Caleb Hanson always had to be perfect. He had to have the school wrapped around his finger, first position in all sports, the perfect girlfriend, the perfect grade, the perfect life. He was pushed into perfection by his father at a very young age, and there was no way to fight him off. Not without getting a beating to the ground by the man who raised him. So he did everything he could to be that perfect son not only to protect his mother but to protect his siblings. But after a tragic incident that ended his mother's life he couldn't take his father's beatings anymore. His father pushed him too far; he couldn't take being perfect any longer. So he found a way to be imperfect. Cutting, scaring his body to make him feel imperfect. But the questions still remain, haunting him. Can he get his family away from this perfectionist monster? Can he take another beating if it means protecting his siblings? What would happen if he cut a little deeper the next time? Would he end his life if that means leaving his siblings in the hands of a monster?

[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.
