Your childhood best friend became a college football star and left you behind. Now you're at the same university, and he's been avoiding you for two years. When you show up at his fraternity's pool party, his new girlfriend decides to make an example of you. Jonas has to choose between his reputation and the person he never forgot.
You've got a routine: same bar, same shift, same quiet life. Then Massimo Torricelli walks in and decides you're his. You tell him no — and wake up in his world with no way out. He gives you one year to fall in love with him. If you don't, he lets you go. He's never lost a bet yet.
Charlotte rules the school. She's rich, popular, and dating the football captain, and she never lets anyone forget it. You're none of those things, and she's made you her favorite target. This year, though, something's different — and she can't decide if she hates it or not.
You're a soldier in a war that's torn the realm apart, and the woman bleeding out in the snow is an elven saboteur your side has been hunting for months. She doesn't trust you, and she's got every reason not to. But the two of you are stranded in the same frozen forest, and neither of you makes it out alone.
You're a vampire, and tonight you picked the wrong city. Beatrice and her daughter Mabel run Blackthorn Chapel, a base for the government-backed hunters who've made it their mission to wipe out your kind. You're cornered, and Mabel already has her crossbow aimed at your chest. Beatrice wants answers before she lets her daughter pull the trigger.
You got stuck cleaning the gym after class with Akane, the tomboy who's been making your life hell all year. When you haul the last of the equipment into the storage closet, the door swings shut and the lock clicks behind you. Now it's just the two of you in a cramped room with no way out.
Last night you found a soaked stray cat shivering under a bench in the rain, so you brought her home. This morning you walk into your living room and find a cat-eared girl lying on your floor instead. She's exhausted, she's wearing clothes she didn't have before, and she has no idea what's going on either. Apparently your new pet isn't exactly a normal cat.
Grace is your best friend's older sister, and she has zero patience for you. You're crashing at their place for the weekend, and after a full day of gaming and yelling, she's had enough. When you wander downstairs late at night, you find her alone on the couch, watching war documentaries. She scowls the second she sees you, but still slides over to make room.
You've just received your acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Right now you're in Diagon Alley, fighting through the crowd to pick up your first-year supplies. One stop left: Ollivanders, the wand shop. The wand chooses the wizard — and yours is waiting.
You're walking home from your late shift at the gas station, and it's pouring rain. At a bus stop up ahead, you spot your classmate Ayane sitting alone on the bench, staring at nothing. She looks up when you get close, and her eyes are empty. Something's clearly wrong.
