Torn between uncovering a prophecy and survival, nothing can be the same. Everything Olivia Rhodes thought she knew has been turned upside down. After watching the Veil break into a thousand pieces before her eyes and then nearly killed by Hunter's not-so-deceased father, she's left bruised and devastated-and with an earth-shattering realization that changes the rules of the game. Hunter Black, the handsome neighbor with deep blue eyes who could stop time with a snap of his fingers, is now gone, but there's a lot more at stake than any of them could have ever imagined. Trying to cope with his absence and the endless secrets he left behind, Olivia ventures into the hidden world of the Circle, who have finally made their great return. Their sudden presence and interest in fixing the ravages left behind by Vincent's doings seems too suspicious, and if Olivia hadn't been so frustrated trying to understand her own powers, which appear to be shining through at a higher rate with every passing day, she wouldn't have noticed Adam Pierce, a skilled Circle member who has made it his mission to make her life impossible. His attitude alone is enough to drive her away, but he seems to know a bit too much about the Circle's secrets and her own, making it impossible for Olivia to escape his little games. There's a secret that she must keep at all costs, and when her mind suddenly starts playing tricks on her, she starts to lose the ability to tell between what's real and what's not. The problem? If the Circle or the Infernal Council find out the truths she is slowly uncovering, they'll kill her. But as the rogue Forgotten who managed their escape through the cracking Veil begin to cause havoc, and Vincent starts to close in on her, Olivia is running out of options. She needs to get Hunter back before the Veil consumes itself, and if she doesn't figure out who she can trust-and fast-it's not only her heart that will be torn apart, but the world itself.

𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: Stranger Summer Reads Destined to meet. Destined to fall apart. He was the worst thing that could've happened to her, and yet she was the best thing that could've happened to him. Olivia Rhodes has never been one to care much about someone's past, on who they were or what has made them become the person they are now. Her world is seemingly perfect: a humorous best friend, two loving parents, her baby sister-who cries a bit too much-and a bright future waiting for her once senior year is over. But her life would unwind into a world of secrecy when her neighbor suddenly moves out and someone else moves in. Hunter Black is the new guy in town, and everyone is talking about him. Handsome, charming, and mysterious, it almost seems like he acts as a beacon for attention-good and bad. Olivia wouldn't have cared about him in a normal situation, but it seems like the closer she gets to him, the more she finds herself lost in a world she didn't even think existed. There's something about Hunter that she wants to understand, uncover the complex web of lies that is building around him. And she's going to have a good reason for doing so when she finds out she's the only one who can see him in his true self. ---------------------- 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒: -Runner-up on the Spring Book Awards 2019 with a score of 98/100 -First place in the Paranormal Category on the April Blue Rose Awards ---------------------- 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 07/23/2016 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃: 07/08/2019 CURRENTLY EDITING (LIKE, HEAVILY EDITING) ⚠️ 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑: Chapters ARE long since they all carry a good amount of content and have the actual length of a physical book chapter, so I do apologize if that's not what you like.
