About this ebook series
Riverdale meets Stranger Things in this debut queer YA graphic novel, developed from a hit webcomic. Set in the haunted town of Blackwater, Maine, two boys fall for each other as they dig for clues to a paranormal mystery.
"For fans of Heartstopper and Teen Wolf." —School Library Journal
Tony Price is a popular high school track star and occasional delinquent aching for his dad’s attention and approval. Eli Hirsch is a quiet boy with a chronic autoimmune disorder that has ravaged his health and social life. What happens when these two become unlikely friends (and a whole lot more . . .) in the spooky town of Blackwater, Maine? Werewolf curses, unsavory interactions with the quarterback of the football team, a ghostly fisherman haunting the harbor, and tons of high school drama.
Co-illustrated by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham, who alternate drawing chapters in their own unique and dynamic styles, Blackwater combines the spookiness of Anya's Ghost with the irreverent humor of Nimona.

5.0star
Sam Jennings has come home for Thanksgiving to find the family business on the brink of bankruptcy and his mother fighting for her life. As he sets out to put things right with the business, The Blackwater Restaurant, he runs into his first snag—in the form of a curvy brunette. Julie Rose might be the best waitress in Blackwater, but she has more thorns than a damn porcupine. So why can't Sam stop thinking about her long legs and sassy mouth?
Julie isn't about to get mixed up with her boss's son. He might be tall, dark, and handsome, but he's way too arrogant and not at all her type. Sam is as hard as steel and just about as cuddly as a bear. Besides, between her business classes and waitressing, Julie has very little energy left over for playtime. Too bad her libido hasn't gotten the memo.

No one would guess that tough-as-nails building contractor Vance Jennings once suffered a broken heart. Though the pain has subsided over the last twelve years, the memory is still just as fresh. Even fresher when she shows up on his doorstep asking for a second chance.
No way is he letting her back into his life. But he’s plenty happy enough to burn it up between the sheets for old times’ sake.
Shayla Riggs is older, wiser, and determined to make things right. Except she’s thrown for a loop by the changes in Vance. He’s definitely not the same sweet boy. Which might be a good thing...
It takes only a kiss, a caress, to bring back the explosive passion they once shared. But if Shayla can’t find a way to break through the bitter walls around his heart, it just might destroy them both. Again.

0.0star
Brodix Jennings’s skills are put to the test when his brothers call on him to help bring the dying family restaurant back into the black. With the grand re-opening only days away, it’ll damn near take a miracle to keep the doors from closing for good.
Town reporter Sarah Greer has exactly what Brodix needs, free publicity on the front page of the town’s only newspaper. All she wants in return is a chance to interview the Jennings brothers, all five of them. The newspaper’s readership would eat up a rags-to-riches story like theirs. But none of the brothers are talking, and Brodix is the worst of the lot.
Brodix is immediately captivated to the buttoned-up woman with the prissy attitude. If it wasn’t for her lousy profession, he’d be doing everything in his power to get her out of her neatly pressed suit and into his bed.

River knows all about the uglier side of life and has the inner demons as a constant reminder. He knows damn well he’s damaged goods, but getting that through Jeanette Munroe’s pretty head seems to be an act in futility. River’s managed to keep his relationship with Jeanette purely platonic. She deserves a man who is whole, inside and out.
Jeanette has been secretly crazy about her best friend River since high school. She’s always dreamed of being swept up into his strong, capable arms and having him profess his undying love to her. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to realize she’s even a woman. When Jeanette is mugged and ends up with a mild concussion, River comes riding to her rescue. There’s finally a chance to get up close and personal with the big cutie—and she’ll darn well grab it will both hands.
