This wasn’t the way it was supposed to go.

You’re just a typical fifteen-year-old sophomore, an average guy named Kyle Chase. This can’t be happening to you. But then, how do you explain all the blood? How do you explain how you got here in the first place?

There had to have been signs, had to have been some clues it was coming. Did you miss them, or ignore them? Maybe if you can figure out where it all went wrong, you can still make it right. Or is it already too late? Think fast, Kyle. Time’s running out. How did this happen?

You is the riveting story of fifteen-year-old Kyle and the small choices he does and doesn’t make that lead to his own destruction.

Be sure to check back on the blog on Monday for daily questions.

Have a great weekend!

10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston

Are you ready to dive in to our first Teen Reads book club title?

Let’s start off our book club with a light read – a sweet romance by Ashley Elston, titled 10 Blind Dates.

The book can be downloaded here as an ebook:

https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12514431

Sophie wants one thing for Christmas – time with her boyfriend Garrett. So when her parents plan a trip to visit her sister over the holiday, Sophie begs to be left behind with her grandparents and her boisterous extended family. But she and Garret break up and she’s devastated.


Sophie’s grandmother, hating to see her so upset, devises a (not so) brilliant plan – to distract her from heartbreak. Over the next ten days, different family members will set Sophie up on ten different blind dates, which doesn’t sound awkward at all . . .


When Garrett turns up unexpectedly, it makes Sophie more confused than ever. Because maybe, just maybe, she’s started to have feelings for someone else. Someone who is definitely not available.
