It's hard for Adley to wake up after a night of fun at a sleepover and discover that her best friend was murdered - especially since she remembers fragments of committing the deed.

As days pass, Adley begins to discover a whole new side of herself - one that's more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine. However, Jessi Alvarez, Anna's other close friend, is dead-set on unraveling the truth about what happened that night.

A teen ghosthunter must defeat the alluring demon Black Prince in order to save her haunted city. *** The Great Haunting was just a historical plague. The alluring demon Black Prince wasn't real.

Only her missing sister knew of her ability to detect ghost essence and the mysterious dark matter the city is using as a power source. Armed with science, Binara is confident that she's a better ghosthunter than the city's clandestine ghostbusting agency. When history repeats itself with increasing incidents of missing girls and hauntings, Binara blames the demon prince for the disappearance of her sister. It's time to fight back before darkness takes over her home.

REMOVED April 9, 2024 One notorious gay heartbreaker. One homophobic ex-best friend and his kleptomaniac brother. Mix in a sex tape, commitment issues, and some explosive chemistry. The illusion of Dreyden's perfect life can't survive this disaster. ***** Dreyden is very good at being who others wants him to be. He's an obedient, church-going son, a perfect student, the life of every party. Maintaining the equilibrium means staying in the closet at home, so it's lucky his parents don't suspect a thing when he lies. When others are happy, it's easy to forget that he isn't. After one drunk night gets out of control, Dreyden dumps his loving boyfriend rather than admit to what he did. Adrift and increasingly alienated from his friends, he finds himself sucked into Orion's dysfunctional orbit. Orion has a habit of taking things that don't belong to him, but what's worse is his angry, homophobic brother, who used to be Dreyden's best friend. Bad habits might be harder to escape than the gravity of unwanted feelings, but maybe Dreyden's equilibrium isn't as stable as he pretends. And maybe Orion is about to disrupt it all, whether Dreyden is ready or not. It's just a shame that bad people don't get happy endings. ***** Contains sexual content, profanity, underage substance use, and themes of consent, mental health, homophobia, and coming out. *featured on Wattpad's "Stories to Read OUT Loud" list* Complete at 137k words.
