Living With The Giants
Tess thought she was just like every other teenage girl. But her life couldn't be further from ordinary. Tess lives in a world far from Earth-a planet humanity fled to centuries ago after destroying their home. This new world offers refuge but is ruled by giants, beings towering in size yet surprisingly similar to humans. They have families, jobs, schools, and communities, but not all of them welcome their human neighbors. To some, humans are nothing more than pests invading their world. When Tess's mother falls in love with Brian Taylor-a kindhearted giant-Tess finds herself leaving the familiar safety of the human quarters to live among giants for the first time. It's a terrifying new world for her, one of enormous proportions, where everything feels strange, overwhelming... and dangerous. If adjusting to life with Brian wasn't enough, Tess now has to share her home with his son, Austin-a giant her age who is infuriatingly handsome and an even bigger jerk. Between navigating a new school, making friends, and avoiding trouble with humans and giants alike, Tess's life becomes anything but simple. But everything changes when Tess crosses paths with Darrick. Unlike the other giants, Darrick seems to linger in the shadows, keeping to himself with a quiet intensity that draws Tess in. He's mysterious, secretive, and carries a weight that he refuses to explain. Despite his aloof nature-or perhaps because of it-Tess finds herself captivated by him. Darrick seems to understand her struggles in a way no one else does, but as she's drawn deeper into his world, she begins to wonder what secrets he's hiding... and if her curiosity will lead her into danger. A new home. A new school. New friends... and a forbidden connection with a giant whose secrets might change everything. In a world divided by size, culture, and prejudice, Tess must decide if love is worth risking everything-or if some walls are too high to climb.

And deep beneath the moonlit branches, the garden watches, waiting to decide who is worthy, who is false, and who must be unmade.Complete
