"Life  is a series of choices, kiddo. You either choose to trust me or you don't."
  
Sam Grant had always wanted to become an archaeologist and live a life of adventure. But once he leaves for a study camp in the jungle of Yucatan to get him started on a dream career, he finds that his future job is not a problem. Coming out alive, however, is.
  
Faced with his family's oldest enemy who desperately wants him dead, a secret agency who wants him to work for them and the girl of his dreams, Sam is forced to find balance before he loses his head. Literally.
  
Murder, mysterious team mates, ancient traps and the responsibility of bringing everyone back home safely - Maybe Sam is just too young to deal with everything at once.

It was like he was on the verge of dying from starvation if he couldn't taste me. Just when I thought the pleasure couldn't get any stronger, it had been steadily growing to a head and it just...broke. Everythin in me, my soul, my heart, my mind went black, but at the same time lit up so brightly like the sun. I vaguely remember trying to scream Jasper's name, but I'm not sure if it came out or not. *** Cadence is just a normal teenage girl, with a normal life- as far as she knows. She loves her little sister more than anything else in the world, but when she and her sister are forced into the arms of the boys that seem to love them, secrets are uncovered that make Cadence out to be a monster.

An adventure filled with fantastical terrors, where a child becomes a monster, and a monster becomes a legend. *** These were the ominous words the ghost Marmy Jo spoke when foretelling Josiah's future: "Got a world of pain comin' your way, boy-and fast! But, if you make it, you'll come out a stronger beast than many." When a wolf attack leaves Josiah mortally wounded, his sister Credence is forced to abandon him to find help. Where she went, he cannot say, for the last thing he remembers is hearing his heart stop. Josiah, the boy who died, wakes to find the world much changed. Deep within, a horror howls, threatening to tear from his bones at any moment. With his sister gone, Josiah is alone for the first time in his life, and must learn how to survive in the dark, dark woods. But how can an eight-year-old defend against devious spiders, cruel kings, and bloodthirsty titans? And how long can Josiah refuse the call of darkness before he's pulled down a path of chaos and blood? 📚 Book Three of the "Bedtime Story" Series 📚 Content Warning: This story contains violence including death of children, mild language, alcohol and tobacco use.
