    Summary

    Sixteen-year-old Avery Hastings has a relatively normal life: learning to drive, trying his best not to fail algebra, and helping his best friend Derek Hutchins–the human Vessel of an eldritch entity known as the King in Yellow–stay safe from secret government agents who want to find him after their breakneck escape from the Department of Metaphysical Sciences nearly six months ago. Things get crazy sometimes, but Avery wouldn’t have it any other way.
    Behind the scenes, however, new threats are brewing. The Department has been infiltrated by another entity like the King: powerful, incomprehensible, and intent on ushering in an age of madness, assisted by its human worshipers in the Department and elsewhere. With the government agency responsible for curbing metaphysical threats compromised, and Derek’s eldritch ‘episodes’ worsening, Avery, Derek, their friend Alex, and an unlikely ally from within the organization will have to figure out a way to prevent the apocalypse themselves.

    Summary

    On New Year's Eve of 2025, Avery has a maybe-fake experience that changes his life. With no way to figure out who Derek is— was— if he was even real, or if they actually saved the world, Avery tries to leave it behind. But he's haunted by what he saw, and what he failed to do, in that Minecraft world as the clock ticked into the New Year.
    And then, just as he thinks maybe he can finally move on, Derek finds him. He's alive, and mostly intact, and Avery allows the relief and joy of seeing his friend in real life to overshadow the cracks creeping through Derek's even-keeled facade. As they draw closer, however, Avery finds it harder and harder to ignore— until he realizes that maybe the world isn't as saved as he thought it was.

    Summary

    A spell muttered off of dying lips.
    The window opens.
    And suddenly, the world turns gold.

     There's a special type of stupidity that comes with the DeCruise family name.
    And, unfortunately for fate, Avery is a prime example of it.

     

    Avery won't let his own efforts go to waste.
    Derek isn't dying. Not today.

    But things tend to happen.

    Or, in which a house is broken into, mirrors shatter under gazes, and the gates might not be closed just yet.

    Summary

    “Flowers for Algernon” was referenced in the first book Avery found in the library. Avery finds D3rlor— no, Derek, a few weeks later in the middle of a busy street. How is Avery sure that’s Derek? Because he’s rasping Avery’s full name, student ID, and telling strangers how “Left” is a horrible direction.

    A.K.A: He’s alive, but not well. The boys learn what proper communication is as they journey through the stages of brain damage recovery (and the first step of that is acceptance, contrarily).
