Moving on is hard. Especially now that Amaya knows her family's dirty little secret, that her manga artist father Hideo Ego's horror creations are more fact than fiction. Now she can't seem to shake the nightmares. Or the ghost of a certain murdered girl. But as Amaya's relationship with her crush Kenji blossoms, the truth from Ego-san himself just might give her the courage to tell Kenji her true feelings before it's too late. Now a sinister force hell bent on revenge has other plans, and will stop at nothing to ensure she never gets the chance.

Moving is hard. A new country. New house. New school. On top of all that, Amaya Ego's new friends seem to be more interested in her dad, a famous manga artist. Horror manga to be exact. But when popular student Miyako goes missing, all eyes are really on Amaya's family, and not in a good way. Now it seems like one of Ego-san's old mangas is coming to life, and Amaya just might be one of its victims. *Wattpad Featured Horror Story **Winner, Teen Fiction Awards hosted by @youngadultreads ***Winner, Best Fiction, Anime Book Awards 2017

Once upon a time, a cat fell in love with an ambitious man.

Nightingale is human - or would be, had it not been for the manner of her creation. Genetically engineered and grown to adulthood in a lab, she was created, not born. Why? For the sole purpose of the entertainment of rich men as one of the many Inamoratas in the bordello business . Beautiful, elegant, a superb dancer and an even better singer, she is the perfect lover for any man. Perfect, that is, except for her personality - the one thing you can't engineer.

Here we go again, sticking our heads in the sand.
