Trusting the bad boy... What could go wrong?It's on my sixteenth birthday that I realize I've never had control over my own life.From my outfits to my hairstyles and even to my love life, my parents made every decision for me. And instead of fighting, I lived by my mantra: keep my head down and keep my mouth shut.Until I'm paired with Brentwood High's resident bad boy, Hudson Bishop. There aren't enough adjectives to describe him. Intimidating. Scary. Panic-inducing. There's a reason the school calls him the Grim Reaper. And when our principal pairs us together for a "buddy program," he makes it perfectly clear he doesn't want to be stuck with a stiff like me.But when I'm voted Most Likely To: Stay A Prude by the elite crowd of the school, suddenly Hudson Bishop is more than just a bad boy-he's a way out from underneath my mother's thumb. He's a path to rebellion, and despite all of the warning bells going off in my head, I take it.I just have to make sure I don't get lost along the way...And it may already be too late.

Halloween really is the worst.Blaire's got to be the only person on the planet who hates Halloween. At least the only person in her small town, which practically worships the holiday. Ugh. And it doesn't help that her super-hot ex-boyfriend, Lucas, is determined to convince her otherwise by making her take part in "festive activities." Apparently carving pumpkins and watching scary movies is going to magically change her mind about the holiday? Yeah, right.But Blaire has never told anyone the truth of why she hates Halloween or the truth about why she broke up with Lucas. She's definitely never told anyone about how much she second-guesses that decision. Being around him is so much harder than she thought, especially when it looks like he's starting to move on.And when she gets a letter in the mail from someone who broke her heart, can Blaire overcome the negativity drowning her? Or will her bitterness and secrets push everyone she loves away?
