Jenny Cartwright was the kind of girl everyone in Willow Creek claimed to love-sweet, helpful, always smiling. She was a straight-A student and part of the popular clique at Willow Creek High. But unlike the typical high school queen bee, Jenny never mocked or bullied anyone. She treated everyone with kindness, regardless of their background, social standing, or quirks. She had plenty of friends-and, as far as anyone knew, not a single enemy. But a week before junior prom, Jenny's body was found in a decaying alley on the edge of town-beaten, bruised, and horrifyingly mutilated. She'd been perfectly fine the day before. So what happened to her? Who could have done this-and why? Highest ranking: No# 1 in INVESTIGATION. #1 in SOLVE. #1 in SOLVING. #11 in DECEPTION. #1 in MURDER MYSTERY

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.

I didn't catch her to kill her. I caught her to keep her. They told me the siren was a monster. A bloodthirsty nightmare that took everything from me twenty-three years ago. So, I did what any sane man would do. I hunted her. I harpooned her. I dragged her out of the salt water and into my world. Now, she's in my house. She lives in a drained swimming pool, dry, cold, and entirely mine. To the scientists, she's a specimen. To the world, she's a myth. But to me? She's my wife. I put a ring on her finger and a hook in her life, and I'm never letting go. I don't want a "happily ever after." I don't want a healthy love. I want to watch her from the dark until she forgets what the ocean feels like. I want to be the only thing she sees when she opens her eyes. I want to break her wild spirit until the only thing left is her devotion to the man who stole her freedom. She thinks she's the predator. She hasn't realized yet that I've been a monster much longer than she has. She's not a guest. She's not a pet. She's MY SOUL. And I've always been very protective of what belongs to me.
