One elevator. One blackout. One night to discover what's been hiding beneath their hatred all along.

Olivia Hamilton has her career mapped out, her emotions locked down, and exactly zero interest in her infuriatingly charming new colleague, Caleb Quinn. He's reckless, cocky, and has a talent for getting under her skin.

Then a city-wide blackout traps them in an elevator together.

Sixty floors up. No rescue in sight. And nowhere to hide from the tension that's been building between them since his first day.

In the dark, sharp words give way to hard truths. Armor cracks. And Olivia discovers that the man she's been fighting might be exactly what she's been running from.

Some connections can't be denied—even when you're desperately trying.

A brilliant hacker cracks Neuralink's security, gaining godlike access to millions of implanted minds. What begins as righteous justice—exposing corruption, protecting the vulnerable—spirals into obsession. With a few keystrokes, he can rewrite memories, puppet bodies, reshape reality itself.

But power is a drug, and Aiden's moral boundaries blur with each intrusion. When he becomes fixated on Zara, a neural engineer who might be his undoing, he must confront an impossible question:

If you can control everything, what's left of you to control?

Tone: Horror-comedy (Scary Movie vibe) • Rating: PG-13 • Gore: None (implied “fade-to-amber” only)

Hook:
A campus Halloween party relocates to an abandoned observatory, and five friends discover the guest list includes a prankster in a paper-smile mask who loves jump-scares, puzzles…and timing jokes.

Back-of-book blurb :
Rain hammers the dorms, the party moves indoors, and the “art-space” observatory finally gets the attention it never wanted. Casey (trope archivist), Dex (stunt vlogger), Priya (med-student realist), Mateo (drama-club chameleon), and Linh (cipher brain) chase clues through dark hallways, foggy stairwells, and a gear room that hums like a clockwork heart—while a laughing shadow rewrites their plans in real time. Expect brisk chapters, sharp banter, soft scares, and zero gore: eliminations cut away to confetti pops, flickering jack-o’-lanterns, and squeaky party horns. Is the Smiling Shade a prank, a person, or something in between? The only rule is that Casey’s rules are always numbered wrong.

Why you’ll binge it:

• FAverage-length chapters, scare + gag every scene
• Mystery breadcrumbs & campus-urban legends
• PG-13 thrills, no graphic content

*Frog and Toad: The Never-Ending Story
This is a simulation of endless Frog and Toad stories where you play as Arnold Lobel, writing in his Frog and Toad world of quiet adventures and simple joys. To begin a new chapter, simply type /Chapter [Your Idea] - like "/Chapter Ice Skating" or "/Chapter Lost List." Each chapter will resolve its own small problem through friendship and patience. There are no bad endings, only gentle discoveries.

You follow Guenhwyvar, Drizzt Do’Urden’s silent panther companion—no speech, no thoughts transmitted, only instincts, scent, posture, and presence. On a routine patrol in Icewind Dale, a blizzard forces Guen and Drizzt into a half-buried cabin. Something is inside… and the storm won’t let them leave. Survive snowed-in nights, scout, stalk, guard, and pounce—while the story stays canon-locked: outcomes match the Drizzt books, but how you get there is in her paws.

In the endless corridors of TIA Headquarters, Mortadelo and Filemón embark on their most important mission yet: finding the missing “Secret Formula” that keeps changing both name and description every chapter. What begins as a simple retrieval from the chaotic filing room spirals into an agency-wide disaster as their efforts inadvertently attract the attention of Fredy the Thief, Pulgarcito the Tiny Terror, and occasionally the villainous Dr. Bacterium.

Through increasingly elaborate disguises (most of which fail catastrophically) and well-meaning interventions from their colleague Bacterio (whose inventions work perfectly until they don't), the bumbling duo creates chaos in every corner of the agency. From the perpetually exploding lab basement to the director's office (which transforms with each visit like a magical disaster), the agents' progress is measured not in successes but in escalating property damage and bureaucratic red tape.

Despite their best efforts (and Mortadelo's 75% disguise failure rate), the formula remains one miscommunication away. Ophelia delivers bad news with professional detachment, the director's blood pressure becomes a plot-critical metric, and the world somehow ends up worse off even when the mission technically succeeds.

Each chapter ends with the formula moving to a new location, Fredy gaining an advantage, and the TIA headquarters resetting like a cartoon universe—all while maintaining the signature visual style of Ibáñez: fast-paced, absurd, and with a touch of that special TIA logic where the most impossible solutions somehow make sense.
