His grandma has severe Alzheimers which rules her out for a normal conversation because she can't remember him for more than a few minutes at a time.

To make matters worse, there isn't much to do in their little town besides swim at the lake.
But things don't seem so bad when Piper meets Grace, a jet-haired girl he meets at the Forever Carnival.
The Forever Carnival is the city fair that resides on the grounds all year round with a strange past and a exceeding reputation.
What lies is mystery, danger, and betrayal. Come one and all!

The Realm Thief
This is a stand-alone novel. However, if you are reading the series, read it as book 2.5 for timeline order. After inheriting her grandmother's gift shop, Amber is trying to rebuild her life. This means bills, debt, and a life trajectory into hoards of cluttered trinkets that she thinks are nothing more than cheap gimmicks. If that wasn't bad enough, her dreams have started to feel a little too real lately, and when she wakes up cradling an impossibly ancient artefact, she's about to discover a world of magic that couldn't possibly exist. It's a good job that one of her local customers, an enigmatic stranger whose eyes burn with secrets and whose presence crackles with dangerous allure, seems to know what's happening. The problem is that he seems to be the craziest thing about it all, especially when he boldly claims his life mission is to protect her. His intensity leaves her bewildered and undeniably drawn to him. Each encounter is charged with an irresistible magnetism, and she is unsure if being awake is even real anymore. Unfortunately, Amber wishes she knew what he was supposed to protect her from. Before finding out, she must figure out the secret of staying awake long enough. ~ Set in the world of Iridescent ~

But when being a superhero turns out to mainly involve boring work that does not get her the immediate popularity she craves, she shifts gears and becomes a villain. Trigger warning: contains descriptions of physical and emotional abuse, blood and gore. Excerpt from chapter 2: I carefully begin pouring the white powder onto the floor, drawing a large pentagram. I spend a lot of time on the intricate details, making sure everything is perfect. The summoning circle quite small, but it will have to do. I clap my hands twice and hear a soul-crushing scream that appears to pierce my body to its core. Hearing the sound fills my stomach with butterflies and gives me a fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard a single sound in almost a year. Following the scream, a shadowy figure emerges. He appears deep black, littered with stars, as if a human-like shape has been carved out of the universe, but also strangely transparent, as if made of glass. His long arms end in clawed fingers, and his ears and horns are goat-like in appearance. On his back are two bat-like wings. He speaks in a deep voice-the only one I've heard in a long time. "Mortal, why have you awoken me from my slumber?"Completa
