To everyone else, Kaliyah Johnson had a life worth envying. A loyal boyfriend. Loving parents. Friends who adored her. A place at Black Mountain Academy, where every species was supposed to belong. From the outside, everything looked perfect. Behind closed doors, Kaliyah was barely holding herself together. Between softball, school pressure, family expectations, and the secrets she kept buried, perfection felt more like a performance than a life. Then he showed up. Quiet. Younger. Mysterious. She barely noticed him at first. But by senior year, his presence became impossible to ignore. There was something in his eyes, something in the silence between his words, that saw straight through her. The closer he gets, the more Kaliyah's carefully built life begins to crack. Secrets surface. Loyalties blur. Old wounds reopen. He's a risk she shouldn't take. But some gravity can't be escaped. -- ‼️ UPDATES WILL BE INCONSISTENT‼️ A Young Adult Fantasy Novel by @writeyspidey- None of the photos used in this book belong to me.
