When top student Ophelia Rose trades her sleepy hometown for the glittering skyscrapers of New York City, she expects culture shock-not a mystery. Sent to live with grandparents she's never met and attend the city's most elite academy, Ophelia must navigate snobby classmates (especially Cooper, whose smug smile she'd love to wipe off) while chasing her lifelong dream of Harvard.
But as she settles into her new life, whispers of something darker begin to swirl: the school's brightest pupils are vanishing without a trace. Determined not to become the next to disappear, Ophelia launches her own investigation-using every ounce of her top-of-the-class mind to follow breadcrumbs from shadowed hallways to glittering penthouse parties.
With Cooper reluctantly at her side, old rivalries give way to uneasy alliances, and buried family secrets emerge, threatening to upend everything Ophelia thought she knew about her parents-and the grandparents who'll do anything to keep the past buried.
In a city that never sleeps, can Ophelia unravel the truth before it's lights out for good?

BLOOD BOUND
She was supposed to stay in the shadows. But fate led her straight into the arms of danger.

Becky is beautiful, brilliant, and deadly-leader of the elite Nightshade Society and hiding a secret no human should ever uncover. But Freen isn't like the others. There's something in her blood, something ancient that calls to Becky's darkest instincts. What starts as rivalry quickly spirals into obsession. And when secrets unravel and destiny collide, Freen discovers a terrifying truth: She isn't just drawn to Becky. She was made for her.... And a vampire never lets go of her mate.Concluida

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Concluida
