Books
The halls of Hollywood High are filled with all walks of life. Sure, you have your usual high school stereotypes—the burners, the jocks, the drones, the preppies, the mean girls—but you also have a collection of artists, energy workers, and all-around misfits.
This is Melanie Slate’s place at Hollywood High School for the Performing Arts. Here, she can be a creature of exploration—open, discovering, accepted—finally.
It was worth taking this chance … Or was it?
With her intuition quaking, Melaine face’s the life-or-death nightmare of being hunted—literally—by one of the most popular boys in school. Let’s hope her metaphysical side, her boyfriend, and her ragtag new group of friends are enough to pull her out of the fire.
COME ON IN … THE ENERGY IS JUST FINE.
Condemned to face her inner turmoil, Melanie has choices to make. Will she find solace, or death, in her spiraling psyche?
As Melanie takes on her collapsing world, her new Dark Water side proves far more unstable and combative than she anticipates. As if that isn’t enough? Two gorgeously captivating energy workers, Adam and Trey, vie for her heart while manipulating her will. Now Melanie must choose between drowning in self-destruction or accepting the Dark Water version of herself.
Love, death, betrayal, and empathy, reign supreme in this metaphysical thriller.
Welcome to Dark Water. Take the plunge into the abyss. . .

Melanie Slate and her group of street-savvy misfits square off against a new threat, one that turns Hollywood High into an unlivable prison ruled by a Napoleonic master.
Thanks to their unique blend of witty banter, metaphysical brilliance, and general badassery, Melanie, Trey, Adam, and the rest of the gang uncover layers to their new and shockingly militant reality. Invade their turf, and they’ll defend it to the death. Underestimate them. They dare you.
