First love

It all started with a volleyball to the face freshman year and a beautiful, awkward, and unlikely friendship was born. He's popular, she's an outsider. He's star quarterback, she's drum major. He can get a girl with just a smile, she struggles to get any attention from the opposite sex. His friends don't understand it, her friends are secretly hoping that they will date. For Ben and Andrea life has been an unpredictable roller coaster. It was decided for them that when they entered high school certain people would be your friends and others would view you as an outsider of their clique. That all changed one day in the gym when during a volleyball game Ben spiked the ball and it hit Andrea right square in the face, and ever since then they have been inseparable. Whether it's pulling pranks, Andrea getting Ben out of some girl trouble, Andrea helping Ben study for a test so he doesn't fail, Ben making sure Andrea has a life or sneaking out at night to go on wild adventures, life for their friends and families has never been dull. But what happens if one or maybe even both of them start to have feelings for the other? This fun-filled story will make you laugh, cry, scream, or sigh from the wild antics that will arise from The Unlikely Friendship. Copyright: All Rights Reserved

The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with rapids, holding suspense to last page."- Kirkus Review ======================= Grace has lived in the Smoky Mountains all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he's dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him. One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father. Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she's enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it's going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.

"The night is totally black, now, except for the guardian light of the street lamps. No one is out besides me. I fold my arms, missing my army jacket's warmth, and head home quickly. It's dangerous to be out at night. But I don't run. If you run in Rimwick, something chases you." There are two rules in the small town of Rimwick: 1. Don't be different. 2. Don't go outside after dark. Riley Fey broke both the rules. And breaking rules in Rimwick doesn't mean you get grounded; it means you might end up dead. Dead is not a situation Riley wants to be in, even though everyone at school hates her, her dad is MIA, and her mother is the town witch. But when a wolf shows up at Riley's door and takes her to a dangerous land outside her town, "dead" begins to seem a whole lot more likely. #6 in Fantasy A Wattpad Feature Novel Promoted by Goosebumps movie Winner of the HQ Wattys Award Nominated for The People's Choice Award
