"There would be no point," Beatrice added, "what chance could a demon have against an Ambercroft?" The candles flickered and the wind fell dead. The darkness smiled as the shadows whispered near Beatrice's ear: "I accept that challenge." * * * It has been fourteen years since Beatrice, Lady Ambercroft, unintentionally challenged a demon to a contest where she must find and destroy him. The prize is her brother Kyrian's life. Unaware of his sister's mission, Kyrian has just come back from his studies to announce his intention of leaving the family business: demon hunting. If the Council withdraws their protection it will be that much harder for Beatrice to keep her brother alive. Time is running out and, the trap is closing in, will Beatrice win the contest? Or will the Ambercroft promise be broken? Coming Soon: Summer 2017! Original cover design copyrighted by and property of Sid_irshad.

She will do anything to avoid becoming her uncle's GPP (Grandchild-Production-Plant)... ...even break into a stranger's car. A really hot, really pissed off stranger's car.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
