Origin story to the Family Comes First series by Mason Fitzgibbon. The Wilcox family's horrifying and twisted traditions all began in 1873. Joseph: After the death of their parents, Joseph's younger brother announces he is leaving the farm and moving his family to New York City. Joseph is overcome with betrayal and is terrified that the Wilcox family will disappear. His son, Miles, is the only one to carry on the family name. The only problem is that Miles has always been...different. His odd behavior made him the scapegoat for the church fire a few years ago, and now, no one nearby will associate with the family. When Joseph meets Maisie, at a tavern, he realizes what he must do to ensure the survival of the Wilcox family. Maisie: Having a family was always a dream for Maisie. Her own family was full of abuse and abandonment. She only had her grandmother to rely on, but after her death, she was trapped in hell. Desperate for money, she begins selling herself to the men at the local tavern. She has a series of regulars that take turns tormenting her each night. When Joseph walks into the tavern, she sees a potential new customer. Completely unaware of his sinister plans, she leaves with him, not knowing that her life will never be the same. She finally gets a family, but at what cost? *This story can be read as a standalone *Thank you to @iamrodneyvsmith for the amazing cover

"I'll break you, Spring. I'll fucking break you. Mark my words." *** Spring Cruz is your typical A plus student. There's nothing special about her. Sanay siyang dinadaan-daanan lang at hindi pinag-uukulan ng pansin. Inaasahan niyang ganoon din ang mangyayari sa college life niya sa Helios University. Ang unibersidad na pinangarap niyang pasukan dahil sa pangakong pinaniniwalaan niya mula noong bata pa siya. Pero sadya nga yatang nang magsabog ng kamalasan ay tila bukas-palad niyang nasalo iyon.

When Sophie Swan moves to Forks with her younger sister Bella for her final year of high school, she expects rain, quiet days, and being seen only as the new girl. She does not expect Emmett Cullen. Emmett is impossible to ignore. He is warm when he should be distant, playful when he should not care, and protective in ways Sophie cannot explain. One moment he draws her in, the next he pulls away, leaving her with more questions than answers. From the beginning, Sophie feels a pull toward him she cannot name, something steady and inescapable, like gravity itself. The closer they grow, the heavier it becomes. Forks is full of secrets, and Emmett Cullen is one of them. Sophie is determined to uncover the truth, even if it means stepping into a world she never meant to be part of. Some forces are stronger than choice. Some connections cannot be escaped. Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or its characters.

Everyone in Forks expected Bella Swan's arrival to be the big news-no one saw Aria coming. Aria Swan, Bella's younger half-sister, is a whirlwind of emotions, sarcasm, and spontaneous decisions. After being expelled from yet another school, she's sent to Forks to live with Charlie and start over. But Aria doesn't do "quiet," and she certainly doesn't do "normal." Then she meets Dr. Carlisle Cullen-calm, composed, and impossibly kind. He's everything she's not... and everything she can't stop thinking about. For Carlisle, Aria is like a fire he didn't know he'd been cold without-reckless, bright, and achingly human. As Aria stumbles deeper into the secrets of Forks and the supernatural world, her chaotic energy both disrupts and captivates the centuries-old vampire. But falling for her would mean risking everything he's built-including the safety of his family. In a town where danger is always one heartbeat away, can a love between a storm and a statue survive?

Luna Marlowe is known for three things at Forks High: her unnerving brilliance, her refusal to shut up in the face of authority, and the time she brought a snake to the emergency room and told a surgeon to fix it. At seventeen, Luna is strange, sharp, and impossible to pin down - the kind of girl who quotes Sylvia Plath in math class and hides her grief beneath sarcasm and combat boots. After losing her sister, Luna stopped trying to fit into the world around her. She started noticing the cracks in it instead. The flickers in the mirror. The way time skips sometimes when certain people walk by. When she meets Dr. Carlisle Cullen - calm, impossibly kind, and far too composed for someone who looks barely older than her - she's drawn in, fast and dangerously. There's something not quite human about him. Something familiar. Like he's a question she's been asking her whole life. As Luna digs deeper, she uncovers secrets far older than Forks - about the Cullens, about herself, about her sisters fate. And the more she learns, the more impossible it becomes to pretend she's just a girl with a dead sister and a sharp tongue.
