Freddie kissed him again. He groaned and pressed into it. Deepened it immediately, kissing her so hard, she thought he might draw blood.
She liked it.
But then he was pulling away. Backing away three steps, and freezing, miserable air rushed between them.
"You're dangerous." He ran a hand through his hair. A tiny frown knit his brow. "So, so dangerous, Freddie Gellar."

A Nightmare On Elm Street {COMPLETED}
"You can't run from what you buried. Not in your dreams." In the quiet, gray-skied suburb of Springwood, something is stirring beneath the surface-something old, something scorched, something waiting. It's been over a decade since the fire that gutted the abandoned preschool on Elm Street. No one talks about what happened. No one remembers why it happened. But their children? They're starting to dream. When 17-year-old Raven Marlowe begins suffering from vivid nightmares-twisted landscapes of bloodstained hallways, whispering shadows, and a man with razors for fingers-she tries to brush it off as stress. Her best friend is dead, found clawed and contorted in her sleep. The coroner says it was self-harm. Raven isn't so sure. As more students at her school begin to break down-some refusing to sleep, others waking up with bruises and burns-the truth uncoils itself like a rattlesnake beneath the town's perfectly trimmed lawns. Years ago, the adults of Elm Street committed a sin. They buried it. But guilt has a pulse. And now it's dreaming. Now Raven must unravel the sins of the past before they consume her future. Her mother-the town's lead detective-knows more than she's saying. Her friends are being picked off one by one. Sleep is no longer a sanctuary. To survive, Raven must become lucid, descend into a burning subconscious, and confront the soul-forge where guilt becomes a weapon. Because once you fall asleep on Elm Street, there's only one rule: If you die in your dreams... you die for real.Complete
