"I admit to being a very SICK and TWISTED person." Sadie and Levi Olivers are the closest pair of siblings that anyone has ever seen. Abandoned as toddlers and forced to live in foster home after merciless foster home, they will do anything to keep each other safe and happy. All they really want, though, is for Levi's eighteenth birthday to come around so they can legally get away and forget their miserable childhoods. The night of the special day, though, Sadie receives a phone call under Levi's caller ID. All she can hear is the screaming of her older brother and a villainous voice telling her to find her parents or she'll never see Levi again. The only problem is that she doesn't know who or where they are. She doesn't know what to do. She feels lost without her brother's guidance. Within the chaos, though, she meets Theo, a wealthy, charming boy who just so happens to be in the same situation as she is. His older sister went missing just hours before Levi's known disappearance, and he's just as scared as Sadie is. As Sadie and Theo's search begins, everything quickly spins out of control. Anything is possible and no one can be trusted. To what extremes will they go to bring back their brother and sister? © valarie rae, two thousand and fourteen. action #8 // mystery-thriller #8 amazing cover by serenay (@paradoxe)

"Stay away from him, not only is he danger but he's the Master. He will either make you or break you, but the way that Zebastian looks at you is unusual for Wonderland." Sasha said as she let the water trickle down her chocolate legs. "What do you mean?" Vera asked innocently. "Zebastian is one of the men we warned you about, he dangerous, out of control, and more powerful than everyone combined here." Nina said fanning herself. "He's got his sights on you, so he's planning something: either to kill you, or to kidnap you and make you his. Master won't let that happen, especially since he's taken a liking to you." "Not to mention Xephren." Janet said. Vera just frowned. "What should I do?" She asked. "What we do best." Nina said looking at her. "Seduce."
