All his life, Azazil was expected to be perfect. He rose from the ashes of his namesake Helel, so he was expected to become even greater. But what happens when you have to become greater than the most perfect of God's creatures? Unfortunately for Azazil, his failure meant being cast out. Now living as a failed seraph, his eternal task is to row just souls to their eternal resting place. For 3000 years he has endured this with no sign from his former home. One day, however, he finally gets a signal that he is allowed back. But when the signal turns out to be false, his punishment for shirking his duties is being cast down to the horrifying depths of Gehinnom. Now in Gehinnom, Azazil has to find a way to win back his family's love ... for better or for worse. (Cover by @GraceSClarke)

She was only half prepared for any disaster a black girl could face in dog blood world of modernity. Then she happened to pull her shirt down over her head to suddenly facing off with making her own way through the abnormal intensity of natural agents; floods, mudslides, earthquakes, avalanches, drought, tropical cyclones and jaw dropping, ground breaking, mouth watering sexy men-Wait! BEASTMEN. Trying to preserve her life, she hurtles towards a frightening future, back in a Stone Age. A/N; I first started writing this on webnovel so you can go an support me there with a review, a comment, or vote. All chapters will be published on wattpad first because it's easier. But I'd appreciate your input, opinion or even short quirk on how you visioned a black girl taking on a beast world. It can be totally unrelated to my idea. In fact you can add anything, zombies or whatever. It will encourage me. Don't worry. The book will be free. It's a trial run, and I want to finish it. Please pleas, it will not be 1000 chapters long. No no. Maybe a little over 100 or less. I wrote this because I've read so many beast world books referring to the beast women as extremely ugly and their dark skin being ugly. While the fl gets to flaunt her pale one. Honestly I have nothing against race. White is just as beautiful as black. That's the view I want to express. And also, I don't believe that there can exist a world or nation that doesn't have its own expression of beauty- for all genders not just males. I read a book that brought out the fl and fellow beast women as almost at per in looks. The only thing was that t

"It wasn't just the tattoos, the piercings, or the extensive dark attire; it was their fierceness, their attitude, and the way they refused to let anyone tell them what to do."

Carrie Grey, the tantalizing front woman, has protected herself from ever falling in love after witnessing the damaging breaking of her mother's heart.

The runaway woman and the regular man collide in the most unexpected way. All Perrie wanted was to have peace in her newly-bought flat in London and to celebrate her new modelling contract. She did not expect to be forced to have a housemate, nor to have to explain why she looked awfully familiar to him. Dave was an unnecessary addition to her anxiety list, yet the man did not plan to leave the flat any time soon. He paid as much as she did and wanted to claim his rights, whether their dual contracts were legal or not. They were left with one choice: sharing the place until they found the solution for the mess. One bedroom and toilet each, and no messing up the shared kitchen. What happens when Dave finally figures why she looks familiar? All rights are reserved ©️ 2024 annabellacx ⚠️ mature content inside: swearing, mention of sexual assault, and sexual content later on.

"Whatever you have that stupid grin on your face for, the answer is no. No smoking, no guns, none of your Mafia friends, none of any of that. And most of all no..." she trails off and glances at Fiona. Pulling my arm to the kitchen she lowers her voice, "And no women. I don't want any of your little skanks or anything around my daughter. Got it?" I run my eyes over her body. She is wearing the scrubs again and her hair is pushed to the side messily. "You look extremely fuck-able right now Diana. " ••• She's a nurse, a mother to an optimistic twelve year old girl, a friend to three crazy women and her name is Diana Ambrose.

A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."
