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.
(The original version of this story was written in Taglish. You can find it here in my profile. It was also published under Lifebooks in 2017 and is available in bookstores nationwide. You can order online as well (Lazada, Shopee, etc). Grab your copies now if you haven't :))
Ally is a very cool chick. She's smart, down to earth, feisty, funny, and perceptive. She may or may not have a ghost on her side - do you believe?
Ally's not falling for false charm and lies. When three guys at her posh new school make her the target of a sex bet, she busts them and takes the money. That's just the start because now these guys claim to be madly in love with her. Is it just a bigger bet? Is she the most challenging prey they will ever hunt? She thinks so and isn't going to fall for it. She tries to ignore them, but some of them aren't giving up.
If you've ever wanted to slap a girl in a story for falling into a trap, you'll love Ally. What if it's not a trap? What would it take to convince a smart girl? How does a poor lovesick guy prove he's changed? Can he redeem himself if he has? Should he ever be forgiven?
Many clichés are turned around in this story. The girl isn't gullible. The current popular girl threatened by Ally's rising stardom isn't really a witch. Parents aren't evil. Even the school sluts aren't that bad. Bad boys may or may not be as bad as they appear, but nothing happens overnight. It will take all school year and maybe the summer as well to sort it out, but the journey will be interesting and funny.
This isn't a story where the girl falls for the bad boy and forgives him with impossible ease. Instead, she'll teach all the boys several lessons and just maybe make them better men. But I don't promise you'll never want to slap her. When you aren't stupid, this world can turn you paranoid.
Warning: Steamy scenes, occasional foul language, and adult issues.
