At the elite and secretive St. Alderic's Academy, nothing is ever as it seems-especially for Everly Winter, a transfer student with a past cloaked in tragedy. Accepted under mysterious circumstances, she quickly realizes she's not just an outsider-she's a target. Whispers follow her down shadowed corridors, and eyes she can't see are always watching.
Haunted by the accident that destroyed her family and the secrets buried in its wake, Everly hoped this fresh start would silence the ghosts. But St. Alderic's is anything but a sanctuary. The halls pulse with history, wealth, and danger. The school thrives on legacy-and Everly has none.
Then there are the three boys.
Riven-moody and magnetic, the campus outcast with a reputation for destruction.
Jax-smiling and charming, but with a cruel glint in his eyes.
Landon-controlled, calculating, and terrifyingly observant.
Each of them is drawn to her-and each has ties to the academy's most carefully guarded secrets. As Everly gets closer to the truth, notes appear in her room, her things are moved, and she's certain: someone is watching. Someone knows who she is.
The past she tried to escape is no longer behind her.
It's waiting in the shadows.
And this time, it wants more than just her silence.

ALPHA WAVE
When my parents kicked the bucket, I thought that was the universe's way of saying "screw you" to me. But little did I know, life had an even bigger "screw you" in store. Then one sunny summer day out of nowhere, the Infected appeared. And man, were they ugly. Feral, bloodthirsty, savage beasts that looked like they'd been hit with the ugly stick- no scratch that- the ugly tree one too many times. But fear not, for Phoenix Corp arrived on the scene, wielding their science skills like superheroes. They cooked up a cure that saved the day, rescued us from the Infected menace. Or so we thought.... Suddenly, everything I knew was turned on its head when Phoenix agents showed up at my door at midnight and demanded access. I never thought I'd find myself allied with the Infected, the very creatures I saw as my mortal enemy. It's like friends became foes and foes became friends, and I'm left questioning everything I ever believed. But hey, at least I've got a front-row seat to the apocalypse. It's a wild ride, and I'm strapped in for the long haul. Who knows what craziness is yet to come? Oh, did I mention the infected had mouthwatering abs?

The Rule Of Elites
She was a girl ensnared by secrets and scars. He was a boy forged from power and frost. When an enigma collides with an Elite, they must either heal or descend into their own hell to survive. --- Seventeen-year-old Elaine Winters has one goal: to endure the torment of her bullies and ignore the new student who seems utterly out of place in their small town and public school. Alexander White is a boy she needs to stay away from-stunningly handsome, immensely rich, and dangerously cold. He is privileged beyond any normal measure. Catching his attention was a chance mistake. His relentless pursuit of her friendship, an anomaly. And when it turns into something deeper, it becomes the ultimate disaster in the making. But when buried secrets emerge from their caskets, Winter finds herself pulled into his world of city lights, power, mind games, and the elite atmosphere of boarding school. Soon, everything she thought she knew about the boy from her town is turned upside down. He becomes everything her heart dreads-and a danger her mind warns her of. She is his obsession, and he is her curse. Every belief is tested, but none of them is bound to win against the rule of Elites.

The Scars of Grandrews Academy
Before the Trio ever set foot in Grandrews Academy, their fathers were the kind of men who changed the world quietly-three brilliant scientists working at VESPER Genomics, a company that promised miracles and delivered secrets instead. They were geniuses. Pioneers. Men who dug too deep. And suddenly, they were gone. One "suicide." One disappearance. One unexplained illness. Three tragedies that never felt like coincidences. Three families ripped apart and shoved into the shadows. Their daughters-Elsa, MJ, and Lilah-were left with pieces that didn't fit. Missing files. Unasked questions. A silence so heavy it felt intentional. Years later, Grandrews Academy comes calling. A perfect school with perfect opportunities. Full scholarships. Guaranteed futures. And an interest in the Trio that makes no sense. Because Grandrews doesn't invite girls like them. It recruits them. The halls are too polished. The staff too watchful. The donors too familiar with their names... and their fathers' work. The closer the Trio look, the more the past claws back- whispers about VESPER, rumors about rituals, hints that their fathers were involved in something far bigger, far darker, and far from over. Grandrews Academy has been waiting for them. Not because of who they are- but because of where they come from. Their fathers tried to protect them. Tried to warn them. Tried to fight something no one should have been fighting alone. Now it's the Trio's turn to face what their fathers left behind. And at Grandrews, the past isn't buried. It breathes.
