[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School.

In a world ruled by supernatural elites, The Academy of Sin is where power, privilege, and danger collide. Everyone knows the academy is no ordinary school-it's a proving ground for the strongest and most dangerous supernatural beings. But when Kaia Winters receives an invitation to attend, she discovers she isn't there to learn. She's there to survive. Kaia is part of a secret experiment, designed to harness the raw power of forbidden magic. Her abilities are rare and uncontrollable, and if the academy's leaders have their way, she'll either be the weapon that wins them the war-or the casualty that proves their theory wrong. Assigned to four powerful partners, each with their own dark agendas, Kaia must learn to navigate the treacherous halls of the academy. There's Alec, the brooding demon with a sinful grin and a taste for chaos. Gabriel, the angel whose icy exterior hides a burning rage. Ryder, the shapeshifter with a devil-may-care attitude and a knack for secrets. And Silas, the necromancer who sees more in the shadows than he lets on. But as Kaia unravels the mysteries of the academy, she discovers that her partners aren't just allies-they may be the only ones who can keep her alive. And as tensions rise, so does the temptation. Trusting them could cost her everything, but falling for them? That could be the deadliest sin of all.
