What if Angels and Demons were real as well as other creatures of myth and legend, but our knowledge of them was flawed, what if they walked among us on a daily basis and we were just too naive to see them for what they are? How would you know the difference if you never knew the signs? What if an angel could hide its wings, or a witch was just as normal looking as your mother or brother? Would you know who was who, or what was what? Would you even know where to begin?
Jason is anything but an ordinary high school student, his skin is as white as snow; his hair an unnatural black that would give coal a run for it's money, and his eyes an emerald green that almost seem to glow. He's tall and heavily muscled, with extensive martial arts training; although his peers are the reason he became a fighter; he was once the victim of bullying and ridicule because of his unearthly appearance.
Only Cassie looked past his appearance to see the boy beneath. She became his only friend until Mark appeared. Instantly, Jason and Mark seemed drawn together by more than mere circumstances. For the first time in Jason's life, someone doesn't seem to notice how unearthly his appearance is. Mark doesn't see him as otherworldly. Instead, he sees beauty and strength. Although even he doesn't fully understand why he feels so strongly toward a complete stranger or why he feels he has to know him.
This is a story about love conquering all, regardless of past tragedies or the loss both boys have suffered. They will stand hand in hand through thick and thin, as fate throws curve ball after curve ball. Their lives will be forever changed by their meeting; be it for the better or for the worst. Love is never easy, but sometimes, it can be pure and selfless.
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me.
"Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?"
"You know who."
"Was it... about me?"
"What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other.
"I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve.
He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips.

Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side.
But Carter notices. He was a "bad boy" with a heart of gold (ik it's cliché) . He never let anything slip by him. He doesn't say anything as their personalities clash and they hate each other.
You know what they say, there is a thin line between love and hate.
Will these two step over the line?
But sometimes, running away from your problems doesn't go down unnoticed. The very person Astrid ran away from is after her, and this time, the consequences will be worse.

This is an enemies-friends-lovers book and they become friends early on because I find it difficult to write going from enemies to lovers so yeah.
