*COMPLETED* (Y.O.L.O stands for: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE) *** Carter Jones, the school nerd, and Killian Henderson, the reputated troublemaker, somehow end up getting detention together. "How about we make a bet?" Offered Killian, his pistachio-green eyes drilling into mine as a playful smile lingered on his lips. "A bet?" I gulped, intimidated by how close he was sitting next to me. He nodded and raised four fingers, the ones with the letters "Y.O.L.O" tattooed on them, wriggling them in front of me with his ever-so-confident grin. "Four dares, Jones, just you and me." And that's how it all started. *** Rankings: #fiction #featured #queer #gay #depression #bl #youngadult #featured #comedy #bisexual #manxman #teen fiction #boyxboy #bxb #LGBT #romance Cover designed by Holly Thurston

It's 1939, and the world is at the precipice of war. But life for one young man in rural America couldn't be better. Jonathon Blackwell is the eldest son of the most powerful family in town and heir to Blackwell Iron and Mining. Unlike many who struggled to survive the final years of the Great Depression, he has everything he could ever want - except the one thing he desires most. Sheltered by class, privilege, and living inside a locked iron fence meant to protect him, no one could ever imagine anything terrible could happen to him, but dark times are coming. Fate is about to play it's cruel hand, and when it's all over, the world, the country, and young Jonathon will be changed forever. The much anticipated prequel to the 2014 Watty award winning and Wattpad featured story, The Boy in the Woods! This is Jonathon's story, and it just may break your heart... Best Ranking: Historical Fiction #4 Note: Even though this story takes place before events in The Boy in the Woods, it's intended to be read AFTER because it wraps up the last of the mysteries of that story. A gentle warning - many spoilers and much confusion lie ahead if you decide to start with this one. :)

Luca Fern has been a girl with a morbid fascination for disguises ever since a case of mistaken identity lead to her mother's murder. Moving to Bottle Island was supposed to heal her obsessive behaviours, but instead it has revealed a mystery that could swallow her whole. As tradition on the island, Altswood High School organizes an annual game called the Hunt: a thrill-seeking contest among peers of seek and eliminate. But this year, instead of an innocent paint pellet, players are being eliminated permanently with bullets to the head. The head investigator, Luca's own father, is stumped as the death toll increases. Soon Luca will be next, and if she cannot bring light to the hidden secrets within Altswood High's traditions, then she too will die in this twisted version of the Hunt.

There is a mansion in the middle of nowhere called Vendetta House, tasked with the sole purpose of taking in kids like Ariel: Cambions, the offspring of demons. The day that Ariel turns eighteen, she not only discovers her abilities as a Cambion, but she is taken to Vendetta House, kicking and screaming. Gifted with telekinesis, telepathy, and elemental control, demon-bloods are removed from society for their own good, or so Ariel is told. But Ariel has bigger problems than her hostage situation. An abandoned section of Vendetta House hosts hundreds of dead spirits, ghostly remnants that only Ariel and another strange boy can see. Since her arrival, the dead numbers have been rising, and coincidentally, kids within the House are going missing too. With the help of her new friends, Ariel must uncover the secrets of Vendetta House, or before they know it, they may just disappear too.

Cliché The thing that Jodie Black hate the most are clichés. She prefers jumping out the window, from the tenth floor than reading or watching a cliché book or movie. If Romeo and Juliet were true, she would be the evil villain that would shoot them straight to their hearts, before the story ends. That was one of the reasons to why almost all her friends are guys. Jodie never wished to change, even when Adam Harvey entered her life. Everyone called him 'the monster' for his looks, there were many rumors about him killing people, about him being a thief, and about him being an assassin. They were all just random rumors, rumors that Jodie never believed. But Jodie made a mistake. #27 in TeenFiction
