Book #2 of the Campus Sleuths' Series.

Enter the student life in the prestigious academe of Castillo High - where favoritism is a religion, the campus is a board game, and the system is bullshit. Every single student is a pawn.

But not for long.

Three of the academe's talented students play against the rules and display consecutive acts of anonymous rebellion, which leads to an investigation from Castillo High's newly-put up detective organization: the Campus Sleuths.

It's a battle between the leagues as they hunt for each other's tails, only to discover that both groups are merely pawns in a much larger and more dangerous chess game - with a nefarious mastermind pulling the strings in the background. Will the two factions set aside their different views and agenda to overthrow a culprit whose dominance presides over the student body?

In a place where everyone is a pawn in this chessboard, one must be willing to break the system and overthrow the empire.

NOT A REVERSE HAREM NOR A MAFIA STORY! He lightly shook his head and pressed his lips together, then, all his worry fled, leaving him to look completely carefree. "You're nothing but a distraction, our toy to play with-a fuck, you mean nothing. Know your place around here, Kezanel." He sneered in my face, burying his cold stare into me so I wouldn't forget just how scary he could be. Axel squeezed his hand, cutting off my air supply. "Understood." Gasping for air, I scratched at his wrist, nodding my head very slowly. One eyebrow arched and he leaned into me, his stare more intense now that I wanted to look away, but if I did I would be in trouble. "Y-Yes." I let out a strangled cry and pleaded with my eyes for him to let go. A tiny smirk curved at his lips and he shoved me back, his hand freeing from my neck. I fell to the floor, coughing and watching as he left the room carelessly-as if nothing happened. - Her father threw her away like she was nothing - he considered her to be a bastard child, he wanted her gone and he didn't care who took her. But a debt she knew nothing about was the actual reason for her dismissal. The Santiago's. They run Strixfield and everyone in it. They're cold-hearted and ruthless, and people owe them. So when there's a debt to be paid..they'll be at your doorstep faster than a gun being fired through it. - #1 hateloverelationship 19/4/22 #3 steamy 5/5/22 #4 twistedromance 5/5/22 #1 darkromance 6/5/22 #1 killers 30/12/22 #1 santiago 28/7/22 #2 criminals 11/9/22 #1 debt 17/8/22 #1 sinful 11/12/22 | 5/9/23 #1 cartel 18/10/22 #1 kinky 15/2/23

Justice For The Fallen ✓ by axgirl13

Unjustly accused of murder, the Demon of Wrath joins forces with the Archangel of Justice to find the true culprit. ____ Sannarah lives from one deadline to the next. As a Wrath Demon, she is obliged to provide a certain number of human souls to the Fallen God every month so she can stay in the Human Realm. If she fails to do so, she'll be sent straight back to Hell. And it's not a nice place, even for demons. One day she follows the shady tip-off and finds herself in the middle of a gruesome crime scene as the main suspect. The lead investigator Melkyal, an Archangel of Justice, gives her a choice: she can help him find an actual perpetrator and get a clean slate, or refuse and spend a few weeks in jail for petty crimes. With looming deadlines, she can't afford to waste time. But teaming up with an angel can't be a good idea. Even though he seems reasonable and focused on finding the truth, he's still a mortal enemy. Sannarah has an opportunity to topple the unjust order plaguing her whole life, but the chances of success are slim, and the consequences of failure are unfathomable. Melkyal must choose between blind obedience to his god and trusting his own judgment. They may have to take a leap of faith to save each other. ____ 🌟Shortlisted for the Wattys 2022🌟 🥇place in the Count Awards in the Paranormal category ____ The beautiful cover made by amazing @Lueur_laVespine

Ruby Fridays by sinwerifesteria

Everyone has their dark side but some- like 𝙍𝙪𝙗𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨, have the darkest. High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for her, it was peculiarly hellish. Clever as evil and twice as pretty, Ruby's beauty was both dangerous and lethal. Trouble always follows her, and strangely enough-she's familiar with the feeling of blood on her hands, and the glimmer of naked secrets and truths that keep her enemies up until sunsets and dawns. But when she got enrolled in a prestigious institution-the infamous, "𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮," despite her tainted school records, she realizes that her ruined fate is already sealed by the almost perfect image of the school- that is nothing but a façade to masked the darkness that lurks within its whole vicinity. Like a twisted fate, as if reflecting Ruby's name, the Academy holds a sinister game of 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 every 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 And the official rules are simple yet sinister. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡? You must reveal your deepest, darkest and most hideous secret. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞? Well, that could be even more dangerous-even deadly. When the game takes an even darker turn with her appearance, suddenly no one at the Academy knows who to turn to and trust with the day by day murders in the broken mists. Yet in the darkness, 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚, a disguised angel who's surprisingly Ruby's parallel counterpart, decides to interfere with her ruined path. Together with him, they will look for the missing pieces and connect them. Together, they will unravel the cases and reveal the secrets beyond the broken glasses of their hearts.
