A desert-town math whiz meets an ambidextrous artist, a Scorpio... in the wake of a best friend's death, two white envelopes that freak people out, and a diamond pearl that might be LSD.

In the outskirts of Las Vegas, freshman Aurora (a.k.a. Ari) takes refuge in calculus and probability problems to escape the demons of her painful past. Math was what the prestigious prep school Staglight Academy had recruited her for-her, a girl from the wrong side of the train tracks. Plus, numbers are logical; math makes sense. This predictable world built on immutable mathematical theorems doesn't plague you with chronic insomnia, doesn't let Katrina-your best friend-die, and definitely doesn't hurl a tornado through the middle of the Mohave.

But a desert cyclone is exactly how their twin escapes begin-Ari, running from the horrors that have chased her throughout time, and Xanexa, running from the horrors that have chased xyr across the universe. 

They run until they meet, when Ari comes face-to-face with xyr, an amazing artist whose sketches are so real they could come to life. From that initial encounter, she begins to discover the dangerous, life-threatening truths that had been buried with Katrina. Under an increasingly constricting web of manipulation and deceit that imperil Ari and those around her, those truths resurface with the ones about herself that had been buried beneath the sands of time-truths that are wholly irrational, just like art--

--and pi, a number xe shows her the end to, even though it is real, irrational, natural, and never-ending.

An Indian TeenFic | 2nd Book (A spin-off) | Nihaara Thakur wasn't just fed with a silver spoon; she was fed gold through it. She might not know the height of the Eiffel Tower but surely her parents had a baby pic of her with it. She didn't know the quadratic formula but of course she kept a check on her calories. She happened to be only fourteen and helplessly naïve when she became completely obsessed with her brother's best friend. Arav Kulkarni was the kindest, nicest (and one hell of a gorgeous) person she'd met. He taught her quadratic formula, made her love mathematics, told her the ways of life, and most importantly. . .helped her recognise herself. In return, he did fall even harder. . .but there's one thing every guy on Earth knows. Never fall for your friend's sister. Especially not if you know you will potentially leave her heartbroken, scarred for life and afraid to ever love again. It results in ruination of an otherwise perfect friendship; something a little too high on the regret scale. Sparks fly and hate strikes. When you feel for someone so strongly that you forget the difference between love and loathe, the line between giving up and giving in starts to blur. You become reckless, ready to touch the forbidden. And then you know exactly what they mean when they talk about forbidden fruits tasting the sweetest. ****************** Book 2 (spin-off) after WMAC published on my account. This one can be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend reading that one first.
The Four Points di jjmelvin
11 parti Completa
In the Four Points we enter the world of a young teenage outsider and her struggle to be accepted-her struggle to accept herself. But ERIKA is far from a regular teen. Erika hears people's thoughts. She has blackout spells, waking up in places with no idea of how she got there...and strange, inexplicable things keep happening around her. On the first day of 11th grade, Erika is compelled to intervene during a mass shooting at her high school. She is reluctantly propelled into the spotlight. A series of strangers start to enter her life...all connected by an odd symbol-a DIAMOND containing two eyes-a symbol similar to the birthmark on the back of Erika's neck. One of these strangers is a gorgeous young man named LIAM, who shares the very same marking. Erika will soon find out that she and Liam are, in fact, at the center of a worldwide struggle between the forces of good and evil. They are part of a secret society of "Diamonds" compelled to protect the world. And Erika is the "Western Point". As the battle heats up between the forces of good and evil, Erika's instinct to push people away will be tested when she falls for Liam. Erika struggles to face the demons within her, the fear of being abandoned again. Erika must choose between the risky path of love and the familiar call of the Collector-a sinister, seductive immortal. Will Erika learn to trust? Will she ever feel worthy of Liam's love? Or will she let her insecurities, her fears, destroy the world?

"You're not supposed to be awake," she said to him. Her voice was rather deep, but somehow, still soft and feminine. "And you're not supposed to be here." He didn't dare get out of bed, but he rose onto his elbow. She squinted for a moment and then raised one corner of her mouth. "You naughty boy! Been skimping on your meds, have you?" ********************************************** He is utterly lost. Lost in time, without control. Lost in a world that's strange and daunting. But he must not give up. He's a fighter, after all. And though his sword fighting skills don't count for much here, it's the unrelenting spirit that can either break or save him. And her... Always coming out of seemingly nowhere. Always renewed, yet so familiar. Come to give comfort or just remind him fate has not forgotten him. And each time she leaves, it's like she rips a part of him along. They share a common understanding about the subtleties of life. She's the only one who gets him, yet that gnawing feeling that there's so much more about her just keeps him on his toes. But she never stays long enough for him to find out. Until one day when he convinces her to stay for longer. And the mystery starts to surface. But she's not used to it. She runs... never expecting him to follow into hell. Disaster strikes and breaks him, in a way that turns him callous and cruel. And that in turn breaks her, making her sacrifice her love for his greater good. But does fate agree with that? This is a rollercoaster of emotions, not built for the faint of heart. But it's for those who will endure through the pain and suffering that the greatest rewards await on the other side. Come! Join the adventure!
