Anger, Resentment, Jealousy, Rage, Violence, Hate and Fear. For eighteen years, this is all I've known. When everything seemed to crash and burn around me, I could always count on those seven things to get me through. At least that's how it was until Isabelle. With one brief look across a crowded parking lot, she altered my entire existence. Erasing all of the things I thought I could count on and replacing them with ones of her own. Things that even now, a year later, I still don't think I deserve. Forgiveness, Understanding, Acceptance, Friendship, Redemption, Hope and Love. So what do you do when you've been given all of these things by the most beautiful person on the planet with nothing...
Well here we are. Senior Year. A year that by definition means I'll be one of about 300 other kids running my school. Greenville High. I know what you're all thinking. "Oh no, here comes the book about the virgin wallflower who the popular guy meets and instantly falls for." Wrong. I'm not an ugly duckling that the cool cats use to make themselves look like even bigger jerks, and I'm definitely not a wallflower, though that whole virginal thing, well that's really none of your business. I'm just the girl more interested in taking pictures and playing on her acoustic than getting caught up in the petty drama that four years of high school is guaranteed to create. Until Christian. I know, I kn...
There are people that tell you high school is the best time of your life. They lied. High school is horrible when you're like me and you're autistic. They think that because I don't talk and I seem to always be lost in my own world, I'm stupid or deaf. Some even think I'm retarded. I'm none of those things and I don't like that word. Just because I've got these issues, doesn't mean it's all I am. There's a lot more to me, but no one really takes the time to get to know it. At least that's how it was until Kayden. Kayden Walker is bad news. He spends his time making people that are different, like me, feel even worse about themselves and he does it with a smile. He's everything I don't need in my life, yet he's the one person I can't seem to live without. Underneath, there's more to him that he's afraid to let the rest of the world see. I've seen it and as I'm finding out, we're not so different after all...

A father convicted of criminal mischief and sentenced to twenty years in prison. A mother who's so lost in the bottom of a bottle of pills, most days I'm not even sure she knows her own name. You'd think with role models like that, I'd know what to avoid. But if you know anything about me at all, nothing simple is ever really that simple. Cadence changed all of that. Making me feel and experience things that for the last eleven years I thought were only meant for fairy tales and dreams. She gave me my heart back, bringing hope and faith along for the ride, until all I could hear was her. She became my world, a beginning with no end, and it was so damn beautiful that I started to believe there was nothing that would ever tear us apart. Until something, or rather someone did. Me. I've been told that love isn't about trying, failing and giving up when things get hard. That real love is continuing to try despite it, so just like a year ago, I'm going to do it again, and this time around our beginning will have an end. Cadence and Dillon together. Forever. I'm in the fight of my life and this time, I don't plan to lose.
Megan’s temper lands her in Girderon Academy, an exclusive school founded in a town of misfit supernatural creatures. It’s the one place she should be able to fit in, but she can’t. Instead, she itches to punch the smug sheriff in his face, pull the hair from a pack of territorial blondes, and kiss the smile off the shy boy’s face. Unfortunately, she can’t do any of that, either, because humans are dying and all clues point to her. With Megan’s temper flaring, time to find the real killer and clear her name is running out. As much as she wants to return to her own life, she needs to embrace who and what she is. It’s the only way to find and punish the creature responsible.
From USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg comes a poignant story about young love that will stick with you long after the last page. Head down. Don’t look up. Never make eye contact. Those were the words I lived by growing up, the words that protected me in a house where men frequented, but did not stay. But, even with all the rules and warnings, I couldn’t keep them all away. I couldn’t keep him away. Hoping to leave behind the shattered life of my past, I find myself in a small town, with an aunt I’ve never met and at a school I loathe. But soon I learn, not everything in this world is as black and white as I’ve determined. Sometimes those we are so quick to judge need a second or third time to make a first impression. And often, there are friendships and even love—real love, waiting just around the corner, if we are brave enough to take that first step. Am I brave? Or will I hide behind these tattered gloves of mine forever?

Or does love truly conquer all? ***WARNING*** This book is rated for mature audiences only, due to sexual content, including violence, sexual violence, and strong language.
