Being 'a bit genuinely psychic', school loner Ash knows that something's amiss when a boy's death is hurriedly written off as suicide. After the departed victim collides with the ground directly before his feet, he’s convinced that Hawthorne Academy has seen its first murder. It's just up to Ash to prove it. Andrew Godfrey is the boy of his dreams, although not by his choice. For the past year and three months, the pair of them have been having the same dreams together, where they both spend the night as superheroes. Neither can explain this psychic connection, and neither of them particularly enjoys it. So far, there doesn’t seem to be anything either of them can do about it. With a real life crime at hand, however, Ash knows that Andrew is the only one who will believe his psychic gut reaction, and so asks for help in solving the mystery. (Cover by the wonderful Ashihara)

'By now Cessa doesn't know what she's doing. Her actions are fuelled by a pulsing, uncontrollable anger, her movements controlled by burning hatred. Power surges through her veins, her skin crackles with electricity and she feels as if every cell in her body is alight. In her right hand she holds a glistening, glowing ball of fire. There is a change in the air, the presence of raw power, as beautiful as a star, as deadly as a sword and as ancient as the earth itself. Burns cover her hands and the flames lick at her arms but she is oblivious to the pain, blinded by rage. She doesn't even stop to think for a second, she hurls the blazing fire and the inferno she created engulfs him. The orange flames dance and flicker until he is no more than dust, ash and ember.' Her father thought the potion would destroy her magic, but magic that wild and strong can not be subdued forever. Cessa has a secret. A secret she doesn't even know herself.

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.
