It's hard to believe that a boy who didn't believe in love and a boy who didn't believe he could love himself would have much to learn from each other.

Then, as the situation rapidly devolves, Elias and Vinnie get paired together for an english project, and Elias's entire life becomes a whole series of highly stressful events with Vinnie staunchly wedged right at the center of absolutely fucking everything. After all, Vinnie Madden is a god damned sun, and his presence is so all consuming that eventually, all Elias can do is sit back, bask in the glow and try not to get fucking sunburnt. [NOW COMPLETE]

BOOK THREE OF SIX IN THE ANGELS AND DEVILS SERIES -- KAI BELLAMY I had one mission. Find my brother when I turned eighteen. But it didn't work out. My plans changed. Everything changed. I'm still searching for him, but I have brothers and Angels to look out for, too. Especially one particular Angel. My Angel. Arlo. We have one thing in common. Dex. My best friend since we were in diapers. He's also... Arlo's dead twin brother. Dex's addiction took him over. Just like he always predicted. I tried so hard to save him. Arlo, too. But now, we both have a piece of ourselves missing. And Arlo's piece is bigger than mine. He lost his twin. His pride and joy. His everything.

My brother. Noah. And it knocks my brain onto the right track. Arlo is mine, and I'll stop at nothing to make him as such.
