But behind their perfect smiles lurks something darker. When a child is pulled from the river, the Harrisons' flawless image begins to crack. Days later, they're brutally murdered. And the only suspect? Amara. Now branded a killer, hunted by the town, and haunted by memories she doesn't fully trust, Amara must uncover the Harrisons' secrets before the truth buries her alive.

Naomi Brooks is everything he's not-pure, soft-spoken, raised on hymns and hallelujahs. A church girl with a kind heart and a secret longing for something more. Dave East is everything she's been warned about-ruthless, feared, raised on pain and silence. A man who doesn't beg, doesn't break, and doesn't believe in salvation. But when a quiet prayer crosses paths with a silent war, Naomi becomes the one light in Dave's dark world. And he'll burn it all down to protect her. As their worlds collide, secrets unravel, blood is spilled, and faith is tested. Because some love stories aren't about fairy tales... They're about survival. And when Dave finally uncovers the truth about who killed his mother, love might not be enough to stop him from getting revenge.

Heartbreak Weather by lousfineline

Sometimes people sneak on you and suddenly you fail to remember how you ever lived without them. Causing the only road to heaven to be a consistent of moving on but not necessarily forgetting them. While overthinking sucks, everyone is familiar with its cruelty. Pessimism is always just the cherry on top of it all. With Octavia Marshall, she indeed had that cherry on top, aside with a saying she believed in...all promises are meant to be broken. Black Rodriguez, a not so ordinary guy with a troubled past, a generally bad relationship with life. Intertwining himself with the wrong business, his old mistakes lead him to a secret agreement that turns into more than that, a strange pull between two love incapable souls. Heartbreak, regret, misery, and pain interfere. Will she be able to handle the secrets behind those grey orbs? Will that saying she goes by in fact turn out real or not?

Highest rank ~#2 in teen fiction ~ "I'm going to ruin you." "You've already ruined my reputation so, why not go farther?" Seventeen year old senior, Deja James has never had a squeaky clean image. Sure she gets detentions, but to say she's a troublemaker is a straight up lie. Besides skipping some classes, she's a semi-good kid with semi-good intentions. Cameron Mills is quite the opposite. He gets suspended all of the time and to say he's a troublemaker is an understatement. He fights and has brass knuckles with him at all times. He even failed his grade two times, causing him to be a nineteen year old senior. When Deja gets in the middle of one of Cameron's fights, she gets put into a wrong place, wrong time situation. Now, the school will forever know her as the accomplice. An accomplice is a person who actively participates in a crime, even if they take no part in the actual criminal offense. And what's worse than wrongfully being labeled such? Being treated like crap. Read and you'll see how Deja's life slowly changes based on her new title of the bad boy's accomplice. ~There are a lot of chapters, but they're not that long.
