Magic chooses everyone. Everyone... except Valentina Starling. At Arcana Academy, power is everything. Without magic, Valentina has spent her life being mocked, underestimated, and forgotten. The only thing more dangerous than being powerless is drawing the attention of the academy's most feared student. Valerius Draven is ruthless, untouchable, and destined for greatness. He should hate everything Valentina represents. She should stay as far away from him as possible. Instead, fate keeps throwing them together. With every stolen glance, every heated argument, and every moment they're forced to stand side by side, the line between hatred and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But as ancient secrets awaken and a forgotten darkness threatens the academy, Valentina realizes she's at the center of a mystery that could change everything. Some destinies are written in magic. Others are written in fire.

With a cruel ranking system, only favored concubines had the honor of meeting with His Majesty. And only the woman able to bear him a child could become empress. Raine Stjorme had climbed the ranks to the top. And after praying each night, she was finally with child. Yet all this was rewarded with the cruelest of fates. Murdered by the man she loved, Raine cursed Emperor Sylvos with her dying breath. She cursed his whole court as they snickered at her final moments. And her curse had taken root. Now, Raine awakens three years before her destined death, on the fateful day she first encounters the emperor. Armed with this second chance, she vows to make him fall - and to bring his empire down with him.

Tamora Killian. A name once whispered in fear - a ghost in the shadows. Torn from her past by a brutal attack that left her scarred and alone, Tamora was forged in pain and fury. Taken in by the White Maw, an elite order of merciless hunters, she was shaped into a weapon - the deadliest they had ever created. For years, she served in silence, stalking monsters and men alike. But a rising war stirs the embers of her buried past. New enemies threaten everything she's built... and force her to rise once more - not as a hunter, but as a power of her own. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Tamora must confront the truth about who she is - and who she was meant to become.

Ten days? You have ten days left to live, but in those ten days, you have to act like you're dating him. What type of situation is that? A messed up one. Petty secrets... Incumbent lies... Weird, right? You don't even know this guy and, quite frankly, you're scared to death. It almost seems like fate is tempting you, slowly luring you into a black hole of what your life will soon be. But what will happen if Jeff seems to slowly attach himself to you? Will his protective actions be enough to keep away those dirty secrets and lies that are locked away in the barricades of his mind? Some lies may just be a cover, and some truths may lead to others, but there is an even bigger picture that you may not be alive to paint. Your life is about to turn into a nightmare. How many days will you last? (The reader is identified as female in this story. However, this does not mean other gender identities cannot read this.) -+- *1st Place in Jeff the Killer 2015 Summer Creepypasta Awards (@Creepypasta_Awards)* *1st Place in Creepy/Evil/Supernatural 2015 Summer xReader FanFiction Awards (@FanFiction_Awards)* *#210 in Fanfiction* -+- First book in the Killer Romance Series. (Jeff the Killer x Reader) I don't own Jeff the Killer and I don't own you. Most of the characters presented in this book do not belong to me. Picture used in the cover isn't mine. Credit to the creator. -+- 2023 UPDATE: I wrote this story almost 10 years ago when I was a teenager. Reading back through it now, I can see so many things I wish I wrote differently. So many things that I find just... cringy. It's one of the reasons I cannot complete the series. I really wish that one day I'll rewrite this entire thing to be more sensible. For now, I hope that you can enjoy what gave me so much joy as a teen. Thank you to everyone who has come back to leave such nice comments after so many years. I will return to writing one day.

This book is and always will be my child. The first good thing I ever set my mind to. However, now all you'll see are short stories that need to be *heavily* edited. I'm aware. You know what they say. Don't knock It till you try it. This book is in need of heavy editing, I was like 12 when I wrote wrote this .

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
