Salvation doesn't always come in the form of a person. Not for Carrie White, it doesn't. Not when you've got telekinesis and an insane mother. When New York City's Oscorp releases an initiative to provide a new and improved curriculum to small towns around America, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, makes that list. The town is sent supplies, and the kids of Ewen High learn smarter. That's the idea. But what happens when you send fate disguised as technology to a town that holds a girl with trauma and telekinesis?

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

October 30DC GOLD - Sticker Coming Soon! Rule #1 of lying low at Kingsmore University: Don't flirt with the hockey captain. Don't make eye contact. And definitely don't get into a fake relationship with him. Honestly, just avoid him entirely. Too bad Aaron Varenko doesn't do subtle. And for the record, I don't do relationships. But the moment our eyes locked that first day on campus, the plot twist started writing itself. I was hoping to be a side character, preferably one who stays out of trouble and off-page. Too late. But, when a certain psycho from my past turns up, Aaron makes me an offer I couldn't refuse: "Let him think you're mine and he won't touch you." Totally logical right?🙄 The problem? He's a little too good at pretending. And I'm a little too good at forgetting it's not real. Now the lines are blurring and the secrets I worked so hard to bury are coming back to life. And Aaron might be the only person who can save me...or completely break me.

She's bone chilling, she's mysterious, she, 5'3 lives like all humans do... But mentally, she saved you from the fate that is about to come to Cityville. She lives immortally to savor the flavor of her characters' wildest dreams.

Rated-R: {Read the Author's Note For More Information} Two gay villains. Not just wicked smokers and immature characters, no. They were more on the inside. Twisted geniuses, yes-but not mindless monsters. Stanley Stickman and Pop weren't chaotic for fun; they had purpose, strategy, and one deadly clue about who their enemies really were. And Cityville?

But then? Chaos paid with vials. A controlled masterpiece shattered like glass when those two transformed, not into a funny predicament, but into something far more dangerous: Attractive.

Fangs glinting under streetlights, Pasts screaming around them like omens... fear and obsession radiating off everyone else because suddenly? The sassiest ladies in town could destroy you without blinking. A break out rumor raining over Sawyer and Decan to crack their X-rated relationship in one day... No laughter here now.
