Born and raised to be one of the best trained assassins in the country, Isabella Amador is currently the most valuable member of the Calix: the secret organization targeting a list of corrupted criminals throughout America. So when a week before her eighteenth birthday she’s introduced to a new project, she doesn’t think twice about jumping into it right away. It’s just one among the many she’s already done, right? Wrong. This time it’s different. Much different. Because this time, she’s not targeting just one person like usual. She’s targeting an entire family. And as emotions get mixed in with work, things begin to get a lot more interesting. Not to mention dangerous.

In Contro City people disappearing or winding up dead was not out of the ordinary. One photograph in the newspaper made headlines and changed everything. A weeping dog standing over the corpse of his owner - a promising young boxer, has Contro's Finest on the hunt for a twisted predator. Paul Lantar is one busy young man - tending to his deceased grandmother's gardens, attempting to get along with siblings, starting a new relationship with Veena, working, going to church. The last thing he needs is to be haunted by a newspaper article. With police launching an investigation into a possible serial killer lurking around the shadows, Paul's mind is torn between dealing with his unquenchable thirst to end lives, survival, and a cunning church pastor who's intentions remain unclear. In order to remain hidden, Paul Lantar will do anything. No one is safe.

Plan A might have been just as dangerous as the police insisted it was safe. It involved being locked away, out of sight and communication, and didn't solve the problem that Fran's stalkers seemed to have access to police files and data. Plan B the police didn't know about, and while the stalkers were at least temporarily out of the picture, it posed other problems. The police are now searching for her. Her stalkers are still looking for her. Her roommate doesn't know she's not a boy and a depressed teen movie star wants to be her friend. Being found out would blow her safety. Not to mention that the country thinks she might just be the victim -- or the cause -- of a spate of murders in the surrounding towns. Going to Darkwood private school was a risk, but not as risky as Plan A. The worry of trying to keep herself hidden from her schoolmates might become her main problem, but it still doesn't answer the most worrying question of all: just who were those stalkers, and what did they want? -- (Just so you all know, I've entered this book for the Hotkey Young Writers Prize. It would mean the world to me if you could support Plan B by voting for the first chapter (only votes on the first chapter count) before September 13th and then encouraging as many people as possible to read and vote as well. Thank you all so much!)

Faith Mitchell was never confident. She was happy to blend into the background, much to the protest of her friends. At 16, her life was a normal teenage cliche. She was in love with Jace, the obnoxious player who she couldn't have, and her biggest worry was whether or not he would finally come to his senses and see that she really was the one for him. That is until she is kidnapped and recruited by a secret agency of assassins. She is torn away from her normal teenage life and thrown into a world of guns, knifes and criminals. The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on. Then, the agency has a new mission which involves Faith returning to her hometown, and facing her friends, family and the very boy who broke her heart just before it turned into stone. What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace? Will the obnoxious player be able to reach out and get the old Faith back without pressing any of her wrong buttons, considering that the shy girl he once knew now has a gun.
