The cycle didn't end. It just found a new face.
The boys of St. Jude's Prep survived the night in the Mirror World, but the cost was higher than they ever imagined. The ghosts of Emma, Susan, Karen, Phoebe, and Alexandra have gone dormant, their light extinguished to save the boys' lives. Now, Luke, James, Justin, Adam, and Louis are truly alone in a school that has finally stopped pretending to be safe.
The ancient bone-clock beneath the foundation is still ticking, and the "One in the Tower" has wasted no time in selecting his next target. When a new scholarship student named Alice Thorne arrives-bearing a haunting resemblance to the murdered Alexandra and the surname of the school's dark founder-the boys realize the ritual is entering its most dangerous phase.
As the gear-shaped mark on Luke's back begins to pulse, he realizes he is no longer just a protector. He is a vessel. With his bloodline connecting him to the killer and his eyes starting to reflect the "Between," Luke must fight the urge to claim Alice for the Tower before the Winter Solstice begins.
In a race through restricted 1920s archives and halls filled with shifting mirrors, the boys must find a way to break the "Lease" of St. Jude's. But how do you kill a Shadow that is starting to wear your own face?

PACK LEADER (BxB)
My world was turned upside down the day my mom died from an illness, forcing me to leave everything behind and move in with my aunt miles away. I've always been a grumpy, antisocial kid, but losing her made me even angrier at the world. When I ran into another student at my new school, I couldn't help but snap at him. I had no idea he was the intimidating, stoic Killian Reed. Moments after I snapped at him, he shoved me into the lockers, and I genuinely believed he was going to make my life hell. But then, unexpectedly, he's there to stop a couple of guys from assaulting me. At first, I think it's just a coincidence. Yet, as more trouble seems to follow me and he somehow always appears to save me, I begin to sense there's more to Killian-a secret tied to me. A secret that has to do with this town, and the people in it. *Please check out the chapter 'Before you read' for a list of TW*

I was too young, too innocent to know the troubles that awaited me, lurking silently in the darkness I couldn't yet see. This is a male x male oc book Hope you like it !
