BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Meet Jake Snyder, the ultimate playboy of Crosswell High. Handsome, rich, and dripping with sex appeal, he's a heartbreaker who doesn't believe in love-just in feeding his ego.
Jake's dating history reads like a teen rom-com bingo card: the girl-next-door, the nerd supreme, the confusing bisexual, the overachieving perfectionist, the Queen Bee, the unpredictable homeless girl, the liberated exchange student, and even a wild ride with Siamese twins.
But then there's Pepsi Lane. Just hearing her name makes Jake inexplicably thirsty, for some reason.
He's gone to great lengths to capture the attention of this enigmatic girl, but her aloofness only fuels his obsession. Rumors say she's a witch, and that anyone who gets too close might turn into a dog. Others whisper that her soul is darker than her lipstick and eyeliner. But Jake doesn't believe in fairy tales.
Pepsi is no ordinary girl; she's a force of nature, a whirlwind of mystery and magnetism. While Jake walks around like he's the puppet master, she's the one holding the strings... or is she?
She tries her very best to remain cautious, but this only serves to further ignite Jake's determination to 'conquer' her. He will never accept defeat, and he won't stop until she gets on his list, even as things start to get unusual...
What is the true story behind the mysterious freak? Will Jake risk everything for his ego? Could Pepsi be the one to finally change him?
The infamous bad boy is about to uncover the truth, and it won't be a smooth journey for sure.

"You're so full of yourself, Archie." I said, rolling my eyes and pushing against his chest so that he would move at least a little bit away.
He smirked that dangerous smirk that had me crossing my legs. "Say the word, gorgeous, and I'll make you full of me too."

Yet still, he has a secret. A secret that threatens to destroy them both.
River is the forgiving type. With a bubbly personality, a mouth to last her centuries and the beauty of a fallen angel, she's simply the epitome of perfection. But will she forgive him if she finds out what he's hiding?

*DISCLAIMER*
•VERY VERY possessive boy- like you'll probably be like 'what a dick'.
•Lots of strong language
• *whispers* sex ;d ...
• Archer IS NOT a sweetheart to River. He's kind of a bit of a prick and is kind of really mean. They have that kind of banter. If you don't like that then, with all due respect, bye.
•Archer can also be a real cringe fest type lover boy. You've been warned. I love cliches and HATE sad endings.
*hint hint*
Ok, enjoy.
