Currently editing. Things will be changed! Seventeen-year-old Mia Johnson has an uncanny talent for reading people. From the smallest details-a flicker of hesitation, a nervous habit-she can tell who someone is and what they want. It's a gift she's never taken seriously, more instinct than skill, until she meets Lucy Chen-a woman who offers Mia a place to stay and just happens to be a police officer. As trust slowly builds, Mia is drawn into a world where her abilities actually matter. Alongside her other gifted friends, she begins helping Lucy solve cases-cases that hit far too close to home. Including the murder of Mia's parents, a crime that went cold a year after their deaths. What Mia doesn't realize is that reopening the case puts far more at risk than answers. Especially when she brings her friends into it. As pieces fall into place, it becomes clear that her parents' murder was more than a simple break-in-and when the killer strikes again, the danger turns personal. Now trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Mia and her friends must rely on every ounce of their abilities to uncover the truth... and survive long enough to see it. cover: @moonsdxst.wp

Tim Bradford never planned on becoming anyone's backup plan, let alone a foster parent. But when a routine call puts him face-to-face with Odessa Sinclair-a sharp-tongued, guarded fifteen-year-old with nowhere to go-he finds himself breaking his own rules. Odessa has survived years of bouncing between homes, learning the hard way that trusting people never ends well. Tim isn't exactly warm, and he's definitely not asking for her trust. But in a house where silence speaks louder than arguments, they might both have to figure out what it really means to let someone stay. Found family isn't always clean. Sometimes, it's sarcastic, stubborn, and feels exactly like a liability.
