Speechless Ava Cates

It's Julia's first day attending a "regular" high school. She just wanted to know what it felt like to be normal for once. But Julia quickly begins to realize, her high school experience is anything but regular. It all begins when an attractive guy suddenly shows an interest in her. Then wait. . . could she actually hear him? She thinks she did, but just as quickly as the sounds came, they vanished, and with them so did the guy. How was this even possible? Was she getting her hearing back? Plus, there's a fire no one can remember but her. (Maybe her mind is going too?) But that is not all: a 'mean' girl has also taken an interest in her, a symbolic mark appears down Julia's back that she can't explain, and not everyone is who they say they are. Julia's life will never be the same after this year. And definitely, not like how it was before. It's enough to leave a person. . . Speechless.
