Summary

In Maplewood, the Rivers family navigates everyday life filled with humor, sibling chaos, and strong bonds. As they juggle school at Maple High and hangouts at Maplewood Park, friendships and relationships grow more complicated—Hazel dates her kind (and secretly supernatural) boyfriend Andrew, Liam struggles with his crush on Jaz, and a web of unspoken feelings stirs tension within the group. Between loyal friendships, family support, and the occasional drama—especially involving the mean girl Chloe—the group learns what it means to stick together through it all.

Bloodlines

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

Silver's Second Chance

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
