"Poor woman, she lost a son to the lagoon and the other tried to commit suicide."
***
A scary attempt at suicide was what had Tayo's mother sending him away to live with his uncle in Lagos, quietly hoping that a change of scenery would do the sixteen year old boy some good.
Battling with nightmares and the persistent voice of his brother in his head, Tayo could vouch that he was the most miserable human being on Earth.
In a bid to please his worrying mother, he is forced to face living in a new environment, going to a new school and meeting a variety of people with different outlooks on life.
****
One birthday party, a dead body and the hysteria that comes after, has Tayo slowly coming to terms with the fact that, while the demons after him were quite scary, they were babies compared to those some of his mates were fighting...

Nsikan isn't just our clichΓ© high school girl. In fact, she's as normal as they get. An average look, an average brain, and an average way of reasoning. With two amazing best friends she's supposed to be the center of attention right? Wrong, but she did gain some attention. Nsikan miraculously found a way to gain the Trix's attention despite her trying to be a wallflower which turned out to be a complete failure. Aside from that, she manages to gain the attention of the most attractive boy in school, but not in a good way. To Damian, Nsikan is weird. He sometimes wonders if her brain functions differently from every other human. Irrespective of being bullied on a few occasions, he realizes Nsikan still finds ways to smile and act silly and he found that strange. Damian and Nsikan might be two opposite individuals, but will there be something to learn from each other?

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. π«ππππππππ πΆπππ - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. β¦οΈ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind.

That twelve years ago, her life had been stolen from her. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she learned not to dream-dreams didn't belong to people like her. All she wanted was a way out, a job to pull her and her sister out of poverty. But when the truth comes crashing down, her simple existence is ripped apart. She isn't just another struggling girl-she is the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's wealthiest families. And they want her back. Thrown into a world of untold riches, Denise is expected to adjust, to play her part in a life she never knew existed. But not all that glitters is gold. Her twin sister despises her, her new family is drowning in secrets, and the mystery of her kidnapping looms over her like a dark shadow. To make things worse, Bellrich Academy-the elite school she now attends-is a battlefield of ruthless rich teens, social hierarchies, and cruel mind games. And lurking beneath it all? A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths. Because in the world of the elite, the most dangerous thing Denise can be-is unprepared.Complete
