'It had always been a gift I had...to notice things; to notice everything. Sure, I could kill someone with my bare hands, and I could solve 7 line equations in less than half a second at one glance; but memory is always a girl's secret weapon...so I guess I'm kinda...deadly.' Eloise Buckley was never normal, she had lots of things that she never told anyone...so she never got close to anyone, but most of all; she thought she was alone. That is until she is enrolled into a school by the father she couldn't remember. A school for spies. Where Eloise's talents are...normal. But no matter how utterly exceptional Crestfield Boarding School is, Eloise simply wasn't born to go through life unnoticed.

"Your eyes are telling me you want me," he murmured, his hand finding my cheek, caressing it gently. "What are you talking about?" I whispered, shivering under his touch. "Shh," he leaned in, silencing my questions with a kiss. When Erica Dalton was just ten, her family was killed under mysterious circumstances. No one ever learned how or why. Now, at seventeen, Erica has reinvented herself, hiding in plain sight as the quiet, unassuming nerd at her new high school. She keeps to herself, shunning attention and burying the dark secrets that no one would even think to ask about. Jade Anderson, another seventeen-year-old at the same school, is the son of the country's wealthiest businessman. With top grades and a reputation for being calm and aloof, Jade has little interest in girls or friends.

Silent Crowns
Crestwood Academy is where the wealthy sharpen their smiles and play by rules no one ever admits to. Classes aren't just classes-they're tests of survival. A debate isn't about winning; it's about proving who's untouchable. And the wrong answer? That can follow you forever... --- Leila Grey knows all this. She's seen what happens to people who try to climb too high. Her plan is simple: Stay out of the spotlight. Pass the exams. Survive the dining hall coffee and keep her name out of the gossip. But Crestwood has a way of dragging you in. Between Olivia's aggressively color-coded planner, clubs she never wanted to join, and the Legacies who rule the school with perfect hair and sharper words, Leila is already struggling to keep her head down. Then one rumor turns into something much bigger. Secrets surface. Power shifts. And suddenly, the people who were untouchable aren't so invincible after all. Leila may keep her head down, but if you ever make her bow, you'd better give it your all. Because once true power lifts its chin, nothing-and no one-will be left alone standing. And Jack? No one knows what to make of him. Enemy, ally - or something far more dangerous. In a place where loyalty is just another currency, figuring out his place in Leila's life might cost you everything. When the masks fall and the games turn deadly, only one question remains. Do you even have the guts... to see how it ends? 
Everlance Academy
He croaks his head and his winning expression makes me think I said something wrong, something to give him the upper hand. „So you took that as an insult, huh? Or were you rather disappointed?", the corners of his lips twitch, almost making him smile and he looks down at me, challengingly. „What? No! Of course I wasn't-" „That's it, isn't it?", he interrupts me and steps closer, if that was even possible. Suddenly he lifts his hand and pushes my chin upwards, ever so gently, so I'm looking right in his eyes, „you wanted me to say... what exactly? That's the reason you came to me when Theo wouldn't leave you alone as well, right? You wanted to be close to me." I wanted to be close to him? He was the one practically pinning me against the wall right now. I press my right pointy finger into the bare skin of his chest, pushing him away from me with it. „I've said it to you once, Nikolai, and I'll say it one more time so even you can comprehend it. You're. Not. That. Damn. Important. Not everyone wants to be close to you. Not everyone cares for you attention. Not everyone, and certainly not me!" And with that I brush past him, not turning around when walking away. I hurry around a corner, until I'm out of his sight. Only then do I allow myself to slow down. Only then do I allow myself to breathe. Only then do I allow myself to touch the part of my jaw where his hand had traced my skin. ~~~ June Lockwood loves to win. Nikolai Coleman cannot afford to loose. When the two of them meet at Everlance Academy, the most elite boarding school for competitive athletes in all of England, it's like stars colliding. It is yet to be discovered whether they will send sparks flying or cause an explosion with irreversible consequences.Complete
