[A psychological thriller] When you can't even pay for a bottle of water, you might want a friend like Casper. This may be hard considering he's the God-given prophet of Seabrook high; the type of kid who offers existential philosophies on a Monday and spews poetry the next. Friends are a select few for Casper, and Holden doesn't have the right kind of luck for a golden ticket. But he isn't worried. After all, to win the heart of a prophet, all you need is intelligence. And intelligence is all he's got. Cover credit: Photo by Martin Stranka. Design by toska_. Trailer Credit: Clips from Xavier Dolan films. Made by me.

Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall?

When Bree meets Daniel, a young man with dangerous connections and a penchant for taking in strays, including her, she finds it hard to move on. But the secret she hides risks doing more than driving them apart. It might just turn them into enemies. There's also Tristan, a boy with secrets of his own-secrets that help Eve. As her strength grows and Bree struggles to keep up, the two girls are pitted against each other in a battle over the body they share. And with the Trackers closer than ever to finding them, there's a chance neither of them will make it out alive.
