Teenage Vampyrs, Enchanteds, and Shapeshifters join the Otherworlder Academy to train to fight off a demon horde and save the Otherworlder realm. Welcome to the rewrite of The Otherworlders! (This is v2 version, which explains the odd read to vote ratio, btw) :-) Anyway! If you're new, just a little info: ★ MY READERS LOVE ★ - Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Miraculous Ladybug, KOTLC, Teen Wolf, and Warrior Cats. If you love those stories, you'll love "The Otherworlders" too! ****** THE STORY: Forced to call a truce to the Shadow Wars and set their prejudice aside, Vampyrs, Enchanteds, and Shapeshifters create the Otherworlder Integrated Academy. Nine students are chosen, three from each race, to train under Headmaster Pierce and his staff. But this is no ordinary school. No. These students are training to fight an encroaching demon horde while hunting down a magical tablet that could save the Otherworlder realm from destruction. "The Otherworlders" is filled with supernatural threats, magical powers, complex and layered storylines, and adorable yet complicated characters readers absolutely love! ****** [[Wattys Winner]] [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

"It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all." Sid Litman will be the the first one to tell you that this cliche is bullshit. After her mom left when she was eleven, Sid's been a member of a support group for kids with divorced parents. She met her two best friends in the group, but she's also heard countless tales of marriages falling apart, and she's come to believe the town is cursed. No love can last here, and nothing is worth having unless it will last forever. But, she's a senior in high school, and change is on the horizon. With only a few months left before she leaves for college (if she can even commit to a college), a good thing happens at the worst time; she and the new boy start falling for each other. Her best friends are excited for her, but she's afraid of starting something doomed to end once the new school year starts. Not to mention, her mom has just come back into her life, and she's terrified that going to different colleges will drive a wedge between her and her friends, who have been a makeshift family for the past six years. A story about reluctantly growing up, the families we forge, and learning that ephemerality doesn't negate worth.
