Esmeralda has existed for centuries without warmth, love, or longing only survival. Rosalyn is human, soft in ways Esmeralda forgot where possible. When their lives brush too close together, something ancient begins to change. Not hunger. Something far more dangerous.

Adventure Bay is quiet... too quiet. Ryder and Katie, the heart of the Paw Patrol, vanish without a trace. One moment they're laughing together, the next they're gone-taken far away to a place they don't know, by people they've never met. The Paw Patrol faces the impossible: racing across state lines, following every clue, braving danger, and pushing their courage to the limit. Each moment without Ryder and Katie feels like an eternity, and the weight of fear presses down on every pup's heart. As the hours turn into days, doubts creep in. What if they're gone forever? What if Adventure Bay will never be the same? But giving up isn't an option-because love, friendship, and hope are stronger than fear. In a mission where every second counts, bonds are tested, tears are shed, and the meaning of family is rewritten. Will the Paw Patrol save Ryder and Katie before it's too late... or is this truly the end?

After the death of her older sister Winslet - a prodigious, untamable presence at Avoy Conservatory - practice room 4B becomes a place no one names, and music itself seems to recoil from the silence she left behind. Five years later, the narrator returns to the same conservatory, carrying grief shaped by rumor, absence, and an unasked question about what truly happened in that locked room. As whispers of strange harmonies and lingering shadows follow her through the halls, she is drawn toward the echo of a sister who refused to disappear quietly. When music finally gives voice to what memory could not, the narrator must confront the truth of Winslet's final moments - and decide whether understanding can coexist with loss.

SUMMARY: Ilya absolutely demolishes Shane (but he feels really bad about it afterwards).

I shouldn't feel this way I shouldn't be getting used to it but right now there's nothing new all the white noise, the AC the deep sound from it get me out of here because if not I might start to fall apart

With Elise's magick draining by the day and the clock ticking down on the arrival of the mysterious organisation calling themselves The Guild, Rafael's life hangs in the balance. His death could be the solution, or his survival could be the key. Whether they like it or not, Quinn is a part of the world of magick, and they've grown attached to Rafael enough that the mere idea of his death is devastating. But what if that's the only way to save Dr. Bhat and the other missing scientists? According to The Guild, that is. Determined to find another way before anyone else has to die, Quinn and the other children of the missing scientists must hurry to find a way to access the magick dimension and stop the Spirits, or else both worlds will suffer great losses.

In the frozen world of Frostveil, the snow hides more than footprints, it buries the truth. Born a snow leopard-human hybrid, Meona Arashira once lived for her family and her village. But when her husband, Ryn, died defending them, her heart hardened into ice. Now a fierce warrior, she fights to protect her children, Haru and Yumeko, and the last refuge of hybrid kind. Her loyalty is tested when she's captured by Kyren, a scientist obsessed with hybrid perfection. Tortured, broken, and forced to obey, Meona becomes both a weapon and a prisoner. Will Meona escape and return to her kids? Or will she accept fate and work with her rivals?

(I previously published this book, but due to some issues, I had to unpublish it. Now, it's published again.) In a world where nothing is what it seems, "Echoes of the Forgotten" follows the story of a young woman, Emily Carter, who wakes up one morning with no memory of her past. A strange message appears on her phone: "Don't trust the ones closest to you." With only fragments of memories and the cryptic warning, Emily embarks on a dark journey to unravel her true identity and the mystery of her lost memories. As she digs deeper, she realizes that she is caught in a dangerous web of deception and manipulation. Every step forward leads her closer to a mind-bending truth about her family, her friends, and herself. Trust becomes a dangerous game, and betrayal lurks at every corner. But the more she uncovers, the more she realizes she isn't just a victim-she is part of something much bigger, something that could change everything. With each part, there will be new revelations, betrayals, and unexpected twists, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Emily's quest for answers is like walking a tightrope between sanity and madness.
