Gertrude "Gertie" Cordelia Fischer is a twelve-year-old girl who unironically wears crocs and listens to punk music. She attends James Westerly Private Academy, an expensive boarding school where everything is rich: the kids, the food, and even the dirt. Attending on a scholarship, Gertrude knows nothing of wealth and luxury, making her somewhat of an outsider but she won't let that hold her back. With her bubbly attitude and her love for archeology, Gertie takes on James Westerly Private Academy with a smile as she makes an unlikely friend and eats her lunch not-so-alone in the courtyard.

Falling Fast
There are a few things that can make you feel as if you are living in an American high school drama - teachers complaining about the height of your skirt, your twin brother being the most popular and most sought-after boy at school, hurtful rumours that make you want to curl up and cry, punching the guy who cheated on your best friend, and falling for totally hot, totally sexy night-class professor because he's simply drool worthy and those rolled 'R's are the sexiest thing on the planet. Factor in crazy parties, Halloween costumes, fending off not-so-drunken make-out sessions, the school bad-boy, late-night snacks from McDonald's, revenge and a smart-ass dad, and the stage is set for my somewhat tragic social life.

For the past four years, Alexander has walked the halls of Unus Academy-a school of supernaturals, gods, and monsters alike. The rules are simple: conceal your identity, control your power, and never let your true nature show. Alexander expected isolation, but instead found something unexpected: real friendship. His tight-knit circle became a lifeline, something he never imagined he'd be lucky enough to have. Escaping the shadows of his past should've been enough... but some truths don't stay buried. His secret is darker than most. And while his friends might seem loyal now, he knows what could happen when they learn what he really is. He's seen it before. No one's ever gotten close. Not until Mark. Mark is everything Alexander never expected: popular, confident, disarmingly kind. And for some reason, he's determined to become his best friend. With each shared secret and lingering glance, the walls Alexander spent years perfecting begin to crack. But some instincts don't die quietly. Which version of himself would he become? If he wants to hold on to this new life, Alexander must become someone else. Fate has other plans.
