Carter Parrish lived a happy, simple life with his mom, and knowing she had found her way back to love was the best news he could have ever received. But love leads to marriage, and marriage brought him a new stepfather, a new house, six new stepbrothers and one especially obnoxious stepsister. When the place he is meant to call home starts to feel like a test to his good-will and patience, Carter needs an escape. He might find just that where he least expects it, after meeting a smart boy with a snarky sense of humor and a secret he doesn't seem to good at hiding, who just so happens to be his football coach's son. Somebody said "change is inevitable, growth is optional". Carter just wished they had left a footnote about how hard it can be. *STORY CONTAINS MULTIMEDIA*

New York is the city that never sleeps. Yet few realize it is also home to those that have lived alongside humanity for centuries, hidden in plain sight, and to the society that has vowed to keep it that way. Joe wants nothing more than to solve the murder of a beloved professor. Dahlia needs to stop the investigation before it uncovers something far worse. Alek longs to see the sun again after spending 300 years buried beneath the city. When these three strangers collide, they must decide if a truth centuries in the making is worth the destruction of what they hold most dear: themselves. *** This story contains strong language, explicit depictions of sexual interactions (including male-to-male), and other mature themes such as violence, abuse, rape, and mentions of self-harm/suicide. *** Previously known as Think no Evil. *** (cover art does not belong to me)
