Accused of an assault he doesn't remember, Ricky's senior year is made doubly complicated when he falls for the victim's best friend, Olivia - his only alibi. *** Growing up among New York's high society seems glamorous from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. 17-year-old Ricky, who's cultivated a long list of rumors because of his bad boy behavior, knows this first-hand. But when he's wrongly accused of sexually assaulting a classmate, things take a turn. Especially when discovering the victim's best friend, Olivia, is his only alibi. With feelings quickly growing stronger between them, Ricky can't help falling for Olivia's kind nature, yet complications lurk around every corner, made worse still by the dark secret Ricky's been hiding for years, and his biggest fear is someone uncovering the truth behind the bad rumors.

Her world suddenly comes crashing down when her parents go missing and she is sent to live with an aunt she didn't even know existed. She meets a strange creature who reveals her old family secret, a new world and her destiny. She and her friends are part of ten Chosen to defeat a great evil. Whatever high school musical life Noah lived just turned into an unbelievable fantasy /and or horror book. She travels across the world, eventually crossing over to another planet, unraveling dark secrets and endless lies. Two worlds will be plunged into darkness and death....unless she does something about it. A group of teenagers chosen to save the world...this was sounding more and more like a plot of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson...maybe a high school musical doesn't sound so bad now. WARNING.
