The closest thing to a romantic relationship eighteen-year-old Marley Anderson has ever experienced is kissing her precious Labrador puppy. She's just not the kind of girl to easily become caught up in a young relationship that is destined to fail. Besides, she's considered a girl with baggage--one of her brothers was tragically killed, and she's still coping with the ramifications of the shocking loss.                                                 

Spending the summer in Northern Michigan provides her with an escape from the pain; it offers a distraction from the frustrations consuming her life. Not only does the peaceful environment offer comfort, but also an unexpected friendship with her new neighbor, Sam Hamilton, that allows her to expose the heavy emotions she's been containing for an entire year.            

This summer, everything changes.

River Scott is 23 and searching for a sense of peace she's been missing. After ten years of living in Boston with her mom, she's returned to her coastal hometown of Bar Harbor, Maine, for one last unforgettable summer. With her head full of childhood memories and her heart set on reconnecting with old friends, River is determined to recapture the magic of simpler times. Enter Leo-the charming, unpredictable frat guy who makes it impossible for River to keep her walls up. With his laid-back confidence, easy banter, and genuine kindness, he pulls her into moments of joy and spontaneity, reminding her what it feels like to be truly alive. But River isn't looking for something serious. She's keeping her heart guarded, convinced that this summer has an expiration date, and so does whatever this thing is with Leo. As River navigates the delicate balance between falling for someone and keeping her distance, she's forced to confront what it really means to live in the moment. Can she protect herself from getting hurt, or will she let her heart lead her into the unknown?

Death Boy by Marissa_Settatree

Summerview is your average, quiet town, where everyone knows everyone and that's the way it's always been. It's the kind of town where the local coffee shop is where all the high school students go for study sessions and the park is where the Mother's Day picnic is held each year. The residents of the town are content just to chat with each other and hope nothing out of the ordinary occurs. When Devon Henderson, a handsome boy with hypnotic brown eyes and cold, pale skin moves to town, everything changes. After his arrival, people start to disappear, sending the town into a complete frenzy. Rules are suddenly made by the police and a curfew is placed over the entire town. The only person who isn't completely terrified is Caitlin Saunders, the mayor's sixteen-year-old daughter who has an adventurous streak, a tendency to get into trouble, and an incredibly hard time listening to the rules. Determined to find out what happened to the town, Caitlin finds herself tangled up with Devon's past. Sometimes love can be fatal. This book is 100% original and all of the characters, as well as Summerview, are completely fictional. Any resemblance to real people, dead or alive is completely accidental.

Subconsciously I let out a whimper when her shirt left soon after her pants. She frowned in my direction and picked me up and put me on her lap as if I weighed nothing. Sure I was only three feet tall and didn't weigh more than 100 pounds. "Are you hungry boy?" ~~~ What happens when Kai finds himself lost in the forest and a dog catcher so happens to find him. He gets taken to the pound ad awaited his death. But something better comes along...more like someone. Meet Skye
