Summary
‘You are a star,’ he murmured to himself as he logged in to the computer again, which had gone to sleep while he had been in the bathroom. ‘You are constant and eternal and this is just a tiny world with no real significance. Nothing that happens on this world really matters. You are a star, you have been here long before any of this and you will be here long after it ends.’

In the dismal state of New Jersey, vampires have been hiding in wait, an entire kingdom remaining mostly hidden from the public eye. Frank Iero is cursed with horrible nightmares that seem to be premonitions, and finds that he has an unmistakable connection with the loner art student Gerard Way - who gets bitten by a high ranking vampire. Now that Gerard is turned, things are becoming more dangerous and complicated than anyone involved could've ever anticipated. Will Frank and Gerard ever live normal lives? Or will Jersey swallow them whole?

When Mickey Milkovich first got to the University of Michigan he had two goals; play hockey and get drafted into the NHL. But by his junior year, he’s at risk of losing his full ride scholarship because of his slipping grades.
Enter Ian Gallagher, an ambitious and fiery redhead who takes his job as Mickey’s tutor way too seriously and seems determined on making his life a living hell.

Summary
Freddie Kingston's life is not going the way she oh-so-meticulously planned. Maybe joining a women's roller derby team will help her sort her head out- or maybe it will only leave her heart bruised. Either way, a little pain never hurt anybody, right?
