She's the first of her kind. After years of tossing and turning in the night and the feeling of darkness trying to consume her, Raven finally knows why. Growing up she never cared for others, playing the game of hearts and keeping up with the best of them. Leaving a trail of broken hearts and shattered dreams behind her. Clay Cladwell is known as the most cynical vampire around, perhaps just as broken as Raven. Never cares for others, until he finds his match in Raven. The two entangle themselves in a game of broken hearts. Fighting to see who will win. It becomes difficult for Raven and Clay to continue just being playmates once they realize how much they underestimate each other. The more Clay learns about Raven, the more he questions himself if he wants to continue playing. The world of love, secrets and sacrifices is made up of these three things. Raven and Clay must navigate their dangerous world, and confront the temptation of forbidden love. They must never let their guard down because when they do, the one thing that can destroy all supernatural's awakens. *Awards listed on Awards page after epilogue* Word count - 120,000 Highest ranks #1 in pleasurable (July 15, 2021) #4 in Paranormal (Jan 5, 2022) #5 in Terrifying (Feb 19, 2022) #1in Forbiddenromance (Aug 27, 2022) #6 in Nightchanges (June 1, 2022) THE BROKEN RAVEN.

"Sure, it was robots this time. But who's to say that it won't be zombies next time? And when the zombies do come, who's going to be ready for it? Me." - Marietta "I mean, like, say what you want about the robots, but at least they weren't gross!" - Lila Welcome to the long-awaited sequel to the irreverent and uproarious 2015 Watty Award-winning EVERYONE DIED + MY iPHONE STOPPED WORKING! It's been three years since humanity was *almost* wiped out and the lucky survivors are now breathing easy, confident that they no longer have anything to fear from murderous robots. And indeed, they do not. But unbeknownst to them, there is another extinction-level threat on the horizon. It's a ferocious new enemy... and it smells terrible.

A race of human beings with horrific ancestry, an Empire's conquest of a faraway island, a man's search for divinity. Here lies Gehenna, here lie the damned. ***This novel contains mentions of violence, murder, rape & suicide -- Reader Discretion Advised*** Author's Note: Growing up with shows like Supernatural and Black Butler, reading novels like Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth, and most importantly reading the Bible the full way through, I've gotten extremely fascinated by the esoteric aspects of Christian mythology and Biblical lore. This story is inspired heavily by such Christian motifs and symbolism, specifically the Nephilim and the Book of Enoch. The setting of the story, rather than being the modern world, is instead the Age of Discovery. The reason being that, this era - the early 16th century, was a tumultous period when Christianity was spread via the early colonial Empires, and much of it involved horrific tales of the Inquisition and subjugation of conquered peoples. What better a place, then, for a novel inspired by Christian mythology than such a period? ----------------------------------------------------------- Highest Tag Rankings: 1st in #thought-provoking --- November 22nd, 2022 2nd in #cosmichorror --- September 30th, 2022 3rd in #lovecraftian --- September 8th, 2022 3rd in #biblical --- January 19th, 2023

*****WATTYS 2015 WINNER!***** WATTPAD STAFF PICK (9/7/15) In the end, the robots win. But you already knew that. "Everyone Died + My iPhone Stopped Working" is a collection of short interviews with some of the survivors. People who have tremendous insight into the rise of Artificially Intelligent machines or, more often, don't. Why did the robots rise up? What did they want? Why couldn't they be stopped? Can they be stopped now? Is humanity doomed? And what the f--k is going on with the squirrels? You will get the answers to all of these questions. Or some of these questions. Or none of these questions. We'll see. I will be updating this once a week until I run out of stuff that I find funny. Then I'm done.
