scientist with her blender, and spends an unhealthy amount of time LOLing on Facebook and Twitter. She lives in Ohio with her husband and very smiley son. Bitter Angel is her first published novel.
