Five months. Twenty-five bodies. One terrifying truth.
For Victoria Stevenson, life in the fog-shrouded town of Villsdale is defined by strict rules and a suffocating 8:00 PM curfew. For the past five months, a string of brutal, unsolved murders has plagued the town-each victim discovered with their throat savagely ripped out. But to Victoria, the horror is deeply personal. Inexplicably, the very first killing occurred on the eve of her sixteenth birthday.
Villsdale rarely gets outsiders, but the arrival of the new school year brings a wave of mysterious exchange students from Romania. Among them is Benjamin Jayson-a boy Victoria vividly remembers from her fifth-grade class, who vanished years ago following a family tragedy. He has returned, but he is no longer the sweet boy she once knew. He is guarded, intense, and harboring dark, impossible secrets.
As Victoria is drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Benjamin and his enigmatic inner circle, the world around her begins to unravel. Unnatural forces bend to her deepest anxieties, and a hidden war brewing beneath the surface of the town threatens to boil over.
The monsters tearing Villsdale apart aren't just lurking in the woods-they are hunting for her. Forced to face a reality where ancient lore is real and elemental powers awaken at her fingertips, Victoria must uncover her true nature before the rising bloodline tides consume everything she loves.

Hide And Seek
"You know; people say that we are not what we think we are, we are what we hide." His eyes scanned her. He was pressed against her shaking body, his fingers skimming her pale skin, a crooked smile emerging, matching his daunting expression. Zacky slowly backed away from her. He knew he couldn't act like that at plain sight, but he couldn't resist the way she unwittingly dared him, like if the simple fact of looking him in the eyes revealed a burning passion he knew it didn't exist. "Oh Victoria, why are you always so naïve?" His smile grew bigger as he watched her bewildered face, just like when a pray was released by its predator. "Go hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies. And in the end there will be no one left. Just you...and me. So let's play hide and seek, shall we?"Complete

I offer in ragged breaths. "We could have just done this from the beginning," he replies, breathing heavily. We both chuckle. I gaze into his green eyes. "Your eyes are really beautiful," I blurt out. "I know," he smirks. "Are you always that egotistic?" "It depends," he answers, pushing my hair behind my ear. I smile at him. "You're welcome then."

Bitter Heart √
Caden Miller. Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson. Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep. Quite literally. Living a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics, there wasn't anything more that she wanted. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox... ...and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds. . . .
