Book Two of Among The Ashes:Midterm Lies

Arden University is no ordinary school. Hidden deep in the mountains and built for the elite, it's a place of prestige, power-and whispers. Enter Nyx Reed. A freshman who looks more like she stumbled into campus by mistake-oversized hoodie, outdated phone, and eyes that never meet yours. Among the rich and polished, she's awkward, quiet, and clearly out of place. But for some reason... she's everywhere. In every fan club. In every encounter with the university's most admired (and off-limits) professors. In every rumor that seems to spark around her without warning. She says she's just trying to pass. Just another face in the crowd. But as eyes start turning her way-and shadows from the past begin to stir-it becomes clear: Some masks aren't just worn. They're lived.

Somewhere Series #3 Riley Rodriguez Completed:07/31/25 ( FEMX FEM) Ang kapangyarihan ng isang pamilya ay hindi nasusukat sa mga litratong nakikita sa media o headlines sa telebisyon. Siya ang pinakabatang gobernador ng Batangas at ang kauna-unahang babae sa posisyong 'yon. Ipinanganak siya para dito. Hinubog ng pangalan. Pinalakas ng impluwensya at dugo ng pamilya at pinatay ng mga lihim na kailanma'y hindi niya pinili. Riley Rodriguez was perfect for everyone...but never for herself. She hates her family for the secrets they buried and she hates herself for being one of them. Ngunit sa pagbabalik ng isang nakaraan na matagal na niyang tinakasan, at sa muling pagputok ng isang imbestigasyong maaaring gumiba sa lahat ng itinayo niya, wala siyang ibang pagpipilian kundi harapin ang katotohanan at ang sugat na iniwan ng isang pagmamahal na matagal na niyang isinuko. Sa pagitan ng tunay na hustisya, pangalan, pamilya, at damdaming pilit niyang binura... pipili siya. Sa pagpiling 'yon, may kailangang masaktan. Some stories were never meant to last. Some truths were never meant to stay hidden. Some hearts were meant to return to where they once loved, and shattered... SOMEWHERE WE FELL APART
