Forced into a cramped dorm room, the two enemies are finally close enough to see the truth... Ashes realizes the "Golden Boy" is a hollow shell, rotting from a secret war he’s been fighting since he was ten. David realizes the "Cold Monster" across the room is the only person whose heart isn't for sale. They envied each other's lives until they saw the darkness inside them. Now, as the pills run low and the past catches up, they must decide: Will they continue to be the enemies they were raised to be? Or will they find that the only thing more dangerous than their hatred... is this new feeling that will start to fill the hollow? In a world of fake friends and expensive masks, the truth might be the only thing that kills them. Two boys........ Two lives........ One massive lie....... To the world, David Fernandes... is the "Porcelain Prince." Blonde, blue-eyed, and draped in the effortless luxury of his family’s billions. He has the friends, the fame, and the future everyone envies. But behind the dormitory door, the smile shatters. David isn't living—he's disappearing, one candy-colored "Happy Pill" at a time. To the world, Ashes Flamerinc... is the "Shadow." Dark, cold, and dangerously quiet. He’s spent eight years hating David for the silver spoon he was born with, while Ashes fought to survive his own father’s violence. Fate has a twisted sense of humor.

bushbaby: I love the slightly different spin on the were-world and I love love love reading Jaspers story splashed in-between.

NN: It got me from chapter 1. I’m sad it ended, but I loved the whole story. It was very emotional to read parts of it, and the dynamics, characters, and plot twists were amazing. I’d like to have an epilogue... 10years from now. What happened to Dewey? Even Jordan hahahaha
