Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

When Lexi comes across a vintage lamp at an old thrift store in the middle of nowhere, she decides it would make the perfect addition to her growing antique collection. Upon polishing the artifact, she discovers that the legend is indeed true- genies do exist. So when Jinn, an attractive, albeit slightly grumpy and sarcastic young man appears out of nowhere claiming to grant her wishes, she’s taken by surprise. One cranky genie. One (relatively) innocent girl. Five wishes at her disposal. The consequences? Definitely unexpected. Maybe he’ll teach her to be more careful with what she wishes for? © Copyright 2014 101Huskies
