LOGLINES Melting in Chocolate: Take Two!!

So I’m late. Somehow I missed the ‘three day revision’ part of Steen’s Logline Blogfest. I’ve deleted and postponed my original post for today and am laying down the hammer on my logline.

I'm posting a two sentence and a one sentence. I worked on these while sitting in two separate doctor's offices for about four hours this morning. Phew...my daughter finally got her foot cast off and is now in a boot. Yay!! Still no foot pressure but at least she can take a shower. LOL

I plan on writing a post on my procedure (and using all I learned from all of you on Monday), for coming up with these later. I'd really love your input. Thank you! 

Two sentences:
When tomboy Anastasia's hidden empathic abilities flare after sharing a vision with the haughty boy at her new prep school, she vows to prove him a fraud. Her stubborn search and odd attraction to him lure her into his curse, and unless she can accept her abilities and trust him, she will lose her mind and never understand their mutual salvation lies hidden in the last beat of her heart.

One sentence:
When tomboy Anastasia's despised empathic abilities intensify after sharing a vision with a boy she suspects isn't human, she ignites his curse but also his lifeless heart -- if she fails to accept her abilities and trust him, she will never understand their mutual salvation lies hidden in the last beat of her heart. 

(I owe this one to my awesome friend Dianne S. If you're not following her you should be.)
Don't forget to check out some of the other writer's edited loglines through Mr. Linky on Chocolate Reality!!


(Steena, looks like I'm using my one-liner. Thank you, again!)

LOGLINES Melting in Chocolate

Today, over on Chocolate Reality, Steena Holmes is hosting a Logline Blogfest!! I happened upon it the other day and thought Sure, I'll participate. What's the harm?


Miss Snark is having a fangtastic contest in December, which encompasses, yes...the dreaded logline. She's been offering critiques of loglines over the past few months in preparation for December. However, so many folks emailed to partake in those initial critiques that many were left out.

So Steena, in her awesomeness, decided to host this blogfest to help the rest of us out. I'm pasting three different versions of my logline below and am open to your critiques. The differences are quite subtle but there. Feel free to tell me what strikes you most, what you don't like, and/or the elements you feel work best together.

I'd love it if you'd take a gander over to her blog, too. She has links to other writers who are participating.

Thanks in advance!!
#1 ~ A sixteen-year-old tenacious tomboy must break an immortal curse, saving a preppie boy, before she literally loses her mind: her only alternative is death.
#2 ~ A sixteen-year-old tenacious tomboy must break an immortal curse to save a preppie boy before she loses her mind; accepting who she is may be her ultimate test.
#3 ~ A sixteen-year-old tenacious tomboy must break an immortal curse to save a preppie boy and keep her sanity; accepting who she is may be her ultimate test.
