The last thing 17-year-old Zara Crosse wants is a distraction from her bright ballet future. But when Zara's estranged mother dies unexpectedly, half-siblings enter her life for the first time and force her to join a dangerous world where they take on "vigilante" jobs for those willing and desperate enough to pay. 

As Zara searches for a way out from under her siblings bloody grasp without disastrous consequences, she is triggered into a darker, crueler version of herself. Controlled by her siblings to stalk the streets of Seattle, she struggles to find her way back from the darkness. 

Genre: This is a young adult/teen fiction thriller and action novel with mild violence, language and sexual scenes well within the PG-13 limit.

He only grins wider, "Show no mercy, Angel." He rears up, lips capturing mine and pulling my face closer to his, his hand winding itself around my neck to hold me in place as he draws my whole being into his with only his poisoned tongue and daring words. . .

Knife's Edge

37 parts Ongoing

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor has been dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter. Suddenly left abandoned, navigating the murky waters of life in care, it took a little while longer for Jade to find her place in the world. Now, finally, she has. At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. The question is... which way will she fall? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!)
