[FINALE to Killer Protector (JTK) and Cruel & Blue (EJ)] Reese Montemayor-Jones has been through his fair share of rough roads. Coming from an abusive home wasn't easy, and not having friends certainly doesn't do much. But he's a humble seventeen-year-old-despite his sarcastic and jaded personality-and only relies on his mother, older brother, and his boss for companionship. Well, things change when a special blonde-haired, elfin wraith happens to take an interest in the delinquent, human boy. With curiosity comes discovery; with peace comes chaos, and with love comes burning hatred. All of these things, Ben and Reese endure. Their bond is growing ever more complicated as time goes by. Unfortunately, evil is patient for no one, especially not with the new "Lord of Chaos" taking the reins. Things are changing, and the stakes are higher. Reese and Ben both fight with their lives in a war that could either leave humanity alive or dying out for good. But, there is one problem... They're on opposite sides.

Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.
