At school, Joey doesn't acknowledge his brother, at home and in the past they are inseparable with the excuses from Joey tolling up over time. His isolation and other emotions are expressed through his art. The two seventeen year olds are connected in their different forms of art in a teenage story filled with drama, sarcasm and loads of creativity.

Scientist Benedict Lee thought animal testing was overrated, so he turned to humans. Experimenting on seven young individuals for three years, Benedict Lee has finally been caught, or rather, has revealed himself to the world about his inhumane endeavors. He goes on air and tells the United States about his special seven test subjects, and the powers he has created in them. With the East and West side of America on the verge of war, both sides want to use these subjects for their own good. Seventeen-year-old Malakai, otherwise known as Subject Zero, is among the seven of Benedict's subjects, and holds a special and secret power that the world would soon kill for-or be killed by. Rosalyn is from a family of wealth, power, and fortune, who also happens to be the daughter of the Vice President of the East Capitol. It is them who soon takes Malakai into their hands and tries to discover his abilities. And it is Rosalyn who grows curious about Subject Zero. Little do they know, his powers would be a great threat that could change everything. ------ COVER: @fiona_bauer Highest Rankings: #5 in Dystopian #3 in MagicalRealism #1 in Subject

*MERMAN ROMANCE* Moving from the warm beaches of Oahu to the rocky shores of Monterey, California was supposed to be a fresh start for college graduate Leilani Ono. However, as she starts working for the esteemed genetics laboratory hidden along the chilly California coast, she realizes that her attempt at escaping her past has actually thrown her deep into a web of convoluted lies, mad scientists, and the horrors of human experimentation. ~*~ Gripped with panic, I turned away only to come face to face with the very thing I tried to run from. I gasped, stumbling back. Its face was shadowed, but I could still see the outline of its features. Illuminated by the reflection of the stars, I could see the sharp jawline and steely eyes that regarded me. A face that, even in the dark of night, was distinctly masculine. "Why are you here." A chilling voice seethed from the shadows. It was as cold as the night around us, with a slight hiss that was threatening enough to send my heart racing even faster. ~*~ #1 in EXPERIMENT #1 in MERPEOPLE #1 in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1 in OCEAN The second book in the Species Unknown series. Can easily be read as a stand-alone novel but I recommend reading Book 1: Aves first for more context. *COMPLETED*
