Summary
Joan is eleven years old when she first realizes that there is something different about her: she can cause impossible things to happen that defy explanations. Eventually she discovers an entire secret world of people like her - atypicals - who have all kinds of strange abilities that she can use while in close proximity to them. Being atypical carries its own share of dangers, however, and as Joan dives deeper into the atypical world while keeping her own ability a secret, she has to decide how much she is willing to risk as she finds answers, friendship, and ambition waiting for her.

Summary
He glances back up to her. The way he looks at her is leagues apart from the way that Ellie looks at her. “If that works for you, that is.” Owen is looking at her with what almost seems like admiration. It’s this kind, committed, hopeful look that feels like a goddamn spotlight.
Meeting Ellie’s eyes feels like a challenge, not in that it’s hard, but in that it feels like she’s egging you on to something. Like she’s looking for something, not at someone. It makes Joan want to say or do something to impress her. Makes her want to want to light a spark behind that endearing and calculating calm.
“Friday after school every week works perfect,” she responds.
She decides that both of their eye contact is equally good, but God, does it feel uncomfortable. They’re unlike many other people that Joan spends time with in that just talking to them, just looking at them feels like something intimate, and frankly, she doesn’t know how to respond to that.

Summary
The year is 1815, many years since Samantha Barnes was last home, and she desperately hopes that she'll be able to hide her trips from the new visitors on her doorstep. Mark Bryant hopes that he too can keep his shit together, even when a face from the past resurfaces at a masquerade ball and threatens to pull his whole life apart.
She takes a breath and turns the knob, swinging the door open to reveal a man and a woman stood waiting on her doorstep.
“Hello!” the man exclaims with a smile. “I knew there was someone here.”
“I’m sorry about my brother,” the woman grimaces. “We’d just heard you arrived here and wanted to welcome you to the area. My name is Joan Thompson and this is my brother, Mark Bryant.”
“Nice to meet you, m’lady,” Mark winks and Joan nudges him in the side without breaking eye contact with Sam.
“I’m Samantha,” Sam rushes to say. “Samantha Barnes, that is.”
“It’s lovely to meet you, Miss Barnes,” Joan smiles, her tone friendly but her eyes sharp and critical. Sam becomes painfully aware of the dust that still covers her dress.
“Oh, I — thank you, I suppose,” she mutters nervously. “It’s odd being back here.” -

Summary
One month after fourteen year-old Robert Gorham sends his parents packing, he sets his still-empty house alight. He knows he's a freak, but he still never expected to end up at a facility full of people like him to be watched and monitored - he's not used to consequences.
What he is used to is getting his way, so when the opportunity strikes for him to get out under the supervision of another patient, he takes it. Vanessa Turner is the complete opposite of what he expects a parent to be, and her young daughter Chloe is literally the sister he never wanted, but he takes what he can get. Eventually, he knows, he'll get what he wants - freedom.

Summary
“Are you done?”
“Chloe? What the f-”
“I think that’s enough cursing for now, save some for after you get here.”
Mark ran a hand on his face, trying to get rid of the last traces of sleep that still clung to him, and got up from the couch.
“Get where? What’s going on? Are you okay?”
“Come to my house, as fast as you can. I’m okay but… Please come see for yourself. I think you’ll only believe it when you see it.”
