We all have someone we never speak of. Someone who meant so much, that even hearing their name makes your soul tremble with memories... ~~~ Jasmine Bryant is your typical teenager. She is well known for being a straight A student and still very beautiful with wavy brown hair and hazel eyes. You might think of her as perfect with girls wishing to be her and handsome guys wanting to be with her, but that is not the case. Her friends can be counted on one hand, she has no handsome boyfriend (and wishes to have none at the moment) and is faced with daily highschool problems. It's just that we always have that one person or group who people envy for just being themselves. Even with all that, Jasmine is always grateful for everything that happens in her life and for all the people who still have a place in there. But one day, curiosity gets the best of her and she decides to try and meet friends off the internet. Her goal is to be sociable and enlarge her circle of friends but what happens when she meets Elijah Sanders? A guy she feels she had known her entire life...

~~~~~~~~~~~~ The razed streets were abandoned by everything but the wind and its echoes. Crouching with my back against the wall, I fired a warning as I saw a figure edge around the corner. They darted back with an exclamation and then I saw a head peer back around. I shot again, this time aiming closer. The person yelled again, but this time, my name. "Rose you fool! It's us!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rebellion failed. We lost many of our people and one of our leaders. She was only 17; she was my sister.

The first person in history to be born and raised in the coldest place on earth, Antarctica, Deneige Blanchet has never been outdoors in warm temperatures. For sixteen years, her mother-a brilliant but eccentric scientist-has kept her isolated from the world in an abandoned research station on the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Deneige has never set foot on a grassy lawn or seen real-life trees or animals before, or worn summer clothes and felt hot sunlight on her skin, or listened to the sounds of busy streets or music or a handsome young man's whispers. But all of that is about to change . . . Tragic circumstances force Deneige to leave her icy home and travel far north to a strange and sun-scorched land called California. There she meets her father for the first time, as well as two siblings and a stepmom-a family who Deneige has no clue how to relate to. The climate is too hot, the cities are too crowded, and high school is too cruel for a pretty, naive teenager whose whole life has been spent sheltered from all social scenes. Like an alien, Deneige feels out of place among her peers, and practically marooned in a landscape that's so otherworldly to her that it seems like a new planet altogether. Worse, no one understands the nature of her mother's secret research, or the blood-chilling experiments that she conducted on her only daughter. There's something different about Deneige. Can she ever truly belong in a world she's never been a part of? Or is she doomed to cold and endless loneliness? Beautiful, unique, and delicately crafted, Of Snow will fall gently on your heart and your imagination.

The first semester in Oxford has already started. Balancing between studying to become a lawyer and life in general, Julia Eden has found herself sitting across from a shrink, or in better words: a psychologist. It only gets worse when the old man says that she is indeed depressed. Now Julia is closemouthed and the good doctor just wants to know which hole she is in, so that he can pull her out of it. According to her, all of it started last summer, when she was expelled from Brighton Marina and brought back to Hampstead, to live with her dysfunctional family. She goes on to tell the doctor about about the difficulties her friends and her had gone through for love and family, her involvement with Noah Clarke, who could practically run for Jesus and the elegant quick-witted law student Neal Williams, her constant struggle with cocaine and fitting in with her family after her brother Robert's death. Now, the good doctor says it didn't really start last Summer after all. Would Julia be ready to face the truth about all her demons, mingling with all the other demons her friends and family had abandoned? Or, would those demons stay in the closet, smelling of drama, drugs, alcohol, embarrassment, broken hearts & teen spirit? Follow these unforgettable characters and how they grow up to something tolerable.
