What if a science nerd had to learn to harness her psychic powers?
Kaitlin Reynolds finds refuge from the pain of her mother's passing five years previously in science and academia. When she lands a high-school unpaid internship at ICER, the International Center for Epigenetic Research, she feels like she is right on track to becoming a scientist. Yet, her carefully structured world is shattered when she meets Demian, a handsome prisoner-turned-science-experiment in the pits of ICER.
This meeting forces her to betray everything that she holds dear; her family, her dreams, and even the logic and reason she grasps so tightly. Everything spins out of control when she starts falling for him and finds herself in a perilous situation. The choices: master the Anima stone, which enhances it's bearer's psychic powers, or repeat the sins of her mother and die.

Ghost
Ghost follows the story of Luna Starr, a girl whose life is altered forever after a quantum experiment at the age of seven leaves her with a rare condition called Molecular Disequilibrium. Her cells are in a constant state of destruction and regeneration, granting her the uncanny ability to phase through solid objects and quantum shift across short distances. Seen as both an anomaly and a potential weapon, Luna is swiftly taken by a shadowy government agency and spends the next eleven years trapped in a high-security facility-studied, isolated, and forced to suppress her humanity in favor of becoming something controllable. Everything changes when Luna receives a mysterious letter, smuggled through the cracks of her prison, and addressed directly to her-a letter from a long-lost family friend who still believes in the person she is, not the thing she's become. The letter ignites a dormant spark of rebellion within her and forces her to confront a terrifying question: if she has the power to phase through walls and shift realities, why hasn't she used it to break free? As she begins to unravel the truth about her condition, her captors, and her own resilience, Luna must decide whether escape means finally taking control of her fate-or tearing apart the fragile threads of a life she barely remembers.Complete
