I didn't just hear things. They were voices. And I didn't just hear voices. I listened. Or at least I tried to. And they, whoever "they" were, were telling me that something was coming. Something big. Something... someone? • • • • • Faye Weatherly is a social outcast. Mostly because she's what people would call "weird", "creepy", and possibly every condescending synonym. If she had any friends, she would have lost them by now. She was just "too weird". But the way she saw it, she wasn't too weird. They were just too... normal to understand her. Too shallow, too narrow-minded, too... human-natured? With new additions to her acquaintance, and the voices leading her to increasingly life-threatening situations, not to mention her spiralling social life - or lack thereof, there's only one thing that would save her if it didn't kill her first, one thing that she could trust wholly. The voices in her mind. • • • • • ***not a Vampire or Werewolf story*** A paranormal mystery (hopefully) I'm not promising a happily-ever-after ending. • • • • • ***NOT EDITED OR PROOFREAD*** • • • • • Highest Ranking: 328 in Paranormal, 85 in #voices

Samuel Brandt woke up with his thoughts written all over his body. His brother woke up with his head missing. His sister woke up to find that her skin would crack open unless she stayed in water. All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life. He painfully and unpredictably sheds his skin, there is a Voice in the entryway closet that is often cruel, and-perhaps worst of all for a naturally shy boy-the other children look to him as a leader. As his seven-year-old brother struggles with their new life, as terrifying growls start to come from the pitch black basement, and as his feelings for a girl begin to grow, The Boy with Words for Skin realizes that he wants to change. He wants to put others first, learn from his peers, and let himself hope that things will get better. The Boy with Words for Skin is the first book in the 407 West Marshall Street series. Each book will advance the story but be told from a different character. Book 2 will be The Girl without Eyes.

(alternatively called: slow burn, second-hand embarrassment, and shenanigans) A girl made up of short fuses, clumsy feet and copious amounts of sarcasm has to team up with her irritatingly obnoxious neighbour in the name of love (also known as raging teenage hormones). Because in the grand scheme of things, what's a little deal with the devil? (Spoiler Alert: absolute chaos.) cover by xdemonsflowerx
