PhD Student Maria Yuquibo finds herself stranded on an unfathomably immense structure out in the middle of space whose surface holds not only endless space, but dark, endless rabbit holes on the nature of the galaxy and her existence. From lost societies, and political upheaval, to creatures with extra-dimensional power. What is this place? Where or when is it? How, and why did it come about? And most importantly who could build such a structure? Maria must navigate it all if she wants to find answers and get herself home.

Erotic horror turning into a psychological thriller turning into dark romance. ----- She came home for a weekend. She never quite made it back. Samantha is a habitual overachiever-brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from becoming something she doesn't even believe in. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means navigating impossible terrain: a captor whose ruthless competence is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other. For you if you love: women who can turn intelligence, trauma, and weakness into a weapon; moral ambiguity with no safe exits; psychological horror that earns its weight; dark romance that takes the darkness seriously; slow burn... in every sense of the word. Not for you if: you need your protagonists sympathetic, your villains clear, or your darkness decorative. This story does not look away when bad things happen.

Five hot guys. One murder. Time travel is messy, okay? They all have dreamy eyes. One has blood on his hands. Unfortunately, Fie's heart is really bad at math. In "Alive, If", Fie is just trying to survive college, falling in love, and figuring out who keeps moving her memories around like furniture-until a strange girl shows up claiming to be her future daughter. Her warning: one of them is going to kill you. Now Fie's stuck in a glitching reality, three suspicious love interests, one wildly unqualified time-travel mystery, and a past that won't stop rewriting itself. Think "Final Destination" tension, "Eternal Sunshine" mind games, and "The Notebook" heartbreak-but with more ghosts, more kisses, and more existential dread. Because this isn't just about surviving. It's about who you trust with your life- and who you accidentally fall for while doing it.

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?
