[Soon by WATTPAD BOOKS] In the prestigious race of stars, Sozo must hide the truth of who she is or pay with her life, but her blossoming relationship with the most talented competitor threatens everything she's worked for. ***** Every ten years, the lucky chosen bond with stars and race to win a wish. Any wish. Sozo is one of the lucky chosen, but she has a secret: as an Omen -- cursed beings that can transform into monsters -- she's forbidden from competing. Discovery would mean her death. Can she hope to keep her identity a secret, let alone win the race, especially as the talented and sunny Naqi enters the picture? When Sozo is given an ultimatum, she has to choose: betray her Omen people, or betray the people who are slowly, surely, becoming like a family to her. --- WATTYS AWARD 2020 "Bar none, this was [Senior Editorial Specialist] Amanda's absolute favourite read from the Wattys this year. It makes you cry, just from pure, uncontainable joy, and the ending kept us reading until nearly 6am. Everything about this story is beautiful. We were astounded that anyone could create something so magnificent and moving and magical. This level of storytelling mastery will never not blow us away." [Word Count: 70,500]

Delia receives the death dates of every person she meets. There has only ever been one exception: George Warner, the guy she hoped to never see again. *** Cordelia Wright has an uncanny ability: she receives the death dates of every person she meets. Things take an even stranger turn when she receives her own death date, a date that is only months in the future. Delia's life is arranged in routine - it's predictable, comfortable and she likes it that way. But her death date seems to surface everything she carefully buried. Her mom's mental health is teetering, her best friend is moving forward in life, and she is realizing her boyfriend may not know her at all. Everything is sent overboard when Warner, the guy from her past she hoped to never seen again, returns, and with him, the painful reminder that he is unlike anyone she's ever met: he doesn't have a death date. Will Delia let the fear of death stop her from living? *** tags: enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, new adult, young adult, military

Alejandro Molina is perfect on the outside; he's the smart, gorgeous, and wealthy child of a famous supermodel. All of his many flaws are inside of him instead, where no one can see them until it's too late. His life is marked by roaring highs and echoing lows, both of which went unexplained until this summer-when he was diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder. With this information and a moving van full of baggage, he's ready to flee to Stanford so his worst traits and biggest insecurities can no longer haunt his life. Jordan Dawson has been Alejandro's other half since they were born-albeit a whiter, richer, and meaner one. Held like a puppet on strings by the centuries-old wealth of his family, he once found refuge in Lillian, the love of his life. Until she disappeared, that is. Two years after their last summer together, he's still picking up the pieces with another chip on his shoulder: the fact that he might love Alejandro as more than a friend now-and the fact that it will never happen. He applies to Stanford and follows his best friend to the other side of the country, but what he finds there presses reset on more than one of his relationships...in more than one way. Lillian Bennett has spent the last two years on the California coast with her family, putting herself back together after a suicide attempt and the biggest adjustment of her life. Her identity revolves around her ambition and smarts, so who will she become when a random accident sets off a chain reaction that she can't control, or even notice? Why is her ex-lover Jordan at Stanford? And why is her childhood rival Alejandro being so nice to her after years of ignoring her existence? She doesn't want either of them, right? Right? Keyframe revolves around the lives of three teenagers toeing the line between childhood and adulthood, testing their intelligence, and learning when to keep trying or to move on. Their lives are intertwined now-and they were before they even knew it themselves.
