In a city filled with corrupt government systems and underlying threats, Grace Summerland can’t accept the fact that the mysterious ‘Night Vigilante’ is as bad as everyone makes him out to be, not when he has the same eyes as the boy who saved her ten years ago. All of Grace’s life has been made up of lies, ranging from her father’s disappearance to the night she almost died, and Grace is all too willing to risk it all in an attempt to finally know the truth. Agreeing to betray the son of the most powerful man in Citadel, Grace doesn’t even know half of what she is getting herself into with all the secrecy surrounding her family and her connection to the Vigilante and Citadel. The only things she knows for sure after walking home to find the notorious Night Vigilante bleeding and asking for her help, is that it’s going to take more than a few stiches to get this town “Villain” back on his feet- Especially since she seems to be the one doing all the falling. ~*~ Cole Waters is the Night Vigilante. Adopted into an elite faction called the Vigilantes, Cole embraces the idea of selfless bravery, and courage found in humility. What he finds though is that it’s a lot harder to be selfless when he can’t seem to leave the mysterious girl he saved years ago. Careening faster into the web of Citadel corruption, Vigilante deception and the fierce desire for a girl he can never have, Cole finds himself being deemed as the “Villain” of the city when all he wants to do is help. Being good was never easy to begin with, but being a ‘hero’ has never seemed to be as impossible as it has been until now- especially when falling in love with the girl means forsaking the selfless to embody the selfish. ~*~ Book soundtrack: http://8tracks.com/smarsbars157/the-night-vigilante Ranking: Action #86

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
