"It's not safe out there." That's what Katharine's grandmother always says when Katharine asks why they barely ever leave the house. Katharine and her grandmother lead a different kind of life, hidden away from the rest of the world, but this summer Katharine craves a change. She misses the days when she was just like any other girl, and she longs to see her friends again. Little does she know that sneaking out will change more than just her own life.

Hadley Harris looks perfectly happy on the outside. She's popular, pretty, and liked by everyone. But on the inside, Hadley is screaming for help. Last year, her family was struck by tragedy, and it changed Hadley's world forever. When Hadley meets Katharine, she feels like someone finally understands her. 

Caitlin Romero has just moved to Crescent Bay, the one place that can help Caitlin's mother conquer her demons. Caitlin is excited when she meets Rex, a boy who has  mystery sparkling in his eyes. He's the first guy to ever really notice her, and it seems perfect until she meets Hadley. Hadley knows Rex and begs Caitlin not to trust him. But Caitlin is happier than she's ever been, even though she's going against everything she's ever been told.

This summer, the lives of three girls are changed forever in a story about relationships, secrets, and who we can ever really trust.

Into the Fog (Fisher's Bay 1) ✅ by EmilyCKalka
30 parts Complete Mature
Nadia swore she would never be like her mother - running from a past that is as dense as the fog that rolls into the strange village of Fisher's Bay. And yet, here she is. In a town that she's never heard of, clearing out the house of a grandmother she never knew. Running from the biggest screw-up of her life that has left her without a career, her journalistic reputation in shambles. And yet, there's something in the town hidden on the coastline of the Pacific Northwest that draws her in, even though she is followed by stares and whispers, all revolving around her grandmother. Perhaps it's the sense of mystery that shrouds Fisher's Bay, or the secrets about her family that she hopes to uncover, like just why her mother left all those years ago, cutting both of them off from a seemingly loving family. Or maybe it's the handsome, yet standoffish mayor Remy Hutchinson who conjures up wants and dreams in Nadia that she had never considered. But when local fishermen start showing up dead, the town turns on her, thinking she's responsible. Nadia wants to believe she's innocent, but she isn't sure of who she is anymore, experiencing odd blackouts and dreams, often waking up in her bed covered in sand and dirt. She wants to run, but can't bring herself to do so. She wants to know all the secrets that Fisher's Bay holds. The question is: Is she ready for it? Book 1 in the Fisher's Bay Series Content Warning: There are mentions of substance abuse, child neglect, and mental health issues. Some violence (though not much in this one - mostly mentions of it). Oh, and some steamy scenes.

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.
In the Shade of Groves [COMPLETE] by TJ_Taylorr
21 parts Complete Mature
Set in a small town filled with people of even smaller minds, high school senior Paisley Dennis struggles against her family's very strict legacy plan. Every member of her family has attended Princeton University, including her sister who is a college freshman there. She has always lived under her sister's "golden child" shadow and feels isolated when her sister stops talking to her. Paisley's life is made even more complicated by her secret, that she wants to go to the Art Institute of Chicago for photography. She intends to secretly apply with the help of a teacher. Her plans are derailed when the teacher tells her she has to restart her senior project because it lacks a personal touch. The teacher advises Paisley to focus her project on a person she knows nothing about and tell their story through her pictures. Paisley scrambles to find a person in a town she knows almost everything about, almost. She meets Ross Evans, the only openly gay person in town. He opens her eyes to the world and ideas she had never dared thought before. She realizes she may not know as much about Ross as she thought when he disappears and she's the last person he was seen with. Meanwhile, she gets news from both Princeton and the Art Institute of Chicago which leads her to a big decision. With Ross and her sister nowhere to be found she questions everything she thought she knew about her life, her family, and her very small town. This book comes with a trigger warning because it touches on some sensitive subjects, which is why there is a mature rating. Keep this in mind before proceeding. Other than that I hope you enjoy!
