Some people don't stay dead. Some love stories don't stay buried. And some girls will do anything to bring their boys back. JJ Maybank was everything to Mara-best friend, twin flame, almost lover. And when he died, a piece of her did too. But grief does strange things. It whispers. It twists. And sometimes, it brings the dead home. Now JJ is back. Changed. Crowned. Haunted. And the past he left behind is clawing its way to the surface. This time, Mara won't lose him. Not even if it kills her. ***I can not stress enough that JJ will NOT die in this book, no matter how much it seems like it-HE IS NOT DYING***

JJ Maybank wasn't looking for help. Not with the long hours at the garage, not with raising a five-year-old on his own, and definitely not from a Kook girl with big eyes and a voice too soft for her own good. But when Briella "Bambi" Martin shows up to babysit his daughter, everything starts to shift. Elise adores her. JJ trusts her more than he should. And Briella... she's trying to give a little girl the kind of love she never got growing up. She's sunshine with bruised edges. He's a storm learning how to soften. Neither of them plan on getting attached. Until JJ finds himself standing between her and the world without thinking. Until the line between babysitter and something more begins to blur by accident.

He's the only one she's not allowed to have. The enemy. The nemesis. But when a single mistake costs the strength of their rivalry, he can't seem to leave her alone. Sharp-witted, competitive and confident. Jersey Maverick is the last person Rafe should be obsessed with, but he's more similar to his enemy than he thinks. When new feelings come to play in their ongoing conflict, he won't be able to get her out of his head. Impulsive, reckless and aggressive. Rafe Cameron is the forbidden fruit. A kook. Not someone that should be living in Jersey's already-busy mind. She's been warned by her friends, by her family and by everyone on the island with common sense not to get too close to him. But the heart wants what it wants.

Sophomore year at The Kook Academy is supposed to be easy. But it isn't-for you. You're Y/N Carrera. Kiara's younger sister. But completely opposite of her. She's confident, smart, fearless in a way you're not. No matter how hard you try, you always feel like you're a step behind her-at school, at home, everywhere. At least you have your boyfriend Rafe Cameron. He's a senior now. Protective. Possessive. But over the summer, something shifted between you two-his jealousy sharper, his rules stricter. "Don't talk to Pogues. Don't even look at them" Not ever. John B is the only exception, and only because of Sarah. So you stay where you're told. You play the part. The good Kook who tries. The perfect girlfriend. Until one night, you don't. One rebellious decision pulls you into a world you were never meant to touch-and right into the path of JJ Maybank. And once you cross that line, your Kook Year starts to unravel. ⚠️This story mentions/talks about attempted SA however it is stopped before it happens.

A touron that had more blunts than she cares to admit, not to mention a handful of xannys, ends up sleeping with the one and only JJ Maybank who was drowning his own sorrows in a bottle of painfully cheap tequila. After ignoring the glaring issue, which included the symptoms like a lack of period, sore tits and throwing up any food within a mile radius of her, for a few weeks Ottilie Moreau takes a test -- the test -- and it may be the only test she's ever taken were a positive is a negative.
