He's mythologically hot, a little bit wicked, almost 100% immortal. And he'll hit you right in the heart . . . --- Lila Black doesn't believe in matchmaking, let alone soul mates.

He shouldn't have a match. And while he's irresistibly hot, he's also incredibly dangerous. Because Lila's true love match is Cupid. The original bad boy of love. And he wants her. Now Lila's once-normal teenaged world has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows that cause no end of trouble, and a mischievous, not-so-angelic love god she can't seem to stop herself from falling for . . .

"I feel more than infinite with you." When Adrian died, Annara, a student library assistant, began hearing ghostly voices. Later in life, she meets Wicker, who resembles him, and this changes everything, making her realize that those strange voices were all in her head while revealing some of her secrets; that Adrian did not die the way everyone thought he'd be. *** Mula pagkabata, hanggang sa sila ay tumanda, hahawakan ni Annara ang pangakong binitawan sa kanya ni Adrian; na magsasama sila habangbuhay at siya lang ang tangi nitong mamahalin. They were so in love and so young. She used to write him letters, he always reserved a seat for her, and they both enjoy doing things that excite them. Annara's heart and soul were torn apart when Adrian died in a tragic accident when she was young. She begins hearing odd mystical voices in sorrow from him-voices she couldn't comprehend, as if all noises were emanating from beneath the ground. Some may find it distracting and unpleasant, but she finds it terrifying and intrusive. And then Wicker appeared, who resembled the man she had previously fallen in love with and poured her dearest affection into. He had a striking resemblance to Adrian. Parang pinagbiyak na bunga ang katangian at hitsura nila. He happened and changed everything. Nang dumating ang lalaking ito sa buhay niya, nanumbalik ang lahat ng alaala niya para kay Adrian.

You may hear different sounds everywhere, every day. But it is somehow unsettling if you could hear strange voices of the dead.
