In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan

In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan

The Borderlands aren’t like anywhere else. Don’t try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border—unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and—best of all as far as Elliot is concerned—mermaids.

Elliot? Who’s Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years old. He’s smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip.. Read more.

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.
