Hollywood High Chronicles

Even after all we've been through, I still marvel at the oddity and wonder of this place, its halls filled with all walks of life. Sure, you have your usual high school stereotypes--the burners, the jocks, the drones, the preppies, the mean girls--but you also have a collection of artists, energy workers, and all-around misfits like me. This is my place at Hollywood High School for the Performing Arts. Here, I can be a creature of exploration... open, discovering, accepted... finally... It was worth taking this chance. Or was it? With my intuition quaking, I face the life-or-death nightmare of being hunted-and I mean that literally-by one of the most popular boys in school. Let's hope my metaphysical side, my boyfriend Trey, and my ragtag new group of friends are enough to pull me out of the fire.

Condemned to face her inner turmoil, Melanie has choices to make. Will she find solace, or death, in her spiraling psyche? As Melanie takes on her collapsing world, her new Dark Water side proves far more unstable and combative than she anticipates. And if that isn't enough? Two captivatingly gorgeous energy workers, Adam and Trey, vie for her heart while manipulating her will. Now Melanie must choose between drowning in self-destruction or accepting the Dark Water version of herself. Love, death, betrayal, and empathic abilities reign supreme in this metaphysical thriller. Welcome to Dark Water. Take the plunge into the abyss . . .

The saga continues... Melanie Slate and her group of street savvy misfits square off against a new threat, one that turns Hollywood High into an unlivable prison ruled by a Napoleonic master. Thanks to their unique blend of witty banter, metaphysical brilliance, and general badassery, Melanie, Trey, Adam, and the rest of the gang uncover layers to their new and shockingly militant reality. Invade their turf, and they'll defend it to the death. Underestimate them. They dare you. What happens when they're cornered? Just wait and see

To high school freshman and energy worker Melanie Slate, the only thing worse than no love is too much of it. As she faces indecision about her love life, Melanie finds herself wrapped up in a stalker-killer situation that lands her in jail on a phony assault charge. Her introduction to the seedier underbelly of Hollywood leads to a host of new allies, including brothel workers, a motorcycle gang, and a collective of hot young surfers. Now they just need to figure out how to band together to keep an energy working serial killer from claiming Melanie as his next victim. The bright side? A gorgeous heartthrob known on the surf circuit as Riptide. Melanie needs a hero, but you know how it goes in this world full of misfits: Nothing comes without a price. What happens when paradise isn't perfect? When it all starts boiling, it's time to gut up, because this baby's going to burn!

How can a home fall apart so quickly? Any trust Melanie Slate has left for her husband, Trey Valdez, is obliterated on a wave of Trey's fury. With nowhere to run, and no willingness to face her crumbling marriage, Melanie's world boils down to one option. Lucky for her, a hero steps up to shelter her from hopelessness. Two flames ignite, and a soft glow erupts into a blazing wildfire fueled by two-hundred-plus lifetimes of tragic kindling. This might not be so bad, though. Melanie likes it hot... And Demitri Cantrell is certainly blazing hot. The problem is that everyone else thinks so, too, and Demitri loves a good ego stroke.
