Elisabeth Elise Holloway prides herself on two things: her ability to read people instantly and her talent for delivering the perfect, crushing comeback with a sweet, disarming smile. Valley View was supposed to be a boring, normal town where she could coast through high school, make a few friends, and maybe find a bit of inspiration for her music. Then she met Jake Madden. With his easygoing charm, terrible jokes, and genuine golden-boy vibe, Jake is the exact definition of a good guy. Their effortless, late-night text banter and undeniable connection quickly turn into something deeper, making Elise wonder if small-town life isn't so bad after all. But Elise's sharp radar has never failed her, and the new family on Oak Street is hiding something massive. Between his sister Amy's fiercely hostile attitude and a series of bizarre accidents where Jake is just a little too quick and a little too strong, Elise begins pulling at a thread that was never meant to be unraveled. When she finally discovers the truth-that the sweet, dependable boy she's falling for is actually a supervillain-in-hiding-her world completely fractures. Forced to keep the Maddens' secret to protect the boy who broke her trust, Elise is caught right in the crossfire of superpower chaos, intense family drama, and an angsty romance that is as magnetic as it is dangerous. In a town divided by heroes and villains, Elise has to figure out where she stands when the lines between right and wrong start to blur. Because when it comes to the Madden family, the good and the bad are always packaged together.
