Haunting Adeline by HD Carlton

The Manipulator: I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don’t affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He’s always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow: I didn’t mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can’t stay away. I’m mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the ways she moves. The way she undresses. I’ll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine and once she is, I’ll never let her go…

You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

Everyone knew bestselling novelist Cassandra Tipp had twice got away with murder. Even her family were convinced of her guilt. So when she disappears, leaving only a long letter behind, they can but suspect that her conscience finally killed her.

But the letter is not what anyone expected. It tells two chilling, darkly disturbing stories. One is a story of bloody nights and magical gifts, of children lost to the woods, of husbands made from twigs and feathers and bones . . .

Green Rider by Kristen Britain

Green Rider by Kristen Britain

On her long journey home from school after a fight that will surely lead to her expulsion, Karigan G’ladheon ponders her future as she trudges through the immense forest called Green Cloak.

Be My Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy 

Be My Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy

Cross one, cross all. That’s the Brayshaw way. She should have realized this before sliding into our world with secrets too big to bury. She didn’t and now the target is on her back. The day her lies came crashing down, I should have forced her out. Instead, I locked her in, and with the promise, I would never be hers. I resisted, fought against us. I caved. I tasted what became my newfound favourite flavour and fell hard for the little liar. But then the depth of her treachery reveals itself, and with it a reminder. Our town is a twisted place, and… Read more.

Reign of Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy 

Reign of Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy

“Trust only those who earn it.”

A sentiment I follow without direction but holds more consequence than ever before. One decision, five lives, three futures. This is what’s at stake. One night, one choice, four broken Brayshaws. That is where we’re headed. Unless I stop it. I 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to stop it. I have to remind him of what he’s chosen to forget. My town. My choice. 𝘔𝘺 ending.

Trouble at Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy 

Trouble at Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy

No words whispered in anger have ever rung more true. They’re the Kings of Brayshaw with the world at their feet, destined for greatness and in need of control. I’m the girl from the ghetto with nothing to offer and as defiant as they come. They say it doesn’t matter, that I’m one of them now, and nothing could ever change that. Not even me, should I dare try. But they’re wrong. They underestimate how far I’ll go to protect them. Trouble is coming…and they have no idea.

Boys of Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy 

Boys of Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy

Those were the exact words of my social worker when she dropped me in my newest hellhole, a place for “troubled teens”. I didn’t listen, and now I’m on their radar. They expect me to play along in their games of hierarchy, to fall in line in the social order they’ve deemed me fit. Too bad for them, I don’t follow rules. Too bad for me, they’re determined to make sure I do. Inconceivably attractive and treated like kings…these are the boys of Brayshaw High. And I’m the girl who got in their way.
