As part of The {Teen} Book Scene's blog tour for WITCH EYES by Scott Tracey, I have MC (= main, magical character) Braden here to answer some this or that questions. Read on for the 101 on Braden!
1.
[center of attention] vs. [fading into normalcy] Fading into normalcy. My life could stand to get a little more
normal. Actually, a lot more normal. Can
I get that normal super-sized?
2.
[black & white] vs. [grey]. Black
& white. Things are either right, or
they're wrong. Right?
3. [sunshine] vs. [rain] Rain. I like rain. It's moody.
4. [early morning] vs. [late evening] Late evening. It's too bright in the morning, and people are too chipper.
5. [love] vs. [logic] Love. I mean...come on. That's obvious.
6. [failing] vs. [never trying] Failing. My uncle always gives me some sports lecture about how you have to try, or you won't make a basket or something. I played dodge ball once...I'm good.
7. [doing things right] vs. [doing the right thing] -- which is more important: Doing the right thing. Always.
8. [chocolate] vs. [vanilla]: Vanilla gets a bad rap. It's awesome.
9. [Ghostbusters] vs. [Mythbusters]: Ghostbusters. All your problems get sucked away into a tiny little box. Doesn't that sound great?
10. [unicorns] vs. [mermaids]: Unicorns. I mean....c'mon.
11. [the boy next door] vs. [the mysterious bad boy]: Bad boys are overrated. The boy next door. It's just convenient.
12. [the end] vs. [a new beginning]: A new beginning. Because sometimes, it's the best thing you could ever do. Then again, sometimes new beginnings take you to Belle Dam...

Summary:
Seventeen-year-old Braden was born with witch eyes. He has the ability to see the world as it truly is: a blinding explosion of memories, anguish, darkness, and magic. The power enables Braden to see through spells and lies, but it comes at the cost of horrible pain.
After a terrifying vision reveals imminent danger for the uncle who raised and instructed him, Braden is lured to Belle Dam, an old city divided by two feuding witch dynasties. Rival family heads Catherine Lansing and Jason Thorpe are desperate to use Braden’s powers to unlock Belle Dam’s secrets, but Braden refuses to become their sacrificial pawn. His resolve is tested when he learns that Jason is his father—and that Trey, the enigmatic guy he’s attracted to, is Catherine’s son.
To stop an insidious dark magic from consuming the town, Braden must master his gift—even if the effort destroys him.
