Ethan Dost is a 17 year old senior in high school. He's lived in San Diego his entire life and he never ever considered going anywhere else; he didn't want to. He was planning to open his own surf shop and run it with one, possibly two of his friends. He lived, breathed, and drank the ocean, always feeling right at home.
Then, one day, he saves the life of this girl. She's half-blind, excitable, and full of adventure. Ethan thinks she's absolutely insane when he first meets her, for she has eyes that light up easily at the smallest things and she continues to speak of all the places she's been, her smile blinding.
Ethan honestly doesn't know what to make of her as he gets to know her though. Part of him starts to grow strong feelings for this stranger, but the other half beats him to pieces, saying that he promised himself he was going to stay in San Diego. And when this girl offers to take Ethan on a trip cross-country with her, Ethan is faced with an impossible decision as things continue to become more and more complicated.All Rights Reserved

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy) by Sharkprose

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.

Somethings are terrifying, as he expected they would be, but others light and gentle, hidden beneath the faces of monsters that could resurface at any moment. Everyone in LC penitentiary is a dance of faces, of masks one wears to blend in with prey. Which faces are real, which the lures? And will Nathan one day don a mask of his own, to bury the gentleness in his heart behind the violence and hatred that ended him up there in the first place? ----- Rachel is the daughter of the Mayor by day and one of the hood kids at night. Nothing was dangerous to her until she stumbled upon the inmates of LC Penitentiary. Intending only to take a step onto the edges of LC Penitentiary, it drags her under into a world of violence, pain, and unfathomable sadness.

Facade by polluxo

Alejandra Martinez had the perfect life until she lost her mom and childhood to a violent tragedy that she witnessed. As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all. She continued life as best as she could with little hope for anything and trust in absolutely nothing, turning into someone her mother wouldn't recognize, doing whatever she needs to do to cope as well as to protect herself. During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. The two know nothing about each other. Despite this, they still find reasons to dislike one another. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. Both begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over the years, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.
