Through the thick and thin, ebb and flow, the story contains about friendships between graduating seniors narrated through the lenses of an introverted 18-year old girl often filled with satire and sarcasm. A story about chasing an ideal- the absolute perfection of a version she imagined of what her last remaining days of high school needs to be. A story about a regretfully misspent time, chances to make up for all the squandered opportunities, holding onto what truly mattered the entire time, the precious gifts she had all along, forming deeper connections in ones culture and history, romance, unrequited crush, friendships and the adventures of being... (???)

Some towns keep secrets. Others keep score. After her mother's death, Keyana Carter has spent most of her high school years making sure BrickleBrooke did both. Then in 24 hours she loses her home, her title, and every reason she had to play nice. It is 2016 and she is living under a roof she never asked for, surrounded by people that put her homicidal urges to the ultimate test, while sitting with questions nobody in this city seems interested in answering. The police say it was an accident. A banned Japanese game from the early 2000s says otherwise. That's the thing about prematurely calling a young woman the villain. Now with everything falling apart, she's ready to wreak havoc and make sure they burn for it. --● ঌ ●----● ঌ ●--Important--● ঌ ●----● ঌ ●-- Heads up: expect grief, blood, death, and all the works. It's a campy revival of a book I wrote back in high school, now with a higher body count and evident neurodivergence. Some of it bites. So yeah, you've been warned. Otherwise, helmets on.

Once her guardian, then her best friend, Eleanor raised Maeva after her parents' death---in such a way that Maeva began to find solace in her Aunt's presence. Years later, tragedy strikes once more and when secrets surface from the past, Maeva uncovers a hidden treasure Eleanor was protecting. And behind that buried secret is the 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫, a predator keeping an eye on all of her activities--- only waiting to strike at the right time. And among all this chaos, there's Doctor 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬. He's the only person who sees Maeva as a human, not a heiress to the Blackthorne empire. In a world where loyalty is a rare money and affection may mask the sharpest of blades, she must learn quickly--- for even the purest light casts the deepest shadow. #1/3 in The Elites Series Contains: CEO Woman • Hidden Treasure • Dangerous Love • Intimate tension... and many more. ☾︎ ☆ Bᴏᴏᴋ ᴄᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴄʀᴇᴅɪᴛ ɢᴏᴇs ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ.
