I’ve learned that this teen is very independant. Her family circumstances have shaped the teens decision-making strongly enough that can rely on herself. Although it is briefly thought about, the teen has decided what she plans on doing after high school.

She’s an involved, intelligent, focused young woman who is ready to hit the ground running once she goes off to college.

The Velvet Heart Killer is still terrorizing New Orleans, keeping the city in the grip of fear without an end. FBI Profiler Fallyn Saunders is determined to catch him with the help of Detective Zachary Samuels of the NOPD. Everywhere she turns, Fallyn sees potential suspects. She’s always depended on her instincts, but as clues are revealed, she finds herself doubting her instincts, and also doubting what she feels for Zachary. Their relationship might have begun in junior high, but nothing about what they feel for each other now is juvenile.
