I came to The School looking for a reset - somewhere quiet enough to disappear. For a moment, it almost felt possible. But the calm was only an illusion. Students vanish. Lights flicker even when the power is steady. Whispers slip through the halls saying my name like they've been waiting for me. And every time the shadows shift, they shift toward her. Bruce watches the corners like he's bracing for something he's already survived. Bilton hides jealousy behind sharp smiles, clinging to me in ways that feel more desperate than cruel. But Kairaness... she looks at me like she already knows she's the one The School wants - like she's afraid she'll disappear the second I look away. I don't know why she's being targeted. I don't know why the building circles her like a predator choosing its prey. But something inside me reacts every time she flinches - something fierce, instinctive, protective in a way that scares me. It feels like a part of me I didn't know existed wakes up when she's in danger. I didn't come here to save anyone. Yet now survival means keeping Bruce steady when the shadows move, keeping Bilton from unraveling, and keeping Kairaness alive long enough for all of us to escape - even if it means becoming someone I never planned to be. Because once The School decides you belong to it, it doesn't just hold on. It chooses. It hunts. And it wants her. And whatever's waking up inside me refuses to let it take her.

Blade expected quiet trails and cold mountain air when he arrived at Shadow Hollow. Instead, the forest greets him like a living thing-breathing, listening, waiting. The trees lean too close. The shadows move with intention. And the silence feels like something holding its breath. On their first night, Blade wakes to an old woman hanging upside‑down outside his window, her smile stretched too wide, her eyes fixed on him like she's choosing him. By morning, the Hollow gives him something else: a girl in a crystal‑blue dress lying unconscious among the roots, as if the forest placed her there on purpose. Chrysalis is strange, soft‑spoken, and terrified of something she refuses to name. Saving her feels right. Keeping her close feels dangerous. Because the creature hunting them doesn't stalk like an animal. It selects. It studies. It hungers. As Blade, his father, and Chrysalis try to escape the shapeshifter that wears human faces like borrowed skin, the Hollow twists around their every step-warping light, bending sound, and pulling them deeper into its dreamlike nightmare. And somewhere in that darkness, Blade and Chrysalis form a bond sharp enough to cut through fear... or lure the creature closer. Shadow Hollow is a predatory paranormal New Adult horror about a forest that chooses its prey, a creature that never stops watching, and the dangerous connection between two strangers who were never meant to survive it.

Based on the hit WEBTOON comic by Ingrid Ochoa, The Kiss Bet follows Sara Lin on her quest to experience her first kiss. Told from multiple points of view, including Sara's and three boys, The Kiss Bet shows that life-and love-can be messy and complicated, but it sure can be fun. Read it on WEBTOON, Wattpad, or get the full published version adapted by Farrah Penn in book stores today! *** It's senior year and Sara Lin just turned eighteen. She's got great friends, a cool dad (or so he thinks), and a whole lot ahead of her. She understands that her first kiss is a rite of passage, one that she takes very seriously, even if everyone around her doesn't. She wants it to be special-true love's kiss-and wants to fall for someone she really cares about, not just get it over with. Then her best friend Patrick challenges Sara to a bet that will either lead to love or heartbreak. Or maybe embarrassment? Maybe all three. And the more he teases her, the more she wants to prove him wrong . . . that maybe her first kiss can be memorable and special and fun and life changing.
