Sixteen-year-old Truth Morales has moved six times in ten years, following her father's military postings and leaving behind every friendship she's ever started. She's learned to pack fast, talk little, and never get attached. But when her family arrives at Fort Drum, New York, something about their new house refuses to stay quiet-especially the attic, where a charming, sarcastic boy named Eli keeps appearing.
The catch? Eli died in 1986.
As Truth unravels the mystery of the boy who haunts her new home, she also faces the ghosts of her own-loneliness, self-doubt, and the fear of being forgotten. Through laughter, late-night banter, and one unforgettable haunting, Truth Be Told becomes a story about connection, healing, and the strange, beautiful ways we save each other-even across a lifetime.
Heartfelt, funny, and haunting in equal measure, this coming-of-age ghost story reminds us that sometimes, the people who change us most are the ones who can't stay.

The Book of Miranda | gxg | ✔︎
Desdemona ''Des'' Winchester wants nothing to do with Melliford Academy. In fact, she's pretty sure her parents shipped her off to boarding school just to get her out of their hair. It's a move they'll come to regret if she has any say in the matter. Nothing humiliates posh folk like having a daughter sent home from the country's most esteemed educational institution. Just flunking class isn't dramatic enough, though. Des plans to get booted in the most spectacular manner possible, just to make sure her parents' social circle will never let them live it down. Her scheming, unfortunately, encounters three roadblocks within the first week of class. The first: Exie Quinnell, teacher's pet, whip-smart, and unreasonably attractive. Neither girl intended to end up on a project together, but their teacher deemed Des in need of a little... remediation. The second: There are things about Melliford Academy that none of the teachers will talk about, even when pressed. Things that should be easy answers. The third: The first student found dead with a folded paper dove perched on their chest. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

Chasing Casey
#1 Mystery | #1 Thriller | #1 Young Adult Have you ever known someone more than you know yourself? Known them so inside out that you could finish their sentences and know what they're thinking, just with a glance? That was Casey and I. We were the ultimate best friends. We knew more than we should about each other. I was hopelessly and undeniably in love with him. I still remember the day perfectly. I wish I could say there was something to hint that it was coming. There was nothing. I thought I knew everything about him. Apparently not. He killed himself and a part of me died along with him. He was dead, and so was I. Or, so I thought. ** Cover by Reachingformorex ** © 2017 by LaurenJ22. All rights reserved.Complete

Caught between living her life and trying to run away from it, Gwen's longing to embrace the sun-kissed wetlands of Louisiana and broaden her previously limited horizons is coming true. But when she discovers the secret her friends have been hiding - a secret that could mean the difference between life and death - she must learn to face her own demons (with a little help from the lovable Creole drag queen down the street), or surrender herself to a tragic reality.

Bitter Sweet Truth✔
Reader, Do you believe in Fate? Do you believe that somewhere, there's a grand plan for each of us? That our lives are written in the stars?That our lives are written for us? If so, then we might as well consider ourselves to be characters...and our lives a story. Or maybe you believe that we fall into our future blindly, drifting from adventure to adventure, our journey zigzagging not according to plan but according to pure chance. Or just maybe, as random and haphazard as our lives seem-maybe that's exactly what the author had in mind. #16 in #thepast as of 14th July, 2018. #63 in #highschoolexperience as of 28th September, 2018. #100 in #highschoolexperience as of 9th July, 2018.Complete
