Days turn into boring routines in towns like Savor, Louisiana. That was until cunning and mischiveus Alec moved into town and swayed the heart of Addy White. It was a tale as old as Grease. However, this isn't their story. With Addy's attention being focused elsewhere, the schedule of Addy's best friend, Esther "Sadie" Wilson, is now freed up, leaving her forced to expand her social circle. While dealing with her parent's recent divorce and inevitable student loans, Sadie lands herself a job at Wall-E's Ice Skating Rink where she finds herself surrounded by an entirely new and chaotic crew of co-workers. This summer can't be any further from routine as Sadie tries to balance her rambunctious new friends, surf-n-turf wars of prissy figure skaters, quarreling parents, and even the attention from a new crush. *beautiful cover by soundthealarm*

"You started this-no, us, for revenge?" He sounded sad, distraught. Alyssa had never heard him like this before. "Well, yes. I knew you wouldn't like it so I didn't tell you but it's time to end it, so here we are." He took a few steps forward, standing exactly in front of her. She ignored the distance, keeping her eyes straight forward, chest level. "Okay, ma-maybe that's how it all started but didn't you feel anything for me in the time we were together?" He sounded hopeful. "I mean, we were pretty close." She scoffed, her eyes finally meeting his. A twinge of pain shot through her heart at the pleading in his gaze. "Do you think this is a movie, Theo? That I took my revenge and fell in love with you along the way? Things like that don't happen in real life." He spun around and she heard him breathing heavily for a while. His voice was calmer when he spoke again. "You were the one who said they do. You're being really cruel, you know?" She knew. Knew all too well. "And?" He turned back and she saw him smile at her. Of his many smiles, this was one she had never seen before. "And nothing. It just hurts a lot. I didn't expect it to." "I wouldn't know." His smile grew wider, more self-deprecating. "Maybe you choose not to." Her eyes flickered to his but he had already walked away. She watched him open the door and stand still for a second before leaving the room, gently closing the door behind him. -------------------------- Alyssa Cortez has a sinking company to save, a complicated family and an ex-boyfriend who seems hell bent on destroying the first.

Audrey Kepler wants to breathe, to run, to live. It should be a given, after all, a gift everyone receives at birth. The day she gets on the bus is the day she finally admits to herself that being alive and living are two separate things. And Audrey wants to live. When she meets Eli Davis, a mysterious, quiet, and timid boy, she assumes that they are opposites. But, they are more similar than she could have ever imagined. Eli wants to live, he thinks. He at least wants to taste what it's like before he decides. She was the sun; warm, bright, radiant, and full of the purest light. He was the stars; distant and scarce, yet fascinating and effervescent if you took the time to look closely enough. They seem so different at first glance, the sun and the stars, but they are just alike.

She doesn't intend to stay for long, but soon Regan finds herself faced with a choice: become a hero or stay a villain? *** The boy played with the flat brim of the cap in his hands and looked around the room.

Somehow this seemed to unsettle him more. 'Calm down,' she said. 'It's just murder.' *** Author's Note: Darkness Girl: Trickster God is represented by Louise Fury from The Bent Agency. P.S.
