Opposition

Acknowledgments

Closing out a series is never an easy thing to do. It’s an awesome moment, but it’s also hugely bittersweet. And it also would’ve never been possible without a whole buttload of people working behind the scenes to bring Katy and Daemon to you.

First and foremost, none of this would’ve been possible without Liz Pelletier. Like seriously. It was she who asked me on the day I turned in another book if I had ever considered writing about aliens in high school. I had laughed and said no, because for real, aliens in high school? But then I thought about it, came up with Katy and then Daemon, and then the rest was Luxen history. So thank you.

I also wanted to thank the team at Entangled Teen and Macmillan—editors, publicists, assistants, and everyone who had a hand in the series over the years. Thank you to my agent of awesome, Kevan Lyon, and to my foreign rights agents Rebecca Mancini and Taryn Fagerness, to my film agent Brandy Rivers, and to my publicists KP Simmon, Deb Shapiro, and Heather Riccio.

Another huge thank-you to Nancy Holder for providing a wonderful blurb for Opal and to Wendy Higgins for doing the same. To Laura Kaye, Molly McAdams, Sophie Jordan, thank you for helping me procrastinate for hours. The same thing goes for Tiffany Snow, Jen Fisher, Damaris Cardinali, Lesa Rodrigues, Dawn Ransom, and Tiffany King for answering the phone when I call, probably even when they don’t want to. And I can’t forget to thank Vi for allowing me to borrow her kid for events, and Jena Freeth for being willing to run around at events for me and buy books.

Stacey Morgan—you rock. You know this, even if you and technology will never get along.

There are so many more people I would like to thank—the bloggers/reviewers who supported the series from day one. You guys have a piece of my heart always. And every reader who picked up any of my books, thank you.

Thank you for taking this journey with me.
