My name is Tide. I'd love to say hi and all, but if I tell you my location two very bad things could happen. First, someone who isn't really on my list of favorite people might find the information. Then, they would hunt us down and try to use our powers to take over the world and other maniacal things. Yeah, not so fun. However, I'd like it if people knew how things really happened. You may see things on the news, and they may sound bad, but trust me, this is the real story. Because I'm an Elemental. And somebody needs to set the record straight.* [Action #101] [Fantasy #2] :: cover credit goes to the lovely ATXNNA :: *heyo so this book is pretty old, some (a lot of) spelling mistakes, some (a lot of) plot holes, but if you're looking for some fast paced action and some sarcasm and some cliche romance you should honestly just go to the second book but yeah, this has got that, just with, you know, the glaring faults in the story line. Just a warning.

Jade Jackson is not what you call a typical teenager. She hates the world and most things in it. Although she could spend the whole day with her friends laughing and pranking each other she can't live without drawing. Drawing is the only thing that helps her escape from reality. Not that she doesn't doze off in general. She has troubles of her own, such as anger management issues, occasional bipolar disorder, that make her feel like an outsider. Drew Walker is the second most popular boy in his school. His dark aura attracts people, but scares most away. His past haunts him and no one can relate. No one truly understands him. His differences with the rest of the teenagers make him feel like he doesn't belong. What happens when Jade's drawings appear in Drew's hands? Well, two odds make one even. Maybe being odd isn't so bad after all. Cover by me. All rights reserved. Copyright © 2013 Dandiloo

"Chris?", Vanessa huffed. "Yeah?" "I-I think.... I think I'm ready." All Chris did was smirk and kiss her. His arms snaked around Vanessa's waist, pulling her on his lap. He's been waiting for the moment when Vanessa would finally want him to be her first. She may not be his first, but he knew, from the moment she walked into Tale Hills High School, that he wanted her to be with him. He laid her on the bed and kissed her neck. He managed to slowly remove their clothes without ruining the romantic moment. Her loud moans turned him on as they did it over and over again, savoring the new feeling of sparks between them. It was the best moment for them. It was the perfect moment in Vanessa and Chris' nerdy romance.

Sixteen-year-old Pippa Greene never goes anywhere without her camera. She and her best friend/supermodel-in-training Dace long ago mapped out their life plan: Pippa will be the noted fashion photographer, and Dace the cover girl. But ever since last spring, things have changed for Pippa — and her junior year at Spalding High proves to have its own set of challenges. Not only is Vantage Point, the statewide photography competition, in three short weeks, but her mandatory volunteer placement lands her at St. Christopher’s Hospital, a place Pippa never wanted to set foot in again. With humour and pluck, she navigates her new role as a candy striper (watch out for Code Yellows), her changing relationship with her best friend (goodbye Honesty Pact), and — perhaps most stressful of all — her new love interests (yes, love interests plural). Will Pippa make it to Vantage Point without having a panic attack? Will either one of the guys prove less sketchy than her last boyfriend? Can she and Dace figure out a way to dream big and be best friends? One thing is certain: real life is a lot more complicated than a photograph. New chapter updates every Wednesday!

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.
