Viktor didn't expect to be abducted by aliens when he went to school one morning, and he certainly didn't expect to be thrown into the alien equivalent of a dog-fighting ring, either. But when fighting for his life quickly becomes his routine, will he be able to muster up the strength to break that mold? Especially when the fate of humanity rests on his shoulders? *** The Vokkrus, a warrior alien species, go to Earth with the intention to 'rescue' the human species from their dying planet. The catch is that they believe humans to be nonsentient and incapable of intelligent thought. They are treated as nothing more than the common animal. They are a commodity, something to fawn over and ogle at. Humanity's strength and stamina are nearly unrivaled on this new planet, and when Viktor is taken to an alien fighting ring, he quickly dominates the competition. Mercy has no place in the arena. When Viktor is adopted by the leader of the Vokkrus, an intimidating alien whose intentions are unclear, he is forced to shed his wariness and convince the alien king to save humanity from his accidental oppression. *** Please don't advertise other stories in the comments!

THIS BOOK TAKES PLACE AFTER 'BLOG OF A TEENAGE SUPERHERO'. You don't have to read that book first to understand the events that unfold in this one, but this story will spoil all the major plot twists in BoaTS. *** What makes a supervillain? After escaping prison, ex-supervillain Masquerade is on the run from the city he used to love. But the past, in the form of a boy he hurt and a superhero who saved him, won't let him go. He thinks if he joins the organization that wants to destroy "mutated monsters" like himself and the supers he used to terrorize, then maybe he can be made human again. Flawed logic, sure, but Masquerade would do anything to escape the person he's become. But when this organization takes their agenda a step too far, resulting in a tragedy far too close, Masquerade has got to choose: to be the person he's learned to be, or to fight back. *** COMPLETE

This is the story of how a storm and a space-thief started an apocalypse. Lillian Cart Ci, a spunky thirteen-year-old girl with a newfound ability to steal from space, must leave Earth after she is blackmailed into joining the army for an upcoming world war in the Shifter World, a world with opera-singing walls, uptight fairies, trees that sing lullabies only the deaf can hear, glowing mushrooms as big as houses, and whispering stars. Shifters are people with the ability to produce either fire, water, or earthly elements from their fingertips and are the dominant race of this world. They thrive beneath an international government that kills any human with strange or unheard of magical powers. Under the careful watch of the government's eye, Lillian must train for a war her ancestors prepared for-a war against a race of people called Acids, whose magic is more destructive than any weapon or Shifter army. This is the story of how eleven monsters took over the world. Eleven beasts that have been created by a vengeful man nicknamed Storm are eating cities and towns alive. From the moment the beasts unearthed themselves to the Shifter World, they've been killing machines, sucking the color and culture from every continent across the globe. Using the brink of the Shifter-Acid war as a foothold, Storm uses his monsters to not only create chaos, but to find the most magic-dense spot in the Shifter World so that he can destroy the very dimension keeping the Shifter World breathing. In a world of opera-singing walls, cannibalistic psychics, screaming stars, and crooked cities, Lilly must band together with a group of multicultural disparate friends and put her spunk to use to stay afloat in the dangerous waters of the Shifter World. This is the story of how monsters and stars went to war.

In which an introverted healer learns to deal with the greatest horrors of his life - socializing, dungeons, and psychopathic NPCs. Season 1 of Eliona's War *** Seth Veregin doesn't know the first thing about video games. But when he's gifted a beta copy of Eliona's War - a Virtual Reality online game that's the very first of its kind - he reluctantly gives it a try. Thus, Severance the healer is born. All he wants is to quietly explore on his own without having to deal with other people. Unfortunately for him, there's a few problems with that plan. Not only did he choose a class that's in high demand, but some players just won't take no for an answer. And the game NPCs? They definitely have a mind and an agenda of their own.

I should be dead. At least, that's what the government officials told me in the super-secret lab where I woke up strapped to a mattress in a windowless room...Sound problematic to anyone else? Like I told the psychos experimenting on me, I've got zero clue how I got my new powers, but I'm sure-as-shit not going to let them turn me into a deadly weapon (or squeeze me into a spangly jumpsuit). Problem is, I'm not so great at controlling whatever the hell it is I've become...Not to mention I'm on the run from my country for a teensy-weensy act of treason while being chased by a shadowy masked mute who may or may not have superhuman abilities too (but is definitely stupid hot under his off-putting disguise). I'm only 25 and my career choices have been limited to hero or villain. WTF?!? Indie Author Fangirl Moments: 1. SHORTLISTED FOR A 2021 Watty (WTF?!?) 2.
