(TW for suicide, a torture scene, and SA) Struggling with mental illness is like fighting for your life, and for some teenagers, it literally became just that. After a suicide attempt, Yvonne Mcreary finds herself in a strange place. Not heaven or hell, but The Facility, where mentally ill teens are not patients but prisoners. Posing as a place for mentally ill teenagers to become stronger, The Facility is full of secrets. Here, she encounters the tyrannical leader, Xander, who seems to believe he is doing the right thing by forcing the prisoners into odd experiments that, in his mind, will make them have powers (such as controlling fire and electricity) and fighting to make them stronger, and the cold and seemingly brutal Executioner, who was also at one point a prisoner himself. Along with Lilith, a kind, forgetful girl and Yvonne's cellmate; Damion Heart, a boy who doesn't want to make friends; and Veronica, a blunt but loving girl who would do anything for her friends, these teenagers work together to overcome not only the Facility, but their own struggles themselves.

"Come on you know none of it matters. none of it matters without this, us." {The first book in the Tethered series} Bernadette is no stranger to what lurks in the shadows and the pain it brings with it. For the better parts of her life were spent being pulled into the darkness, she learned quickly that in a world of sorrow it's better to disappear than face it. No one managed to save Bernadette from the tidal wave of anguish she rides on, until Alicia. But no good things truly last and if somethings too good to be true it's doomed to fail. Falling for the ghost who wandered its way into his life was never Hudson's plan. But then again, Hudson's plan seemed to be drowning out the existential dread about what his future entailed with stinging fingers and an ashy throat. The pair of them made no sense from an outside perspective. How could the guy who dances on heartstrings and the girl who finds solace in evanescing ever fit together. But perhaps when you bury your true self so far, the only person to get it back is someone who did the same. Unmasking the secrets kept so deep inside is a difficult task, but sometimes Love can push you into it. Indeed, they had a love to end all love. A love for the ages, one to shatter limitations and exceed all bounds. A Ghost and her Tether. :)
