In the shadowy woods of summer camp, Kim's world is shattered when her quirky, unpredictable camper, Sarah, attacks her under a full moon. ​Surviving the mauling against all odds was just the beginning. Something has changed deep within Kim. ​Back home in the rugged mountain town of Alden, Colorado, Kim grapples with raging new senses, a fractured family, and a high school full of plastic smiles. But a deeper rot is festering in Alden. Something ancient and evil has arrived, a creature that wears her classmates' faces and feeds on their agony. ​To survive, Kim must unravel the mystery of the monster stalking the hallways while fighting to control the predator growing inside her. With the help of an unlikely group of outsiders, she is racing against a ticking clock to find the beast's heart before the next full moon-and before the monster in her, or the one in her school, consumes everything she loves. ​Will Kim be able to stop the horror without, or will she lose herself to the hunger within?

Jessie has loved Warren since she was sixteen. Eight years. One flat. Too many apologies. And a version of herself that got smaller every year. She finally leaves. New city. New job. New people who don't know who she used to be. Then Warren's mum gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now he's calling at midnight. Saying he misses her. Saying he's changed. Saying he still loves her. And Jessie? She's not heartless. She's just not sure she loves him the same way anymore. Because there's also Max. A grounded pilot with secrets, grief he doesn't talk about, and a way of looking at her like she isn't something to manage. He doesn't need fixing. He doesn't need saving. He just sees her. But healing isn't linear. Grief blurs lines. History has weight. And sometimes you kiss someone you thought you'd outgrown. This is the year Jessie stops shrinking. The year she chooses herself. The year she realises love should feel steady... not like survival. The year that changed her.

[COMPLETED] He was a veteran, she was a foreigner. He loved her, she could read his mind. He wore gloves to protect others from his sins. She wore kimonos to reclaim her identity. Willing Prey is a romance fantasy novel about a disillusioned ex-colonel, Gerald Aldrick, finally feeling his dead heart beat again after getting unfairly yelled at by a fearless geisha, Robin Taylor. But instead of anger or annoyance, Gerald feels nothing but admiration for her fervor and personality. Robin isn't as impressed with him, but fully plans to take advantage of his legendary colonel status for her own benefit with the help of her mind-reading ability. The question is, will she find herself feeling more for him than she initially expected? The story deals with heavy themes that are deeply personal for the characters. Gerald and his PTSD from war, dealing with the contradictory politics at home, and Robin with her identity issues as a trans immigrant. It's heavy, psychological, and grounded. The setting is fantastical but contemporary, a made-up world heavily inspired by ours, with a strong emphasis on society and politics. Genre: LGBTQ+ ROMANCE FANTASY Themes: psychology, trauma, identity, politics, sexuality, discrimination, wealthy privilege Tropes: love at first sight, enemies to lovers, millionaire boss, size difference, rivals love triangle Setting: modern urban fantasy, dark academia Rated MATURE for a reason-please, refer to the chapter titled 'disclaimer' for the full warning list.

This is a Pokémon fan fiction. As the story unfolds, concepts from other franchises may appear; all referenced IPs belong to their respective owners. Eh'L had everything-money, freedom, a skyline penthouse, a dream job at the Pokémon Company. By all accounts, he should've been happy. He wasn't. Corporate politics ended his life mid-smoke break... and rebooted it. Eh'L wakes up in Ecruteak City as an eight-year-old with no autonomy, no answers, and no patience-an isekai disaster waiting to happen. A traumatized Black man dropped into one of the world's most beloved franchises, he begins dragging it, kicking and screaming, toward Big-3-level power scaling. This is not a typical Pokémon story. Written for adults, it explores the darker spaces behind nostalgia-trauma, addiction, sex, violence, and existential dread. Buckle up. This universe has no idea what's coming. Content Advisory: Mature themes, including sexual content and LGBTQ+ polygamous relationships, appear later in the story.

In the ruthless underworld of Palm Beach Island's elite, where glass towers gleam and power is currency, 22-year-old Angel is marked-not by choice, but by design. A brilliant but unprotected outsider, she finds herself ensnared in a labyrinth of betrayal, ambition, and a plot that was never meant to spare her. At its center stands Dante-a man 24 years her senior, forged in silence and secrets, bound by oaths that have cost him everything but control. Until her. Angel's presence shatters his carefully constructed world, igniting a slow-burning obsession he cannot name-let alone resist. She is everything he was never allowed to want: young, untouchable, and achingly alive. But protecting her means crossing a line he swore he never would. As lust blooms into something far more volatile, and the truth claws its way from beneath years of concealment, Dante must choose between the duty that cages him-and the woman who threatens to undo him entirely. The Ledger Of His Sins is a taut, intoxicating descent into forbidden desire and moral collapse-where every whispered promise and clandestine touch pushes them closer to ruin. In a city built on illusion, love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. Disclaimer: The written content and original art associated therein; is legally protected.

*Trigger Warning* This book depicts suicide and mental illness. Some souls are born to break the cycle. Others were never meant to live at all. Seventeen-year-old Ellie Lucas never asked to inherit a legacy of death. But after her mother's mysterious suicide and a cryptic note left behind, Ellie's world spirals into something far darker than grief. Haunted by visions, pulled into weekly therapy sessions that she dreads, and shadowed by a boy from her past with secrets of his own, Ellie learns the truth, she carries divine blood and is fated to die... unless she becomes something worse. Killian, the son of the God of Death, Ankou, was meant to claim her soul. Instead, he watches over her, bound by a curse of his own. As ancient Celtic powers awaken and soul-devouring creatures threaten the balance between Gods and humans, Ellie finds herself caught between destiny and defiance, love and vengeance, the living and the dead. But when the ultimate betrayal reveals someone who once was closest to her true motives, Ellie's fate is no longer hers to mourn-it's hers to rewrite. If your soul was the price for power, would you still fight to be free? Dive into a supernatural thrill ride where mythology meets mortality-and every choice echoes in eternity.

In Three Times a Victim: Living Under the Shadow of Toxic Shame, the author shares a deeply personal and harrowing journey through layers of injustice-first as a victim of a traumatic assault, then as the accused in a cruel reversal of truth, and finally as a casualty of a justice system riddled with gender bias and systemic failure. With raw honesty and emotional depth, this memoir delves into the profound psychological impact of being disbelieved, shamed, and ultimately betrayed by those entrusted to uphold justice. It explores how pre-existing wounds of childhood abuse, emotional deprivation, and toxic shame collided with the crushing weight of false accusations-leaving scars that persist in personal and professional life. Through vivid storytelling, the author examines the societal biases that too often dismiss male victims, the emotional toll of battling for truth in a world unwilling to listen, and the ongoing struggle to reclaim dignity and identity in the face of relentless self-doubt and despair. Despite the darkness, Three Times a Victim is also a testament to resilience, offering an unflinching look at survival, self-acceptance, and the pursuit of healing. This memoir is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced injustice, battled with feelings of shame and isolation, or sought to understand the devastating consequences of a system that too often punishes the innocent. It is a powerful call to challenge societal perceptions, advocate for fairness, and shine a light on the silent struggles that persist long after the case is closed.
