two boys. two houses. two hearts. Seventeen-year-old 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 has a long stretch of boring, lonely summer ahead of him. So when a new boy his age moves in next door, he sees an opportunity -- for what, he doesn't quite know yet. Meanwhile, 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 just wants to move on from his haunting past and get a fresh start in his new home. He doesn't expect his new, annoyingly attractive neighbour to get in the way of that. Funny how time has a way of changing even the stubbornest of hearts. And, in the same way, has an awful way of breaking them. [mature for themes of self-harm and domestic violence]

Excalibur {Complete} by CaraAisling

**WARNING: Depictions of drugs, rape, and violence are within this book.** The world is in ruin. Destroyed by the powers that governed it in all out war years ago. The only sense of order that remains now are those belonging to gangs. Gangs have control over food, water, any valuable resource. Without a gang, survival was near impossible. But being a part of one had its dangers as well. Turf wars. Violent destruction. Death. Valkyrie's boyfriend is the leader of a gang whose sole purpose it seems is to wage war on everyone else. It is chaotic, and dangerous. Valkyrie decides it's better to flee from the insane man than stick around for much longer and risk death himself. He finds himself in the hands of another gang, and in the middle of a gruesome war between the two rivals. But it's not just a fight between the gangs that is rising. There's something else brewing on the outskirts. A drug is being passed around. A dangerous one. With high results, and even higher consequences.
