Emerson Rogers liked to think of himself as an ordinary teenager. After all, he had no reason to believe otherwise. He went to an upstanding private school with the rest of his friends, was a straight-A student, had no disciplinary issues, and was well-liked according to his classmates and teachers. If anyone were to take a glance at him, they would assume that he was just another carefree rich kid with no problems in his life to worry about. Unless you consider the fact that his evening plans included putting on a blue super suit and speeding through the streets as a crime-fighting superhero. Okay, so maybe his life wasn't as ordinary and carefree as he liked to portray it. With Emerson starting his senior year of high school, things have started to become a bit more tricky than he would've preferred. Defending Jefferson City and maintaining a normal school life as a cover can be hard, but throw in his best friend getting closer to the truth about his alter-ego's identity and a mysterious villain working from the shadows who always seems to be two steps ahead, living a double life is going to be his biggest challenge yet. Especially when new villains start crawling out of the woodwork, thirsty for a fight, and his old villains return stronger, angrier, and looking to settle a score. As Emerson starts to uncover the truth behind where all these villains are coming from, he finds that not everything is what it seems on the surface. And that he and this mysterious villain have a stronger connection than he originally thought.

In Harmstead Bay, secrets are currency, and fake smiles hide real betrayals. This elite seaside town is ruled by wealth and power, where you're either somebody or work for somebody. The rich kids burn through money like oxygen, never knowing what it means to struggle. A year ago, fourteen friends set sail. Only four returned. Their story was airtight: a fire, a sinking boat, ten lives lost to the ocean. They moved on, distanced themselves, and buried the past. But when one of the "dead" washes up in California, alive, with no memory of what happened the cracks in their perfect lie begin to show. Now, the four survivors must come together and rewrite the past before the truth destroys them. Because in a town built on money, power, and privilege, even murder can be bought and buried... but not forever.Complete
