Every time a book I love gets whispered about for adaptation I go into full detective mode, and I did the same for 'Keeping 13'. No confirmed option notice turned up in the mainstream trades or on the publisher’s site, so for now it looks quiet. That said, publishers and authors sometimes announce when a major player is involved, while smaller options can be quiet until they’re more certain.
If you want to be proactive, follow the author, subscribe to the publisher’s newsletter, and watch outlets like 'Deadline' and 'Variety'. Fan communities on Reddit or Discord can also catch scuttlebutt early, but treat those as rumors until you see an official post. Meanwhile, imagine how cool a show could be — I’ve been sketching scene ideas in my head — and we’ll see if the right studio comes knocking.
Okay, quick dive: I haven't seen any credible, public announcement that 'Keeping 13' has been optioned for a TV adaptation. I scoured the usual spots — publisher press pages, the author's social feeds, trade sites like Variety and Deadline, and even IMDb listings — and there’s nothing official that popped up. That said, silence doesn’t always mean no; some options fly under the radar for months while contracts are finalized or producers quietly shop the project around.
If you care about this kind of news as much as I do, follow the author and publisher on Twitter/Instagram and subscribe to newsletter updates. Also keep an eye on entertainment trades and the author’s Goodreads/Amazon author pages, where acquisition news sometimes lands first. I’m quietly hopeful because the premise of 'Keeping 13' feels ripe for a tense, serialized show, but until a reputable outlet or the author confirms it, I’m treating rumors like fan art — fun to look at, maybe true, but not official yet.
My instinct as someone who follows book-to-screen development closely is to be cautious: an option is not the same as a greenlit show. For 'Keeping 13', there’s no public record I can find indicating an option has been granted. In industry terms, an option is a time-limited right purchased by a producer or studio to develop adaptation materials. It can be a short-term hold (12–18 months), renewable multiple times, and often contains non-disclosure elements, meaning neither party may announce anything until they’re ready.
Because of that, the absence of a press release isn’t conclusive. If you want a practical approach, monitor trade outlets, the author’s channels, and rights-tracking services. Also, watch for related signs like a showrunner’s social post or a production company’s slate update — those are early indicators. Personally, I’m rooting for it; the book’s tone and structure could translate really well to a tight, mystery-driven series.
I keep a mental checklist for this exact kind of thing, and for 'Keeping 13' none of the boxes are ticked publicly. Here’s how I’d break it down: check the publisher’s rights news, peek at the author’s pinned social posts, search Variety/Deadline/THR, and scan IMDbPro or production databases for any option entries. If those sources are empty, it likely hasn’t been publicly optioned. Sometimes an option is registered with a rights agency or leaked via a producer's LinkedIn before a press release — that’s rare but happens.
A little practical tip I’ve used: set a Google Alert for "'Keeping 13' TV" and follow tags like #Keeping13 or the author’s handle. If you’re into sleuthing, rights catalogs at book fairs (Frankfurt, Bologna) sometimes list deal activity, but that’s niche. Bottom line: no verified announcement I can point to right now, but the noise level could change quickly if a producer picks it up. Keep your feed tidy and your hype tempered, and you’ll catch it the moment it goes live.
I checked around because I had the same curiosity — and nothing official has shown up for 'Keeping 13'. No trade pieces, no IMDb entries, and the author hasn’t posted any celebratory news that I could find. That doesn’t rule out a private option agreement; sometimes authors and buyers wait until a package (showrunner, director, cast attachments) is ready before announcing.
If you're super eager, the quickest route is to follow the author and publisher and watch Deadline/Variety. Fan panels or conventions can also be places where creators casually drop that kind of news, so keep an ear out there too.

A monster whispered about in fear, a ruler drenched in blood, and a king who has buried nine wives before her.
Now… she is the tenth.
Trapped in a kingdom built on secrets and corpses, Emily must survive a husband feared even by monsters.
Will she become just another dead queen… or the one woman capable of bringing him to his knees?
SYNOPSIS:
In the high-stakes world of the Sterling Group, three half-siblings are forced into a ruthless six-month contest to determine who will inherit their father’s billion-dollar empire. Riley Sterling, the youngest and only legitimate child, is determined to prove her worth through integrity and hard work, despite being constantly overshadowed by her siblings.
Bella Harington, the manipulative eldest sister, sees the contest as her birthright and is willing to destroy anyone—including Riley—to seize the throne. Meanwhile, Kael Ashford, the brilliant but cynical middle child, plays the game from the shadows, driven by a dark secret regarding his mother’s death.
When Bella frames Riley for corporate espionage, shattering her reputation before the contest truly begins, Riley finds an unlikely ally in Kael. They form a fragile alliance to expose Bella’s crimes and uncover the truth about their family’s past. But as they work together in the shadows, their rivalry turns into a forbidden love that complicates their mission.
With time running out and their father’s health declining, Riley and Kael must navigate a web of betrayal, blackmail, and family secrets.

I'm Dominik, the dark side of an Archangel. I have no good in me. I have never loved a soul. Yet, here I am, falling for a Human girl with bright blue eyes. How?
I want to get the fuck out of here. Ever since I was imprisoned here, my brother has been a thorn in my spine. I have continually schemed ways to escape. Not that I don't appreciate Hilda and everything she has done, my freedom has always been my priority. Tell me why I am so enamored with this little Human? The way she laughs. The way she admires me when she thinks I'm not looking. The pink flooding her cheeks.
The problem is, The Keepers are looking for their amulet, and Master Rowen is looking for his pet… I didn't know which one was worse. I knew what I had to do to get us out, and It was going to hurt me more than it would hurt her. I even contemplated not doing it and just staying here, with her… But the Keepers couldn't be so kind as to leave her be.
My plan was here, the time to execute was now, and I forced her to take us back with her. I didn't save her when she arrived, just to allow my fucking feelings to get in the way. Guilt flooded my chest when I manipulated her. It flooded my chest again when my brother shoved a flaming hot Angel blade right through her…
What did I do? Oh, yea… I left her there to bleed out… And now that I've ruined any chance I ever could have had with the little Human… I'm going to open Pandora's Box and unleash hell onto this world. If I have to hurt, so does everyone else.
"Ow," she exclaims when the first stroke of my belt slashes across her bare ass, whimpering with her eyes closed. I set the belt down and rubbed the rapidly reddening spot with my left palm, enjoying the way she moans in pleasure.
"You like it, don't you?" I tease.
"Yes. Yes...Seb..."
I take the belt and whip her again. And again and again. Each time, her moans rising higher, her body jerking violently, turning me on. Through my peripheral vision, I could see her father standing by the door, his jaw on the floor.
"No...no, no..." I hear him wail.
This is just the beginning. I intend to fuck her cute, little pussy next.
While he's still watching.

I was a violin prodigy. But to pay my mother’s debts, I was forced to give up everything.
That’s when I met the man who would own me: Dante Moretti.
He was the king of New York's underworld. The Don of the Moretti family.
With a single phone call, fortunes were made. With a single glance, blood was spilled.
The world didn't just bend to his will—it broke.
And on that day… what he wanted was me.
He gave me a five-year contract. A penthouse in a skyscraper overlooking all of New York. More jewels and gowns than I could count.
Every night he needed me, I’d put on whatever lacy thing he picked out. We’d have sex.
Five years. 999 times.
There were moments—his sweat dripping on my forehead, his soft breaths inside me, the way he’d look at me—when I let myself dream he loved me.
Then the video dropped. Him. On the street. Kissing another woman.
I knew the truth. He was my keeper, not my lover.
Everyone laughed. They couldn't wait to see me lose my mind, begging him to keep me.
Instead, I turned my back on him. And married another man.
Man, I wish 'The Thirteen Book' had a movie adaptation! I stumbled upon it a few years ago while browsing through a used bookstore, and the premise hooked me immediately—this eerie blend of historical conspiracy and supernatural elements. The way the author weaves together secret societies and cryptic codes feels tailor-made for cinematic visuals. Imagine those shadowy meetings or the tense chase scenes through European cities!
But alas, no studio’s picked it up yet. It’s one of those hidden gems that deserves more attention. Maybe if fans keep buzzing about it online, some indie director might take notice. Until then, I’ll just reread my dog-eared copy and daydream about casting choices.
the author hasn't officially confirmed a sequel yet, but there's strong speculation based on how the story wrapped up. The character arcs definitely have room to continue, especially with that unresolved tension between the main couple and the secondary characters who barely got their spotlight. The fan forums are buzzing with theories about where the story could go next, focusing on the unexplored backstories and loose threads. While we wait, I'd recommend checking out 'The Score' by Elle Kennedy – it has that same mix of sports romance and emotional depth that made 'Keeping 13' so addictive.
