In this dangerous game with time, someone's bound to lose. Seventeen-year-old Saige Phillips can't help holding on to the hope that she'll find Chloe, her twin who went missing five years ago. After all, Saige sees echoes of Chloe sitting in the window and skipping down the stairs. Though there's never been any sound associated with Saige's "hallucinations," she's freaked out by the breathing she hears in her bedroom. The breathing is definitely real, and it's definitely not coming from Saige. It's echoing through a time rift that originates in Saige's bedroom. Then a grayed-out guy shows up, saying his name is Price and he's from the future. He has the same blue film clinging to him that Saige has seen on Chloe, and she seizes onto the idea that her twin went through the rift. As Saige searches for answers in her time, she's met with secret after secret, all coming back to one source: her physicist mother. Price lives in the year 2073 with his Time Keeper father and a whole slew of global initiatives that regulate time travel. He knows time shouldn't be played with. What he doesn't know is why the rift opened now, or how he can stop it. The deeper Price digs, the harder the truth is to swallow. His father willfully violating the global time travel initiative is one thing. Stealing the rift site from Saige's mother is quite another. And kidnapping-or worse-to cover everything up takes things too far. When the rift begins to show signs of overuse and instability, Price is desperate to close it before it explodes while Saige will do anything to keep it open long enough to find Chloe. In this dangerous game with time, someone's bound to lose.

Ashes to Light is a heart-stirring tale of friendship, love, and the fire it takes to survive. It all began in high school-four friends who had nothing but each other. Lyra, Riaan, Ayan, and Meher weren't just classmates-they were a lifeline. Through heartbreaks, scraped knees, late-night rooftop talks, and fierce loyalty, their bond felt unbreakable. But growing up means facing shadows you never saw coming. When a mysterious and dangerous boy named Zee enters their world, everything changes. What starts as quiet threats escalates into a deadly game, one that shatters innocence and tests love in its rawest form. As Lyra is dragged into the storm, the others fight to bring her back-even if it means risking everything. Years later, battle-worn and grown, they meet again. What was once fractured begins to heal. And from the ashes of their past, something unshakable rises. A story of survival. Of second chances. Of the kind of love-and friendship-that chooses to stay.

Unfortunately, Colin Maverick is the prince of their Kingdom, a scattered puzzle that I so badly want to piece together.

Cassidy lives like most other under 21s - she follows the law. She knows that if she doesn't, she risks being taken away. Rebellious behaviour cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, especially with her parents watching her every move. The rules have been in place for a long time - the Democrats have beaten the Republicans in the New Elections for the past 60 years, with their names being the only recognisable aspects of their parties when comparing to the past. Anyone that chooses not to follow the rules can drop out and become what's known as an Outcast, but then you risk being imprisoned. While America seems to be running perfectly under these laws, a rebellion is stirring among the professionals. With secrets and lies in government and families alike to change the future of America forever, Cassidy finds herself caught up in the middle of the all out war that is about to break out. What she thought she knew about her world is about to change forever, bringing everyone she knows down with her. DISCLAIMER 2016/2017: This book is a few years old at this point, and due to the political uproar in American in 2016 I feel the need to make this abundantly clear. Outcasts takes place in a dystopian world in an undetermined year in the future, and the political parties depicted in this story - the Republicans and the Democrats - are in no way, shape or form a commentary on their real-life counterparts. I had very little knowledge of American politics when I wrote this story, and if I could go back and change their names I would. Throughout the story you will read of absurd flaws in both party agendas, and in no way did I ever intend to shame or defame the real life Republican and Democratic parties of America. See them as purely fictitious - that's what they are, after all.

The story follows four high school friends-Jax, Maya, Leo, and Sarah whose lives are shattered when a late-night break-in at the school library reveals a hidden underground 'Archive'. Inside, they find leather-bound books containing every detail of their lives, written in wet ink by an unseen hand. The horror peaks when they realize their stories stop abruptly in 24-hours, sparking a frantic race against a "Reset" meant to erase their memories and reset their lives. As they battle the school janitor, 'Old Man Miller', who serves as the story's "Cleaner," they discover a heartbreaking truth: their reality is a scripted sanctuary created to shield them from the pain of growing up. The emotional core of the novel shifts when it is revealed that 'Leo' is the original Author; a century ago, he was a lonely child dying in a hospital who imagined this world to keep his friends "alive" forever. To give his friends a chance at true freedom, Leo is forced to cross out his own name, destroying the dream world and ending the loop. The story concludes with a powerful, circular twist in the year 2026, where a new generation of teenagers discovers Leo's silver pen. This final moment suggests that while the individual characters may fade, the spirit of their rebellion and the bond of their friendship remain an eternal, unerasable force.
