Everyone else has fun in high school, but not Maddie Clevenger, the senior year's dork. Orphaned and living with her grandmother in the nowhere town of Coal Creek, she keeps her head down, her hair over her eyes, and herself as far away from the cheerleaders as possible... until she bumps into the cute new guy and he literally sends an electrical shock up her arm. Is it possible for a dork to fall in love at first jolt? Air Force brat Chase Donovan has moved from town to town forever, but now Dad's retired and promising they'll stay put for a while, so maybe he can get to know some of the Coal Creek girls. He couldn't care less about the cheerleaders, but there's something so vulnerable about Maddie, the shy girl with the beautiful jade eyes. Chase just knows taking care of her is his calling in life... but when bizarre, murderous flying monsters begin stalking her, he wonders if he is the key to solving her problem, and what it will cost him to protect her.
