Jackie Taylor had always been the epitome of perfection- or at least, that's what everyone believed. With her effortless charm and magnetic presence, she ruled the halls of Wiskayok High. But beneath the polished veneer, Jackie harbored a secret animosity towards Callie Mendoza. It was a hatred born of frustration and confusion- although she would never admit it, the things she hated most about Callie were the very things she was drawn to.
On the other hand, Callie Mendoza, ever-vigilant in maintaining her independence, would insist that Jackie Taylor drove her up the wall. Jackie was everything she'd distanced herself from- pristine, put-together, and beloved by everyone. At first glance, Jackie seemed like the embodiment of the superficial world Callie disdained.
In truth, Jackie and Callie's mutual "hatred" was a façade that cloaked a deeper connection- a pull that transcended the boundaries they set.

Summary
KAYA QUINN was nothing if not a Child of God. Religion was stained into the crevices of her skin like the glass that resided in her father's church, embedded into the blood that ran through her veins. There was no beautiful way to explain the way it burnt her body; ignited a fire inside of her rotten, rotten soul.
The burning, though, those smoldering, licking flames under her skin claimed their territory inside of her far before she could ever have any say in it. Far before she could decide what was right and what was wrong. They burnt and bled into the parts of another she so desperately tried to ignore. Ignore, ignore, ignore. Pray, repent, repeat. It was no good. She was no good. And truly, had she ever been good?
No. KAYA QUINN was not a Child of God. She was not a saint.
She was a child of the woods.

Summary
Neve can't do emotions. She can't handle the thought of bringing someone else into her mess. So when a wisp interrupts her almost-kiss with Rook, she takes it as a sign and breaks things off entirely. And yet, Neve can't help but feel jealous when someone else sets their eyes on Rook.
or
Neve breaks things off with Rook and then does nothing but pine for her.
