(The Forgotten Passages Book Two) After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to the parties, galas, and benefits, used to keeping secrets, and used to the dangers my life with the Brotherhood of Time brought me. It's been two months - two months since Drake Garner came back into my life after four years of silence, two months since he trusted me with the secrets he kept, two months since we started our own adventure his great-grandparents had gone on before us...but only two weeks since that adventure came to a halt when one of my best friends was dumped at our doorstep, broken, unconscious, and bleeding. It wasn't just Drake's reappearance that changed everything. Vince Peters was set on getting his hands on me, but there was no way it was happening. Not only could I protect myself, but I had the strength of the Brotherhood and the Knights behind me. He thought he could break me by hurting those I love, but he didn't know what was coming for him. Because I was and there was no stopping me. But some secrets are meant to stay hidden...even when you become one yourself.

Watty Finalist: Mystery/Thriller, On the Rise I see him vividly in my head. Him. The guy who calls himself A for whatever reason. The guy dressed in a black cloak with a hood that makes his face look like an endless sea of darkness. The guy whose voice is like velvet; so smooth; yet so deep and dark it sends chills down my spine every time he speaks. The guy whose simple words and actions are enough to send my heart into a frenzy. The guy whose black-as-night eyes captivate me day and night. The guy who enjoys teasing me and making me angry, like it's one of his new hobbies. The guy who has the power to make my legs turn to jelly in an instant. The guy whose past is so deep, dark, and bottled up that it scares me. The guy who spends most of his time stalking me; visiting me at night. The guy whose arms hold me so tight and securely. The guy who evokes feelings in me that honestly scare the hell out of me. But he's not just a guy. He's a criminal. The criminal that calls me cupcake.

"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top." When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse. A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.
