[Psychological Thriller, Romance, Adventure.] [Depictions of drug use; violence by human and non-human beings; sexual content.] Mallory McAllister is a bagel maker by day and a subway busker by night. She lives in the tunnels of Brooklyn, dreaming of serenading the world with her music, tired of the too-hot summers and too-cold winters and boring buildings and bars. That's when she meets Alyssa, a girl who talks to books in the library. Alyssa tells Mallory of an art called the Vision, which allows Mallory to tap into her head and create masterpieces like she's never made before. But learning the Vision is no small task, and Mallory finds that she'll have to face more battles than writer's block alone... The Scene Is Alive Between The Lines takes place between Part 4 and Part 5 of an eight-part series. It acts as an introduction to Mallory, as well as the worlds of The Fold, the Void, and everywhere in between.

Emerson knows high school can be messy, but nothing could prepare her for Oliver Remmer's return. Dangerous, mysterious, and rumored to be a psychopath, he's the kind of boy everyone fears... and everyone watches. Yet Emerson isn't everyone. She sees the layers beneath his intense exterior-the boy shaped by a troubled past, moments of tenderness hidden under bursts of anger, and a vulnerability most people would never notice. Between the gossip, the chaos, and the adrenaline-charged tension, Emerson can't help but be drawn in. Oliver is unpredictable, and being near him is thrilling-and maybe a little bit reckless. Standing her ground almost feels like a dare. But some loves are worth the risk. Some loves are easy. Back Cover Copy: "Write down one word that describes you." Oliver didn't hesitate. Psychopath. Everyone expects me to run. To stay away. To be careful. But I didn't. Because there's something behind the intensity, the walls, the mystery. Something only I get to see. Because sometimes the thrill of the unknown is exactly what your heart has been waiting for. Set in North Carolina, Open is a teen romance about taking risks, discovering who someone really is, and finding that love can feel mysterious, dangerous... and irresistible. C O V E R B Y @ZiaDavis
