Ms. Sinclair's Secret
| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"
Unlucky
Irene needs the world to change. As she starts her third year of college, she's realized that she can't keep living the same way anymore. After being broken up with her boyfriend, she starts to realize that something is off. Her over-thinking habits have gotten her into trouble before, but she's learning that they're leading her toward something new. Something that she's never dared to think of before, and something that's encouraging her to reach out to Lucia, a recent transfer student who's able to change Irene's perspective on everything - including her sexuality. She knew that her third year of college would be difficult, but her awful luck is ruining everything. Balancing imposter syndrome, work, and life in general is already hard enough, the last thing she needs is an identity crisis. But, like her luck, she doesn't have power over anything that's coming at her. It turns out that she's the one that needs to change, not the world. If she wants any chance at changing her luck, she must learn how to control it. Read this story to see how Irene breaks free from her family's standards, her own fears, and the past.

Fire and Ice: The Hidden Bloodlines by Rece Brown
Fire and Ice: The Hidden Bloodlines At Blairgoridge Academy, nothing is ever as it seems. Beneath its gothic spires and storm-lashed landscape, secrets older than the school itself lie buried-secrets bound in blood and guarded by stone. Haley Carmichael arrives expecting rigorous classes, eccentric teachers, and the suffocating rules of boarding school life. What she doesn't expect is Hannah-a girl whose piercing eyes feel hauntingly familiar, whose past is as scattered and shadowed as her own. When a chance encounter in the showers reveals identical dragon-shaped birthmarks, the girls realize their lives are woven together by something deeper than coincidence. Drawn into hidden corridors, cursed vaults, and forbidden dreams, Haley and Hannah are thrust into a mystery that traces back to the Founders of Blairgoridge. As gargoyles stir, storms whisper, and ancient magic awakens, the girls must confront the truth about their bloodlines-and the destiny that could unite them, or tear them apart. Some legacies are carved in fire. Others in ice. Together, they will discover which one runs in their veins.Complete

Lights at the ends of tunnels: Thirty (GxG)
In 1992, Jane lost her best friend in the whole world: her stepsister, María. With her went her emotional centre, her sense of self-worth. But now, maybe, she thinks she may have found her again. But will the reunion be everything she wanted? How will the years apart have changed them? Explicit, with references to self-harm and eating disorders, this is a passionate and emotional read. Praise for Thirty: "Beautiful story. The quick moving plot was still full of detail, heartache, and character development. Thanks for sharing!" author CreatingKate "There's a manic energy to the opening page and I picture Jane rocking, clenching in anguish at losing Maria. That mania that hollowed her out, that fed self-harm, that threaten to snuff her out.. She was lucky to survive and surely it was Maria that kept her going and fuelled the obsessive search? Then what do you do when you meet your salvation? How do you deal with that? Now we know, or at least we know how you lived it. This was so real, it didn't read like fiction. Raw and beautiful. Thank you." author stickygirlComplete
Lip Gloss And Leather Jackets || Completed
Every year, Regal High School hosts a tutoring competition. They take the smartest students and assign them an understudy, whom they have to teach; the tutor whose understudy gets the highest marks for the year-end exam wins. It might not seem like that big of a deal, but to the population of the school - it is. Angel Gracelynn, a straight A student, is elected to have an understudy. Her competitive streak is only fuelled when she learned that her rival, Jaxon Lincoln, had been nominated for the competition too. The stakes get even higher when Jaxon threatens to release a video that would be very, very dangerous to her reputation if she loses. Despite that, it seems easy enough for her - it was far from the hardest battle Angel had fought. Except a wrench is thrown into her plans when she finds out who she's supposed to tutor: Maxine Grifes, the most intimidating girl in her high school. Thank you to @genusbiblio for the wonderful cover!Complete
