Kith never thought that her senior year of high school would be spent in a frat house, especially the frat house of her ex-best friend's, douchey, irresponsible older brother, Cameron. She'd fantasized about going to college since middle school, but not like this, not this early. She'd never planned on doing homework in a lounge that reeked of testosterone and beer while her new roommate partied until the stars went to sleep. Kith had never intended to be the source of drama in two very different schools either. Her senior year was supposed to consist of: hanging out with friends, doing tedious assignments, having a snowball fight during Winter Break, tanning during Spring Break, and rounding off her high school career with a creatively themed Prom. But none of that mattered; her plans didn't mean anything anymore. The phrase 'supposed to' was now an afterthought. Because things had gotten a little screwed up on the way to graduation. Deals with Mature Themes such as mentions of rape. Warning will be given beforehand.

Alongside her endearingly nerdy best friend Oscar, she decodes the riddle to find its meaning. Before she knows it, she and Oscar have embarked on a road trip to follow the riddle - and maybe even find her brother. But suddenly, they're thrown into a world of monsters and gods from Greek mythology. What the hell is happening? And could Nova have more power over her life - and the world - than she thinks?

✩ #17 in body positivity ✩ Holly needs a job. And some cash. That's how she ends up at Cafe by the Sea, hired by the assistant manager, Oliver, who's cute, annoying, and totally unattainable. She's not really looking to fall in love though - it's just that Oliver is a really nice distraction. And she also kind of can't - overprotective parents. She's technically not allowed to date until she's in college. And she's okay with that - Holly has friends, a good family, decent grades, an okay body (it could always be better though), and life is pretty smooth for her. But smooth isn't always best, as she discovers. Over the course of summer, Holly learns that there's a lot more to love than passionate kisses, you don't need a bikini to look good and feel good in the summer, and that the truth really does set you free. You just have to discover it. ⚠ TRIGGER WARNING; sensitive topics such as eating disorders & rape may be discussed. ⚠ Copyright © 2018 by Jin Ni // All Rights Reserved. ≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

Lacey Waits has gotten too comfortable appealing to the good natures of the spirits she can communicate with. See, these spirits, they breathe salt on the little sills and doorways to keep the evil out. But when she moves back to Iowa for the spring and a little Jane Doe asks for her help in bringing justice to her gruesome murder - and when Lacey subsequently denies her request - the restless spirits see no reason to stick around, allowing demons and ghouls with lesser-than-holy intentions to wreak havoc. Caught in constant danger, it's up to Lacey to get on the case of Jane Doe's death, rescue a childhood friend from a string of missing persons cases, and regain the good graces of the dead before she joins them at the hand of evil entities and water that just keeps on rising. *Previously featured on the @mystery profile* *Featured on @Paranormal's "Life After Death" reading list* *Featured on @Ghost's "Bustling Ghosts" reading list* *Featured on @crime's "Policing the Paranormal" reading list* *cover by cosettetapes*
