Adriana has spent years convincing everyone she's perfect. Wealthy, poised, untouchable.

But beneath it all is a girl barely holding herself together. She's insecure about everything, hiding a family scandal that could destroy what's left of her life.

She plans to stay invisible at Arcadia High, drowning in the academic pressure from her mother to go to an "Ivy League school"... until the day she bumps into Elliot Thornevale. Cold, arrogant, and impossible to read. He doesn't even stop when her books hit the floor. But one of his friends does, and that single moment pulls Adriana straight into the world of the IT Circle, the four most powerful boys in the academy.

Elliot starts to watch her with a tension she can't understand. They're dangerous, influential, and tied to the school's oldest secrets. And to her horror, they're suddenly interested in her.

One watches her too closely, another grows far too gentle around her and someone from her past suddenly wants back into her life.

Caught between old wounds, new attention, and boys she never meant to attract, Adriana must protect the one secret that can ruin her family forever...all while surviving Arcadia High's hidden dangers, the academic pressure and the sudden pull she never saw coming.All Rights Reserved

Mystic High ✓ by ivanakeynes

Oriane Moore, the new addition to the Diana Mist College, recently discovered that she is a witch. Or more specifically, a so-called 'elemental'. It's changed her life completely. Aside from the usual hocus pocus, hexes, and talking pets, Oriane, like her fellow classmates, is supposed to have control over at least one of the affinities: Fire. Water. Air. Clay. Energy. It's bad enough being the new girl in town, but to make things worse, she hasn't discovered her affinity yet. Which makes her... pretty much human in a school full of the supernatural. While she tries to come to terms with her new identity, an imminent threat lurks in the corners of the serenely composed school. Life is tough at 'Mystic High'! Highest Ranking: #7 on Paranormal 'Hot' List Contains: Implied Student-Teacher Romance, Implied Violence © Ivana Keynes. All rights reserved. January 2015.

I spun around as much as I could, their grip was strong on my hair. I saw my brown hair in a tight grip, I trailed my eyes up a male's tattooed arm towards a pair of dark grey eyes, his eyelids were red and puffy, as if he had been crying, or he was high. His face was set in a glare, his dark hair, messy, as if all he had done to get ready was shake his head around. It was the guy, Adrien, who was separated from Riley's group. He was tall. I was average height, maybe even slightly above average but Adrien towered over me, I had to look up at him. "What fucking right do you have to come to his school." Adrien snarled. He knew. I didn't know him though. • • • warnings: mature themes and violence, drug abuse, mentions of overdose, mentions of sexual assault
