THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #1 Have you ever been so smitten with someone that you were just so grateful they existed? Tipong makita mo lang siya, solved ka na. Kahit hindi mo siya makausap o makasama, inspired na inspired ka. That was the case for Dawn Karsen Navarro, a die-hard fan of a prominent singer and songwriter, Dior Kobe Gallardo.

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

Welcome back to Sinclaire Academy where blood determines power, and power rules all. Rank, power, and influence are all determined by the Pyramid-the unshakable caste system that governs every creature within its walls. For generations, the rules have remained unchanged. Even the parents of today's students once walked the halls of the academy, ruling from the top of the social chain as the infamous Fearsome Four-vampires from the most powerful families: the Woodsens and the Sinclaires. Now, their children have returned to claim their place. But these heirs are not like those who came before them. They are Half-Bloods, beings with mixed blood forbidden and outlawed by the vampire Council. Born from unions the Pyramid was built to forbid. Wielding powerful bloodlines on one side and immeasurable abilities on the other, they are walking contradictions. Living threats. And the entire Council is watching. Will they rise to greatness? Or shatter the legacy their families fought to build? Cover Design by Louise De Ramos
