After finding the body of a young girl in the bushes of her New Orleans neighborhood, Miles, a pessimistic but fiercely loyal high schooler, becomes curious about the girl's history. Maybe it's because she's around her own age or because no one seems to have known her but Miles can't let go of the sight of her sunken body.  With the high rates of violence in her neighborhood, Miles doubts the young girl's killer will ever get caught and enlists help from Syndey, a handsome neighbor that happens to have OCD and her disabled, younger brother, Jelly, to find the truth. Miles must balance her family issues with her absent father coming back into her life, her very secret crush on a boy that doesn't like to be touched and a voodoo high priestess trying to teach her how voodoo can make everything right in her life...for a cost.All Rights Reserved

H y b r i d s | Book one- Darkness by r_flaska_707

There is a room. A room deep within in a supposedly haunted mansion, deep within the bayous of New Orleans. In that room laid a secret, a secret that led to other secrets. Secrets that wanted to be kept. Secrets that shouldn't be touched. There laid a woman, a sister... The one who starts this story and ends it. In this old Victorian-like mansion lives six brothers, and with them lives their guardian that was instructed to watch over them. These cold-hearted beasts who were incapable of feelings of love after their sister was out under a sleeping curse, put on empty masks. Conniving and manipulative they are, but a girl who has lived with them for some time was able to warm at least one of their hearts, and unknowingly open the door to the room with a dark secret.
