Evelyn Eaton is a disabled girl who desperately wants to be cured by the dystopian government that has taught her to hate being different. In the Commonwealth, perfection isn't an ideal. It's a requirement. In two weeks, Evelyn will receive the Cure-a procedure that promises to fix the one thing that makes her different. But when her brother receives a mysterious career assignment, Evelyn begins questioning everything she's been taught. Bram Anderson has epilepsy and is considered Unnatural. In the Commonwealth, being Unnatural means being something you were never supposed to be. Something the system can't categorize, correct, or control. Bram has learned to hide who he is, and is in fact thriving as one of the most important people in the Commonwealth. But Evelyn has spent her entire life trying to become exactly what the Commonwealth wants. Read their adventures as they uncover secrets, challenge the world they've been raised to trust, and discover what it truly means to be different. Maybe some things aren't meant to be Cured.

Frankie's trick has always been simple: watch everyone else closely enough, and nobody ever thinks to watch you. It works until an exam, when a note appears under his foot that was never meant to be an answer key. A name he doesn't know. Four words underneath it that he can't stop reading: He knows what happened. Frankie tells himself it's nothing. He's wrong. Within weeks, there's a torn page from his own notebook, stolen from a bag he never let out of his sight. A photograph of Frankie and his five closest friends, taken from an angle none of them noticed, stamped with one word: Vulnerable. Then a blackout traps all six of them inside a locked classroom, and a voice over the PA calmly announces that phase one is complete. Someone has been studying them. Watching which of them trusts too easily, which one fights, which one freezes. Someone who knows the school well enough to move through it unseen. Someone who knows things about Frankie's family that Frankie doesn't know himself. He's built his whole identity around being the quiet one in the back row, the boy who watches and writes everything down and never gets close enough to anyone to be hurt by it. That version of Frankie doesn't survive this book. Now the five people he's finally started to trust are in danger, and observation isn't enough to protect them. He'll have to step out from behind the notebook and become someone they can trust in return. But Frankie still doesn't know what happened, or why these six were chosen. And the more he searches for that answer, the more he begins to suspect that someone wants him looking in exactly the wrong direction. Book One: The Power of Silence, the first installment in The Enigmatic Mysteries of Frankie, is a YA mystery-thriller about secrets, surveillance, and what happens when the person who's always watching finally gets watched back.

Austin Lane-face card on point, charisma that would make a happily married woman question her marriage, an IQ that belonged only to geniuses, social status over the roof, money that could last generations.

Sylvia Casas is a med student with a reputation for being brilliant, terrifyingly focused, and emotionally unavailable on purpose. Love, in her experience, is just another way to get hurt--ask her late adoptive father, ALS, and a lifetime of regret she refuses to unpack. Matthew Ellis is hockey's golden boy: fast on the ice, faster with a smile, and dangerously good at getting under people's skin. His problem? A controlling, alcoholic mother who treats his future--and his love life--like it's hers to script. When a gas leak throws them together, Sylvia reads him like a diagnosis. Matthew reads her like a challenge. And somehow, between sarcastic remarks, heated glances, and way too much proximity, they start to blur the line between "absolutely not" and "what if?" But with toxic parents tightening their grip and hockey rivals circling the ice like trouble on skates, falling in love might be the dumbest--and most irresistible--play they could make. NOTE: One thing is sure. Either Matthew scores into your heart, or Sylvia diagnoses you with a dangerous case of reading addiction. 😉 WHAT-TO-EXPECT CHECKLIST: ✅ Slow-burn sports romance + sex scenes ✅ Enemies to lovers (red flag to green flag male character) ✅ Double POV style ✅ Adult issues: pain, use of alcohol, manipulative tendencies, sociopathic behaviors, illnesses and wounds, mention of suicide, mild violence, possibly cruel pranks ✅ Endless teasing sass + some humor ✅ Happy ending!
