[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]

Especially not from the jerk next door. Seventeen-year-old Dani Parker can't be more excited to graduate and get out of the hellhole poor excuse of a town she lives in. With enough family drama to land her a role on a reality TV series, Dani is more than ready to leave everything behind. Her plans to lay low and enjoy the rest of her senior year take a turn when she gets new neighbours. Meet James Hastings. Ridiculously intelligent, brooding, moody, and harbouring his own baggage, the last person he expects to befriend is the obnoxious girl next door. After being forced to spend more time together, Dani tries to make the most of the situation while James wants nothing to do with her. James pushes Dani to her limits while Dani forces James to see the more positive side of situations. Through navigating their own personal troubles and turmoils, the two realize there's a thin line between love and hate. BOOK 1: COMPLETED [word count: 100,000-110,000 words] BOOK 2: ONGOING
