17 year old Willow Brown is done with distractions. After everything that's happened, she's made a promise to herself no more running, no more meaningless hookups, and no more pretending she's fine when she isn't. Moving to a quiet beach town after her mothers job transfer is supposed to be her fresh start, a chance to focus on herself and finally leave the past where it belongs.
17 year old Jack Lacy is the definition of chaos. Fast cars, fast nights, and a smirk that hides more than it shows. He's a player, a liar, and the last person Willow should get close to. From the start, they clash-too stubborn, too sharp, too unwilling to back down.
But hate has a way of turning into something else. And the more they push, the more the tension between them pulls. Soon, they're caught in something neither of them saw coming, something raw, something real.
Yet secrets don't stay buried. Lies always surface. And once the truth is out, there's no turning back.
Because love and hate are a dangerous pair- And some betrayals are beyond repair.
*Note*- this book is very fast paced as a lot happens throughout the span of the book!!!

Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. "I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. "𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍.
