    Summary

    Two unfamiliar players stood across the net. The taller one was hard to miss. She was taller than the rest of the team, lean and muscular, with a high ponytail of pink hair that somehow looked more dangerous than cute. The girl beside her was shorter, but no less intense. Her hair was braided tightly down her back, and her jersey clung to the kind of arms that made Zoey do a double take.

    She smiled and gave a casual wave, trying to be charming. A simple, friendly hello.

    They didn’t wave back.

    They didn’t do anything, actually, just looked at her. Then a coach called them over, and they turned away without a word.

    Zoey blinked, her hand still mid wave. Rude.

    Summary

    Six months after the Idol Awards, Huntr/x is stronger than ever. Rumi and Mira have healed from their trauma, but Zoey has been disappearing. One skipped meal, one careful lie at a time.

    Convinced she failed them when they needed her most, Zoey remains trapped in that moment—convinced she's the weak link they have to carry, perfecting the art of being invisible while standing in the spotlight.

    But even the best disappearing acts eventually come to an end.

    Summary

    The courtroom was cold, not from air conditioning, but from the way her parents refused to look at her.
    Zoey sat still on the too-tall chair, her legs numb, fingers twisted into the hem of her dress until her knuckles went white. No one asked how she was. No one asked what she wanted. She just sat there. Listening. Absorbing.
    Her mother was yelling again. Her father was laughing in that fake, sharp way that meant he was angry and trying to pretend he wasn’t. The judge looked tired. The lawyers looked bored. Everyone had folders and coffee. Everyone had opinions.
    “You don’t love her.”
    “You only want her so you don’t have to pay me.”
    “She cries every time she leaves my house.”
    “She’s scared of you.”
    “She said she wants to stay with me.”

    Summary

    "Something about Ava's small smile, about the comforting warmth of her beside Sara, the familiarity of wandering to class together, the way she didn’t seem to look at Sara as though she expected anything, expecting a way of acting and being and reacting, as though Sara didn’t owe her anything. For the first time since she’d walked into school earlier that morning, Sara felt like she could breathe.

    Maybe, just maybe, this year wasn’t off to an entirely bad start."

    OR
