Not all that glitters is gold...

Holly Blythsea is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. At the prestigious university in Salem, where only the best have a chance, there's no room for failure. Surrounded by walls built by her past, she doesn't let anyone get too close. Determined to conquer the world, Holly isn't looking for excuses-she's only looking for victory.

Together with her two best friends-Gwen, the queen of parties, and the mysterious Lydia-she embarks on a new journey, one that brings challenges not only intellectually but emotionally as well. But university life isn't just about studying-it's also a battleground where competition wears many faces.

Soon, they encounter a group that doesn't look at them kindly, seeing them as intruders. And at the heart of this rivalry stands Chase Erickson-a guy who doesn't believe in rules and isn't afraid to play a game where the truth is just another lie.

Holly doesn't expect that her life will soon become a minefield, where the real enemies are those who are closest. And every decision could lead her to the edge of the abyss.

In University of Everly there's no room for weakness-only the bravest will make it out alive.

In the cloistered halls of Corveth Academy of Thaumaturgy & Arcane Discipline-where ancient magic is studied like scripture and students are expected to bleed brilliance-Evanthe Corven has always known she was being watched. By professors, by monsters, and by two very different boys who orbit her like opposing stars: Callum Throne, the golden prodigy with a twisted smile and secrets stitched into his skin, and Lysander Vale, the brooding intellectual with black eyes, barbed words, and a hunger for things he refuses to name. Torn between them, Evanthe searches for truth in a school that thrives on half-lies, while her past unravels like a spell gone wrong. But the real danger isn't the love triangle or the curses buried beneath the library floor. It's her best friend. Mallicent Graves doesn't believe in fate, or romance, or mercy. She's here to protect Evanthe-and she enjoys destruction a little too much. Unapologetically feral, razor-witted, and dressed like death's favorite daughter, Mallicent has no patience for the boys hovering around Evanthe. Especially Lysander. Which makes it inconvenient when he starts seeing her. And worse-when she starts seeing him back. As the academy descends into chaos and blood rites resurface from the shadows of history, alliances are questioned, obsessions bloom, and every lesson comes at a cost. Some hearts are meant to be broken. Others are meant to burn. In a world where knowledge is power and affection is weakness, what survives when the spell breaks-love, loyalty, or the girl who never asked to be chosen?

Still mysteries and pieces to put together. Every single person has a secret. The question is... What're you hiding? And why? Remember... If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. I suck at descriptions honestly just read with book ;) Here's a fun snippet: "You kissed them?" Chase whispers to me. "No! Well yes and no, kind of. Now's not the fucking time," I stop myself from rambling. "Put the gun down," Louis demands. "Or we will shoot!" "What if I shoot first," I challenge. "Five of us and two of you. You knock down one or two of us we'll have your name on a gravestone," Louis grins evilly. "Are you underestimating my shooting skills?" I question. "Do you want to find out," Louis dares. "No! No the fuck we don't," Chase yells. He shoots me a 'what the fuck is wrong with you' look and I shrug.

BEFORE YOU READ- DISCLAIMER! The main character is blunt, hates life and is very vulgar and hateful towards everyone and everything . However there is a reason for this. She is strong-headed and short-tempered, ill-mannered and disrespectful (though some may say in a loveable way). If this isn't for you, then I wouldn't suggest reading this book. It's about character development and personal growth. - Kody Lawrence is not normal. On the contrary, she's everything but. When the hot-headed, short-tempered, rude new girl arrives in the small town of Raven Hollow, Maine, most people are put off by her unexpected and -considering her horrible attitude and pessimism- unwanted appearance. However, despite her constant locked jaw, clenched fists and cold glare, Lilah Johansson, Kody's appointed 'buddy', can't help but want to be her new friend in spite of their not-so-impressive first impression. But Lilah is not to be sold separately, and with the friendly redhead comes four boys with charming smiles and welcoming arms that hide their own secrets and covered-up lies. Amongst the group of five, Dakota Black is the one who stands out with his calculating eyes and kind heart, and while Kody has no intention to stick around longer than a few months, he might just be the one to change that. With a duffel bag of money, a box-filled with different identities, a pocket full of problems and a closet stacked to the brim with secrets, Kody's quiet and peaceful Senior year takes a couple of unexpected turns. The only question is: Are they for better or for worse? ___ (Small disclaimer: The first few chapters aren't the greatest, but I took some time off from writing this book and came back to it when I'd gotten a bit better with writing, so if you can get past the rocky start, hopefully you won't regret it). ___ Re-published: 7.4.18 (7th of April) Finished: 9.3.20 (9th of March) Currently editing and correcting mistakes / plot holes. (Editing chapters at random)

"Two academic rivals must unravel a corruption case while battling the undeniable chemistry between them." Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it. The case involves uncovering corruption within the legal field, requiring them to dig into sensitive areas and connect various pieces of evidence. This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets. Logan, who has been burned by betrayal in the past, keeps his walls high and remains distant from others, especially Ava, who he sees as someone who plays the social game too well. On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.
