"The vultures are disguised as humans."
Scarlet Turner has her last semester of high school planned out: graduate as best as she can and take care of her sick mother. But when she's told she won't graduate because of the pile of tardies she's collected over the years, she's forced to volunteer for the town's mediocre theatre rendition of Romeo and Juliet for Hales Bay's Mayor Warren. To top it all off, it's a joint production with the pompous rich kids from Lexton Prep.
Not only does Scarlet have to divide her time between school, the play, and her mother, but she has to navigate the feud between Winter Bay High and Lexton Prep. Tensions are high, everyone is tiptoeing on glass, but when Jake Miller stops her outside the auditorium with his bright smile, Scarlet is taken aback by the genuine amiability from a Preppy that she starts to intermingle with the enemy.
But when Elliot Casselbury warns her about the dangers of dipping into the Preppy side, Scarlet is thrown into a storm. She wonders if Jake will rear back with a taunting laugh and fan the flames of the feud. After all, how can a Preppy ever like a Rodent?
Envious, murderous, and covered in crimson blood.

The Way Our Hearts Flow
For as long as they can remember Cassie and Chance have been forced into each others lives. Their parents-lifelong best friends-treat them like a perfect match, but in reality, they can't stand each other. Chance thinks Cassie it too serious, always buried in a book, while Cassie thinks Chance is too cocky and carefree, always being risky. Every summer their families take vacation together at the beach, but this year is different. It's the last summer before Cassie and Chance are off to college and the tension is higher than ever. Cassie is determined to survive the trip by avoiding Chance, while Chance is set on making her summer miserable and never leaving her alone. But somewhere in between the bonfires, late-night swims, and unexpected heart-to-hearts, Chance realizes Cassie isn't as uptight as he thought. Maybe she's just fascinating. Or maybe he doesn't just like annoying her-maybe he actually likes her. As the summer sun blazes on, their hate begins to shift into something warmer-something neither of them expected. Like the ocean they reside on, they must find out all the ways their hearts can flow. ***************** Chance cups my cheek in his warm large hand and he leans in. "What do you do to me Cass?" He whispers. I suck in a sharp breath as butterflies dance in my stomach. "Chance." It comes out a breathy whisper. "My brother would kill you." He chuckles, it's deep and vibrates through his chest. "Then I would die a very happy man, if you were the last thing I ever tasted." Then his lips slam onto mine in an all too overwhelming wanting sensation.Lengkap
Sweet Spot
Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*Lengkap

Facade Of Perfectionism
'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712Lengkap
