"Everyday he'd show up, and I'd watch from afar; I'd admire his beautiful features or the ring that hugged his bottom lip; the way he'd sit by himself and stare at his drink; and most importantly, I'd watch the way his green eyes screamed in sadness and surrender every time they met mine" (Book #1 of the Lifeless series) {Declaimer: the second book in the series, Asha, is NOT a sequel of this one. They are completely different stories :) } #535 in Teen Fiction #41 in Poetry #22 in Deep

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows?
