Seventeen-year-old Wren McKinley has spent her whole life tucked into the shadowy hollers of West Virginia, raised on whispered warnings, ghost stories, and superstitions that most modern folks have long forgotten. But after the sudden death of her parents, Wren is uprooted - sent to live with her aunt in the cold, gray town of Forks, Washington, where the mist clings too long and the trees watch too closely. Wren doesn't fit in with the rain-soaked kids at Forks High. Her red hair, thick Appalachian accent, and quiet, steel-edged stubbornness set her apart. But it's not just homesickness gnawing at her stomach. It's the way the air sharpens when she walks past the pale-skinned Cullens. The way her grandmother's old charms hum against her skin when one particular Cullen - Jasper Hale - sets his golden eyes on her. Wren knows evil when she sees it. And Jasper Hale? He's death dressed in a school uniform. Jasper Hale X OC Enemies to Lovers twilight - breaking dawn Warning: mature themes

Ambition destroys people. This is how it destroyed Jasey Tan and Tom Riddle. --- Tom Riddle does not know Jasey Tan. Once he does, he pays her little mind. Nothing to look at and nothing to think of. Jasey Tan knows Tom Riddle, but she doesn't care about him either. A bit more to look at (the crowds of girls fawning over him is proof), yet nothing to pay attention to. Nothing in comparison to the secrets of magic, at least, ones that Jasey yearns to study and master. If a wand can change the material plane, why can't a hand? And if a spell can mould the world to its liking, why can't a mind? One wanting to conquer death; the other wanting to conquer magic. Both wanting to conquer the world. Jasey and Tom are dangerous allies. And they are even more dangerous as friends. --- "With this type of power at your fingertips, the trigger is your will."

WARNING: Girl X Girl Don't like, don't read. Mila Dragon, daughter of the infamous sidekick Mushu. If that name doesn't ring a bell, then you still have to encounter the mischievous girl. The young dragon is known for her endless sass and sarcasm, but also for good advice and the soon-to-be-king's advisor. With her life set out like that, you'd expect her to be suspicious of the vk's, but given how often people claim she should be shipped of to the Isle, she welcomes the vk's with open arms. Which captures the interest of a dark fairy in particular.

Thomas Shelby is beguiling, brilliant and brutal. He can't afford to be anything else, for keeping a grip on Birmingham's criminal empire is no easy feat. Even with family and manpower, some days are much worse than others. So how the hell does the Tigress - having dropped out of the sky without the slightest understanding of English, no more than two identical bodyguards by her side and, more importantly, a woman - keep the sprawling red canopy of Chinatown under control? Ambitions are great, and as its name suggests, Small Heath isn't big enough to accommodate all. Shelby and the Tigress butt heads, rubbing each other the wrong way like flint against stone, both finding the other despicable, traitorous and too smart for their own good. But as secrets come to light and lives are threatened, they find that perhaps they have more in common than they think. After all, flint and stone make sparks, and sparks can turn into roaring fires. --- "I can't kill you if you're already dead."

In the West, gods and men are divided. The only beings to walk the line are demigods, offspring of Greek and Roman deities, with mortal and immortal blood. But in the East, the lines are blurred. What was man can become god, and what was god can become man. What is both...well, Camp Half-Blood is about to find out. --- Rowan Ma is not the daughter of Ares. She is not the daughter of Mars. She is not even the host of Horus. But in some strange way, she is connected to Guan Yu, the Chinese god of war, and that is more trouble than anyone expects. Especially when she washes up on Camp Half-Blood's beach, the war god's signature weapon by her side. Luckily, Will Solace and Nico di Angelo are around to help. Unluckily, they are sucked into Rowan's quest back to the Eastern Flame along with Billie Ng - daughter of Demeter. The Jade Emperor has been dethroned by the Monkey King, causing Heaven, Earth and Hell to tear apart at the seams. Before even the West is ripped to shreds, it is their mission to stop the mischievous, troublemaking god. So begins the Greeks' introduction to a new pantheon of gods from a civilization as old as theirs. With compassionate Billie, brooding Nico and bubbly Will, Rowan doesn't think she can handle one more person. She is wrong. And apparently, so is everyone else. Because, for some reason, they all thought her childhood best friend was dead. --- 'With you by my side, I don't think I would mind dying twice.' ---

XJ's back, and she's not happy that someone else is badder than she is. --- Summer's arrived, and school's out. XJ and Harry's plans consist of bathing in Auradon's incredible sunlight, relaxing in each other's company and causing minor havoc whenever they're bored, said chaos usually involving graffiti and firecrackers. Unfortunately, Audrey's building resentment and anger at being replaced has finally exploded, triggered by Ben's proposal to Mal, and the daughter of Sleeping Beauty has decided that if she can't marry into the royal family, she'll make sure there is no royal family. With the whole kingdom at risk, XJ and Harry are begged by Mal's friends (and Mal, albeit more grudgingly) to help. After all, there's no deadlier duo than Shan Yu's offspring and Captain Hook's son. The difference? Now they're the good guys. It's time for XJ's infamous brain to fire up again, formulating strategies and fighting with the viciousness she's known for. But with Auradon at stake, XJ finds her magic being stretched to its limit, all while the unforgiving sand in the hourglass runs like water. New schemes, old faces, and XJ caught in the middle. Only, XJ's never really caught in anything, is she? Not when she's normally behind it all. --- 'I value your life over mine.' --- R.I.P. Cameron Boyce.

Shan Yu could be argued to be the cruelest villain of all time. Maleficent terrorized a kingdom, never really killing anyone; Jafar did nothing more than pull the strings behind the scenes; Ursula only lurked underwater, but Shan Yu killed, pillaged, looted, and he had his enemies' heads to prove it. But the cruelest thing he had ever done, was leaving his daughter when she was still in the single digits. --- Xiao Jun makes chills run down everyone on the Isle's spines at the mere mention of her name. The Chinese girl with a permanent scowl on her face makes even Maleficent gulp. When Mal fails her mother and refuses to break the barrier, Xiao Jun is left stuck on the Isle, with even more rage added to the seventeen years of anger built up inside of her. Armed with the cruel nature of her father, a determination stronger than steel, strategic manipulation and a Chinese spear, XJ will make the world fall at her feet, and then, if her father comes crawling back to her, she will take his life. If not, well, she's planning to hunt him down and kill him anyway, assuming he's still alive of course. However, she forgot to add one element into the equation. And that element came in the form of a boy with a silver hook, black eyeliner, a red leather coat and the nerve to steal her heart. --- 'It was terrifying to see someone so infuriated that even facial expressions could not convey their emotions. And it was even more terrifying to see that same person with a highly lethal weapon in their possession.' --- Sequel now live: XF

Bruce Wayne might be the richest man in Gotham, but he's no longer the richest person. No, that title belongs to Sandra Feng: CEO of Feng Corporate, self-made billionaire and the newest face in town. An infamously ruthless businesswoman who holds her secrets in a vice-like grip, a thick veil of mysteries and rumors surround Sandra and her family - one that all of Gotham's upper-class want to pull away, revealing the reason behind the Fengs' move to the city. Everyone knows that when you want to infiltrate a fortress, you choose the weakest spot. So, it seems only natural that seventeen-year-old Faye Feng is under attack by the children of her parents' rivals. But to her classmates' dismay, she's more like her mother than they thought: Smart, quick and unrelentingly snide. Regardless, she's bound to slip up, and Bruce Wayne wants to be the first to know when she does, so who better to catch the early worm than the robin himself? At first, Richard 'Dick' Grayson's not so keen on manipulating a girl that he finds extremely pretty, but he's always up for a challenge, and there's no bigger challenge than Faye Feng. However, the stakes get higher when criminal activity spikes to be the worst Gotham City's seen in a decade, with a particular taste for murder amongst the wealthy. The Fengs' arrival seems to have brought an influx of crime, and you don't have to be the world's best detective to figure out that it's not a coincidence, but whether they're behind it all, or are fated to be the latest victims remains to be seen. So, if Batman and Robin want to keep their city safe, they'd better hurry, because the clock is ticking, and cracking the mystery of the Fengs is the only thing that'll make it stop. --- 'I will love you until the world ends.' ---
