THE WALL OF CARDSis a coming-of-age tale set in the heart of Kisumu, where the weathered stone wall separating Kisumu Girls’ and Kisumu Boys’ High Schools becomes both a literal and symbolic barrier. Through secret notes, hidden messages, and quiet acts of rebellion, students on both sides navigate friendship, longing, and the mysteries that bridge their divided worlds.This story was born from the author’s own memories as a former student of Kisumu Boys’ High School, a place where invisible and visible walls shaped daily life and friendships. Eddie Edwin Otieno found himself reliving these stories in a new light during the Gen Z uprising of June 25, 2024, when Kenyan youths rose up across the nation to protest poor governance, ultimately forcing President Ruto to withdraw the controversial Finance Bill 2024.​​​​​​​Inspired by the courage, unity, and hope of a new generation, Eddie weaves together personal nostalgia and the spirit of youthful resistance, creating a narrative that speaks to anyone who has ever searched for connection and meaning in the spaces between us.

He will give me what I want most in the world, but in return, he will kill me.

Alpha Damon was the hottest, strongest, most infamous Alpha in the entire state of Maine, but he also had a weakness.

And only I knew it.

At just six years old, I made a blood pact with Damon. I was sad and upset after my father's recent passing, and in order to make me feel better, seven-year-old Damon made a blood pact with me; he promised me that he would protect me from harm, until we found my father's killer.

But that was before he found out what I was.

It has been years... years of us apart. Not until my fateful day came, and when my life was in danger, he finally showed himself.

That was when my life took a turn, I found out what he really wanted.

And this is where the hunt began.

***** this is part of The Crush Saga but is a side novel, this can be read whenever with or without reading The Crush Saga, although Damon and Winter's story is continued in The Crush Saga****

DANGER NEVER TASTED SO SWEET

How to date a vampire?

I'll tell you!

You'll need to give him hugs, daily, and also... other things.

Oh, and blood. He needs blood.

How do I know?

My boyfriend's a vampire! Or at least I think.

He's very dark and brooding, but... I notice he loves sweet things. Why doesn't everyone else know that?

His blood is his coffee, he loves dumping sugar in it.

It's odd, but I don't judge! I can just get him chocolate.

So how to date a vampire?

Good question, I'm still learning.

Do you know Suki Quinn? No, she doesn't even know herself.

She has a bright heart with a dark soul... her blood thickened and savory, just every vampire's dream.

Every vampire had been hunting for the perfect meal, the bitter blood mixed with sweetness... and Suki was the definition of perfect blood.

That's when William came into the situation.

William Blaze, the boss at the publishing company Suki worked at.

He wouldn't be her boss for long, no.

He wouldn't allow anyone to get their slimy fingers on his dinner.

His dinner?

Yes, his dinner.

Blood and lust made his favorite meal.
