Romiette & Julio
Romiette and Julio
Paperback
Summary
When Romiette Cappelle and her best friend Destiny decide to order The Scientific Soul Mate System from the back of the Heavy Hunks magazine, they're not sure what they're getting into. Destiny, a self-proclaimed psychic, assures Romi that for $44.99 plus shipping and handling, it's the only way they're ever going to find out who their soul mates really are. If nothing else, maybe Romi will get some insight into that recurring dream she's been having about fire and water.
But they never expect that the scented candle and tube of dream ointment will live up to their promises and merge Romiette's destiny with Julio Montague, a boy she's just met in the "cosmos" of an International chat room. It turns out they go to the same high school, not to mention having almost the same names as Shakespeare's famous lovers! Sweet-scented dreams of Julio have almost overtaken Romi's nightmares...
......when suddenly they return , but this time in real life. It seems the Devildogs, a local gang, violently oppose the relationship of Romiette and Julio. Soon they find themselves haunted by the purple-clad shadows of the gang, and the fire and water of Romiette's dream merge in ways more terrifying-and ultimately more affirming- than even Destiny could have foreseen.
