"𝓒𝓪𝓷 𝔀𝓮 𝓯𝓲𝔁 𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓫𝓮𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝔀𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓬𝓽?" Multipotentialite, yet overly insecure, bashful, and socially naïve; Reagan Dike is a music and graffiti-art loving 18 year old living fairly in Kumase - a relatively small and peaceful community controlled subtly by a behind-the-curtain, autocratic hand. However, life sails in a different direction when changes emerge and Reagan bears witness to something horrific that throws the lives of him and his mother upon rocky grounds. A few years later. The city of Lagos. Reagan is a different person - a young man destroyed by psychological trauma and heartbreak, and lost in a world where he least believed he'd dwell. What happens when he runs into an enemy from his not-so-forgotten past, and she's the last person in the entire world he'd ever want to have something to do with? He decides to play with fire when he accepts the invitation for a talk in The Harvest, and since they'd ruined his life this much, he decides it was about time he paid back in kind. An eye for and eye - a dangerous dance in the court of love, hate, and deceit, risking a change of heart that will lead to his life being in imminent danger. What happens when his trust is broken by all the people he's placed his bet on? With her being the only person left in his life - his last hope to escape death; is he willing to let his guard down and risk it another rendition of the toxic nostalgia that has been glued to his mind for the past 4 years?

Phoebe L. Kuro was born with a fate that has made her live in constant agony. She has been beaten by the world, broken into several pieces, and drained of all hope of a peaceful life. However, things are starting to look better after her newly acquired scholarship to Excel High, the school of the elite. It is an opportunity that makes it seem like life has finally decided to bring luck her way. Excel High now seems like a sanctuary from her pain, where she imagines spending her final year in secondary school in the peace that she always desired. Little does she know just how dirty Fate plays his games and how hard he laughs as he ushers her into the golden gates of Excel High and watches with amusement as she walks right into the destiny that awaits her. It is the start of a new session and a year unlike the previous one, as there has never been one like it in the history of Excel High. All it takes is the coming of the new student for lightning to repeatedly strike the hearts of those who reside within and outside the walls of Excel High. Truths are unfolded, new identities are discovered, new mysteries are found, and questions rise with every passing day. New bonds are formed and old ones are broken, and desire and passion burn wildly like necked flames as destinies, like stems, are twisted together until completely intertwined. Something strange is happening, something that will forever change the lives of all who bear witness to these events. Blind eyes are beginning to open and senses are awakening as the gates of the supernatural open up, and reveals to us a world that has been kept secret up until the day Phoebe came.

"I don't care what your heart feels. All I need is your body. You heart can do whatever it wants." This is not your typical Disney romance. The hero in this story is fucked up, possessive, controlling and from the excerpt above, you can see he is a tad bit unusual. This book also contains some sex scenes. If you are not a fan of this type of book, then stop right here. But if you are like me and you love a bad boy, let's ride together. I promise you will love it. Please don't forget to vote this story. Also comment, comment and comment. COMMENT!! ❤️ adetayo_first.

{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction
