Lily Morgan knew she was different, but that had nothing to do with her supernatural abilities. In a world of abnormal creatures she was an outcast.

Until a rainy day when her creature unleashes - the calm before a brutal war of a storm. Wolves catch her scent. Vampires crave her blood. Witches curl their magic in fear. Fairies tremble on fractured wings. For Lily Morgan, school was the least of her worries.

Laini Lewis is starting to lose it. Her mum has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, her dad is shutting her out of everything, people are constantly judging her for her older sister going off the rails, and the pressure of trying to live up to everyone's expectations is making her crack. The last thing she needs is to get involved with local pariah and bad boy, Kell Rhodes. Laini knows all the rumours - Kell is trouble with a capital T. But when a chance encounter throws Laini and Kell together, she discovers that Kell might be the one person who actually understands what she's going through. Kell is trying to leave his troubled past behind and become a better person, and when she's with him, Laini feels like she can be anyone, do anything. But Kell's past is never far behind, and Laini's quest to become a different person begins to take her down the dark path of drink and drugs that Kell is trying to escape. Both Kell and Laini are trying to discover who they really are, but the further Laini continues down this dark road, the more she begins to turn into someone that she doesn't like. Kell may be the only person in the world who truly understands her, but as Laini spirals downwards, she may be going into a place where even Kell can't reach her.

18 year old Florence Remy has three things that mean the world to her: Twizzlers, her best friends Ade and Clancy, and her parents' coffee shop the Espresso House in downtown Brooklyn, New York. As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy. The coffee shop may not bring in much, but it's enough to keep them on their feet. But what happens when a group of dangerous Brooklyn mobsters force Florence's parents into giving them co-ownership of the shop? Crime boss and leader Wolfe Sterling takes a great interest in the tunnels that lead past the Espresso House cellar. Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence. And it really doesn't help that he's hotter than freshly brewed coffee...
