A misdelivered love letter meant for the school's cheerleader lands in her twin brother's locker, sparking an unexpected friendship that forces Oliver to face family secrets, his identity, and his growing feelings for the one boy he was never supposed to love. *** Oliver Grant wasn't trying to fall for Max Ellis.

The more Oliver tries to avoid him... ...the harder Max makes it to walk away. Now Oliver's life is spiraling into awkward hallway run-ins, mixed signals, and a growing suspicion that maybe - just maybe - the wrong locker wasn't a mistake at all.

A girl who talks too much. A man who barely speaks. A beginning that already feels like trouble. Isla Bennett has always been easy to read, easy to love, and impossible to silence, drifting through life with a kind warmth. Rafe Costello is the complete opposite, a CEO built on control and silence, someone who keeps his distance because it's easier than letting anyone get close enough to matter. What begins as reluctant proximity between them, slowly turns into something neither of them can seem to stay away from. But the question is.. how does a man who trusts nothing learn to trust someone like her? And how does a girl who feels everything, handle the one person she cannot quite figure out? ------------------------------------------------------------------ He shook his head slightly. But lifted his arm anyway. She spun again, laughing louder this time, and when she looked back at him he was watching her carefully. He muttered quietly under his breath. "You're trouble." Isla blinked at him, before soon smiling with a wide grin. "I'll take that as a compliment." ------------------------------------------------------------------ -SEQUEL TO 'MR.SERIOUS'-

This world is a lot more freaky than we think. There are things watching from every direction possible and countless creatures lurking in the shadows. Some are more harmful than others but they're all unnatural. Some are more well known than others. A good amount of the creatures sound like the main boss of a video game and some have. The whole idea of the supernatural sounds like fairy tales or stuff you'd read about online. But it's all real. And it's up to hunters to stop it. A trio of them take up the task to save the world from them. Together they'll kill any bastard in their way or die trying. A/n: Due to the chapter limit, this book will be season 1-7, since that feels like a nice stop both story wise and season wise. There will be a second book for season 8-15. Not to mention given that this show can get pretty dark, there will be some scenes and language throughout the book that can be triggering so, fair warning, read with caution. Also I will be uploading by season and I have other stories I'm working on so sorry for the long breaks in between uploads. I'll try to not be too long but bear with me, the episodes are very long and I'm going to try to add original chapters/moments throughout the story. Also fair warning I make something about y/n clear about her appearance, mainly just her hair length and height along with a few body features. Reason was because I need to make those things clear with what I envision, ex: I wanted y/n to be the shortest in the main cast but not the shortest in the cast so I made her height roughly 5"7/5"6-ish. Anyway, on with the book.
