Elder Benson is dead. He had a gift of taking pictures in a surreal manner and didn't care people thought he was strange. When his body is found with a bluish substance in his system, everyone concludes that he overdosed on drugs. And no one cares really. After all, he was the weird guy. Except for his two best friends, Malachi and Simi. Malachi believes there's no way Elder would do drugs and Simi knows that her oldest friend was the gentlest soul she knew. When they find a photobook of Elder's, they discover dangerous secrets captured in the photos Elder took. Any of which could have led to his death. Together, they piece together the puzzles left by Elder in his photobook to find his killer before they strike again. cover by @TahliePurvis 1st Place Winner Mystery/Thriller World of Champions Awards, 2nd Edition

***BOOK ONE IN THE "OUR EVOLUTION" SERIES*** Life has offered on-the-run Christina Grey a series of bad events, and in another attempt to flee from the roots of her past, she moves into the small town of Eastwood, hoping to just pass by and not stir trouble. Hope's a bitch - and so are far-away dreams. Small towns carry big secrets, and with Christina's twisted luck, she stumbles upon a bunch of people with almost as much skeletons in their closets as hers. And if that's not complicated enough, sparks start flying between her and a certain green-eyed supposed mystery boy with a chip on his shoulder. Not to mention, Christina's not the only one with a story to tell. Follow "Run and Hide" and find out what happens when thrill, action and romance collide in a slow buildup, and watch as the characters' stories fold open as secrets unravel, one by one. Like a clock ticking. Or more like a time bomb. * Quotes between chapters are based off/inspired by/copied from Pinterest so they're not always mine to take credit for. So are all the songs/music featured in the book. But all the character aesthetics and mood-boards and covers are my own work unless listed differently, so give credit if you use. * -> Trigger warning (mental health (!!), etc...) -> strong language (!)

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.

Book #3 Lauren is back, and the small town of Oakwood reels into a near-psychosis. In the dead of a harsh winter, mutants struggle to come to terms with reality; NIO is always watching, closing in slowly but surely. A sentence is pending over Riley and Luc's heads. It's up to them to figure out how to save their friends and keep the dangers at bay, but the walls are shrinking with a force neither can stop. The force of time. This pursuit of freedom has already cost them innocent lives, but more sacrifices will have to be made. //temporary summary until I come up with better// sorry// My challenge will be pacing. It is a longer book and a slow-burn in terms of events. I wouldn't say it's dragging, but as a first draft, some things may not be 100% well-adjusted. Do expect new developments, a darker tone, and obviously grief throughout the whole narrative. This book's ending might ruin your emotions a tad. It's probably the darkest ending I've ever plotted yet. TRIGGER WARNING: yet another character will be showing some disturbing behavior. It revolves around violence, self-harm and suicide. It's not said outright but rather one action they will do will reflect heavily on it. Be aware, and again, my goal is not to write about such things but rather to use them as tools for my characters. This issue portrayed in Book 3 will not last the whole plot like with Emma in the second. It'll be a quicker, sneakier one.
