Pagka-transfer ng isang bad boy sa school nila, ibinigay nito ang panandaliang 'pagtakas' sa kanya nang hindi umaalis. Ngunit, nang tanggihan niya ang offer nitong tuluyang tumakbo, ang desisyon niya ang humadlang sa sana ay masaya nilang magiging buhay. Sa muling pagtatagpo, nag-iba na ang lalaking nakilala niya at mula sa innocent love ay iba na rin ang nais nito. Mao-overcome kaya ni Mari Solei ang pagbabago at paikot-ikot nilang dalawa kung sa bawat paglapit nila sa isa't isa ay kinasisira niya, nito, at ng mga tao sa kanilang paligid?

Sabi nila, pag nag bilang ka raw ng siyam na bituin sa loob ng siyam na araw at sinabi mo ang hiling mo, magkakatotoo raw ito. Ang hirap maniwala sa mga pamahiin na 'yan, pero wala naman masama kung susubukan 'di ba? Malay natin magkatotoo ang hiling ko na sana....magustuhan mo rin ako.

Kung sex lang ang habol ng mga ito, then sex lang ang ibibigay niya and nothing else. That view in life molded the woman she is today until she sets her sights on her handsome ethics professor, Sir Marco, who brushes off sexual innuendos and flirtations. As her frustration of proving her point turns into deeper, warm, and fuzzy feelings, hindi mapigilan ni Sinteya na ibaling ang tukso sa isa pang forbidden conquest, a more willing victim . . . because she believes that forbidden acts are the most pleasurable.

She can see the future, her name is Jill Morie. They are Peculiars, they exist. And this is their tale. ***** Jill Morie, the girl who can see the future, never wants her power and believes that every event in the universe is already determined. Until one day, she decided to interfere with fate to compensate for her guilt. And this is the beginning of her quest. She then discovered that there are other beings like her who have exceptional abilities and a secret organization called 'Memoire' who hunts them down. -- THE PECULIARS' TALE (Wattys 2015 Winner) Genre: Scifi, Action, Young Adult, Mystery-Thriller Status: Completed
