Vivi
Moving in with your best friend is the dream. I get to live that dream. There's only one problem, her cousin, River Martinez. He lives with her too and I just have to accept that. His late-night activities are merely irritating, nothing to move out over. His equally good-looking friends with their equally annoying habits are easy to ignore. His shitty attitude rolls right off my back. His apparent hatred for wearing shirts to bed doesn't affect me in the slightest. And I won't be falling into the trap that everyone knows he is. I am so full of shit. {Book 1 in the Domino Effect spinoff series}Complete

He is rude, a bit of a poetic psycho, sometimes so mysterious she wonders if she really knew him, If he isn't just the fruit of her imagination. But curiously, even after pushing him off every time, they always seem to find their way back to each other. Could this really be love? Or just adrenaline screaming through both of their bodies?

Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete
