[Vᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ 1 - Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ] Evelyn White was born with a gift - or rather, a curse: the first time she touches someone, she sees when and how that person dies. Meeting new people is sickening. Walking through a crowd is hell. Not to mention that when she opens her big mouth to tell people what's going to happen to them, most treat her like she's crazy - even after she saves their lives. But meddling with the future has consequences, and Death is not all there is to fear. As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Trying to get close using mind games and tricks. It knows about her powers. It knows she can change Fate - and it's not alone. ------------------------------------------- This book is written in Australian English and uses British style grammar.

41 parts Ongoing Mature
"I came here fleeing from an arranged marriage. People would blame my sudden disappearance on the legend and not even think twice about it. I didn't actually believe that there was anything here, let alone a whole fucking village of werewolves in the mountains. Your territory was my way out, and I don't take well to other people telling me what to do, so I'll say it again: if you don't let me go, we're going to have a fucking problem." He lowers his voice, and it sounds almost like a growl as he speaks. "Well, you're going to have to get over it, nenita, because, now that you're here, I have no intention of letting you go." Savannah Saint Ives, the only daughter of Alpha Sebastian Saint Ives-the leader of the most preeminent werewolf pack in the world-is everything an Alpha female entails. With Alpha blood coursing through her veins, she's easily one of the strongest warriors in her pack and was born to be a leader. Betrothed against her will to the next Alpha of the neighboring pack in order to keep a high ranking position, she flees her home in the interest of keeping her freedom. En route to a territory in New Mexico, where a pack was said to have mysteriously disappeared over 200 years ago, she decides the best way to avoid her arranged marriage is to disappear completely. And what better way to do this than head to the land of Las Estrellas? A place where wolves have been said to venture and never return.

Life for Callie had never been an easy one but it was something she had gotten used to. For this emotionally lonely girl, it entailed balancing school with work, taking care of her mentally ill dad and dealing with a pointless high school drama that she had been webbed in. But when her dad got arrested for something he didn't do, Callie took it upon herself to appeal to the person who put him there. What she didn't expect was to get tangled up with the quiet, emerald-eyed Larkin Hammell and opening up her fragile heart to a boy with more baggage than she ever had. Larkin Hammell had enough scars on his face and his heart, likewise, to last a lifetime. He had become a shadow of his former self and all he wanted was to be left alone to wallow in his pain and grief. Hiding away from the world and wearing the guilt of his past on his sleeves were all part of Larkin's plans. Then everything changed when fate swept her into his life unexpectedly. Is love ever enough to fix the fragments of a broken heart or is it all you need to pick up the remaining pieces before it gets completely shattered? *** 👑1st place - Monarchy Awards (Teen Fiction Category) 👑1st place - The Innovation Awards (Romance Category) 👑1st place - The Ulven Awards (Romance Category) 👑 Winner of "Best Fantasy" Category - Nigerian Readers Choice Awards 👑3rd place - The Noble Awards (Teen Fiction Category) Readers' Reviews - "Is this really chapter 1?
