I live in a pretty screwed up world. I mean, we all do, but mine's a little more screwed up than your average American city. First off, I have that cliché sort of crush on my best friend. The second part of that cliché is that he's interested in every other girl but me. Second, we have superheroes. A lot of them. Flying everywhere like annoying insects, teleporting like it doesn't scare the crap out of the rest of us, defeating bad guys like they're the new Mr. Incredible. The whole works. The third thing is, I'm one of those superheroes. My name is Kiera Knight, but the rest of the world knows me as Shadow. _________________________ Kiera Knight has been saving Cryptic City from her nemesis, Blaze, for two years now. As soon as she thinks she's got him under control, the wildfire spreads chaos through both of her lives-as Shadow and Kiera. But she soon finds out that masks can't hide every secret, and she might have been helping guard a secret that could put Cryptic City in ruins. "I hate supervillains. But after being a superhero, I think I'd prefer to be a supervillain now." _________________________ (I seriously didn't even think of Keira Knightley when I made up her name. Just thought I'd let you know.)

"A thank you would be nice, you know?", his hooded figure approached me with a smirk. "Never", I hissed. "But I saved your life", he kept coming closer. "You saved my life?!", I shrieked, "You freaking THREW ME OUT OF THE WINDOW!?" *** Superhero in disguise. That's who the eighteen-year-old Annie Kathryn Sweetheart is. Determined to uncover the man hiding under the infamous villain Damon, her senior year is thrown into a chaotic mess. While he was the one behind her mother's death, Damon was known to torture his victims until they lose consciousness and leave them with a purple lilac flower, or at least until the police or Lady Solain, the beloved heroine -- who is Annie -- find them. Damon is threatening her. Lady Solain is after him. None of them will stop until a throat is slaughtered. That's a lot of weight to hold up considering she's building a life, uncovering a well-hidden identity, and dealing with the new villain in town who's firing direct threats -- not only towards her and the citizens but towards Damon as well. There's a lot a woman could take, but alas break them or be broken. There's no in-between, or is there? ___________________________________ Impressive Rankings: #1 Teen Fantasy (3 - 2023) #1 Magic (7 - 2022) #1 Supernatural (7 - 2022) #1 Powers (12 - 2020) #2 Enemies to Lovers (12 - 2022) #2 Super Hero (7 - 2020) #6 Love (7 - 2022) #13 Criminal (6 - 2020) #14 Lady (12 - 2020) #15 Hero (5 - 2020) #19 Flowers (6 - 2022) #21 Teen Romance (5 - 2020) #29 Super Powers (7 - 2022) #32 Feelings (3 - 2022) ___________________________________ This is not edited, still ongoing.

**Preview Only** When a wounded dragon falls from the sky, Claire Evans runs into a cornfield to rescue it. This isn't just any dragon, he's a shifter, one of six royal protectors, and helping him has consequences. Claire finds herself traipsing--or rather, flying--across the kingdom of Dragonwall. She must face Dragonwall's king. King Talon is not like those before him. Troubled and temperamental, he is scarred by more than the events that shaped him. Worst of all, he is mateless. With no queen and no heir, his subjects are demanding he abandon tradition and marry into nobility. There is a rising threat at his borders, whispers of a sorcerer. Soon, he will have greater problems than that of finding a wife. Modern meets medieval in this seven-book series filled with magical creatures and adventure. This epic fantasy is a slow burn romance that follows multiple POVs, woven together around Claire, a small town Indiana gal. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to get sucked into a fantastical world beyond our own, look no further! **Read Exclusively On Wattpad**

"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).

It seems like everyone Lake knows has already met their other half. He's spent years in waiting but has finally turned his back on fate. The counterpart system is simple but his life is not, so he doesn't expect it to work for him as it has for everyone else. He joins the League as the next logical step in his life. It's the best option for anyone with powers, and Lake can control ice. His new career will serve as a distraction from the disappointment of the counterpart system if nothing else. When Lake is assigned to an undercover operation that he's out of his depth with from the beginning, he gets far more than he bargained for. His friends have told him their stories of how they met their counterparts, but he's pretty sure that he can top all of them after he encounters the son of the man he is supposed to arrest.

Eli didn't think much about the city's newest so-called hero, but he supposed Vigilante wasn't all that bad. Granted, he was kind of a jerk and if he ever tried to kiss Eli again he was definitely getting punched. A story about a starving college student, making a living serving coffee and the local vigilante with a crush. - - - - - - - - - Highest rank #1 in Action, Wattys 2016 winner in the Trailblazers category!

Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhelly
