Valentina Fairbourne is new to teaching in this high school. Bigger pay, smaller classes. What could go wrong? Virtually nothing. But what about one student? Can things remain professional between the two? Strictly teacher and student? [THERE ARE ERRORS in this book! So many errors & they will get fixed soon enough. I just write for fun & none of it is professional. Please beware of these before you read further!]

Ether La Rue non ha mai desiderato una vita fuori dall'ordinario, eppure il suo ingresso forzato nella più spietata accademia per assassini la catapulta in un mondo fatto di sangue, segreti e sopravvivenza. Qui, fidarsi è un lusso che pochi possono permettersi, e ogni errore può essere fatale. Tra compagni segnati da cicatrici profonde, alleanze instabili e prove letali, Ether scoprirà che il passato è un'ombra da cui non si può fuggire e che il suo destino è intrecciato a una verità che potrebbe distruggerla. Intrappolata in un gioco pericoloso, tra passioni brucianti, tradimenti e omicidi, dovrà scegliere chi essere: cacciatrice o preda. Perché alla Deadly Arts Academy sopravvivere non è un'opzione. È l'unica regola. 🩸 𝕯𝖆𝖗𝖐 𝕽𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖈𝖊. 🔞 𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖊 𝖘𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖊 𝖘𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖚𝖆𝖑𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖊 𝖊𝖕𝖑𝖎𝖈𝖎𝖙𝖊.

A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in a fresh start. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected comfort of friendship, unconditional love of found family, and a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again." "I would give everything, especially my soul, to have the opportunity to read this book for the first time again." ────── CW: Substance abuse, harsh language, sexual content, mention of self-harm and suicide. ────── Started in January 2018.
