'They wore uniform grey, their expression hard and distant, their muscles taut with expectation, as if at any moment they were ready to lead an assault, to carry out orders, to kill, to die. And yet they were. Kingston had trained these children to kill at a word, to obey their masters without question. They were machines, the ultimate weapons in modern warfare. Children, as young as seven and as old as eighteen, stood impeccable and fearless, but it was what was hidden in their minds that was to be feared most of all.'

Nineteen-year-old Charlotte Owens has entered her final year at Kingston Academy and, together with her best friends, she plans on making it through the year in one piece, away from the scrutinising eye of the headmaster and the founder's son. However, when she discovers that she has been thrust into the role of Head Girl, working alongside a boy she can hardly stand, not only are her plans for anonymity destroyed, but her plans for making it through the year at all seem to be in danger of becoming a wistful dream. Charlotte finds herself faced with the monstrous task of learning to play a game for survival in a world that seems determined to destroy her. Not only fighting for her life, Charlotte must also fight to gain control over the genetic alterations that plague her mind, in an effort to become the soldier she must be. 

A dark and tense tale of the battle between good and evil, Altered brings to life a strange and deadly world full of power and intrigue, as well as casting light on many secrets that so many hoped would remain undiscovered.

At "Freak Academy", everyone's a little... strange. She befriends a Healer, falls for a boy who plays with fire and can read her mind, and is tempted by a Spellbinder who has the power to control her. They must all work together, and their first assignment is to assist in the search for Haley Henderson, a missing toddler. Anna is desperate to find her. But first, she must finally stop hiding, and find herself.

Feared by SorchaDeBrun

'Play the game, she thought, remembering the only three words that had helped her to survive at Kingston. Only back then she had known the game, she had known what they wanted her to be, what they had wanted her to do - this man was different. She didn't know what he wanted her to be, she didn't know yet what would save her from him.' As the students of Kingston face a long-awaited and bittersweet reunion with the families that they no longer remember, a growing threat begins to plague Charlotte's mind, reminding her of just how treacherous the world can be. As her new found celebrity sky-rockets and the world wants to know all about the Lost Children of Kingston Academy, Charlotte finds her new life beginning to unravel at the seams. Casting doubt on her true nature, Charlotte is forced to turn to the one person who could possibly help her, even if it means dragging up a painful past and running from those who hold the key to her acceptance in this new world. A tense and action-packed tale of the battle to triumph over adversity and mistrust, Feared is the much anticipated third book in the 'Altered' series.

And I'm not letting it happen again." ~~ A dark secret kept with a birth of murder, a life of façade, a leap from the future, and a love bound to break.

The Bancroft Legacy by BabyD54

'In a world of the supernatural, if you're human, you're obviously not normal.' ~~~~~~~~~~ Aiden Cadwell has all a guy his age needs. A dependable family, a loyal best friend, and a devoted girlfriend. Or at least what he thought he had anyways. Battling his last year of high school is difficult. Avoiding the trauma his cheating ex-girlfriend and unloyal ex-best friend have left behind is even more difficult. If only high school drama was all he had to worry about. Aiden's life only gets more complicated when a new mysterious stranger appears. Secrets come to light, enemies come out of the shadows, and a new world comes to life. Laylani Blackwood's only purpose in life was one thing, to serve and protect the Bancrofts at any cost. Her grandparents had served them, her parents as well, now it was her turn to carry on the legacy. She was prepared for many things but babysitting a mortal in the mundane world was not one of them, but the king needed a guardian he could trust and she needed a way to prove herself. Her new charge? The lost Bancroft heir apparently. She was definitely not prepared for that. Nor was she prepared for the awkwardly charming, not-so-confident, and aggravating guy she now had to protect with her life. Was it too late to ask for a different job? ~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Y'all know the usual warnings everyone puts out and they aren't any different here. This is my work, hard work, and I would very much like it to stay that way please. There is strong language and possible content, you've been warned. I'm still a new writer and learning so work with me here and help me fix it, NICELY. This is not a continuously updated story, it is a hobby at the moment that I do in my free time.
