She's beautiful, strong, and alone in ways no one can imagine. Every place she calls home forgets her the moment she leaves, and even her closest friends vanish from memory. But when whispers of the Astorian kingdom reach her, she realizes her life-and the world around her-may not be what it seems.

Hidden deep in the California valley is the Aves Department for the infamous C.R.O.S.S. Laboratories. Offered an internship this esteemed genetic research lab, biology graduate Aurora Hall felt like she was living the dream. However, she soon begins to question the commonality of all the locked doors and vague answers from the shady staff. When she finds an abandoned ID badge with access to the highly restricted Section 3, she can't help but take a look. What she finds makes her question why she was picked as an intern, and she is faced with a choice that threatens to uproot everything she knows about science, humanity, and even love. ▪️▪️▪️ I flattened my palm on the cold glass and held my breath. My heart raced as I watched him tentatively lifting his hand to reach mine. Then I saw it. A flash of white in corner of my vision. Turning my focus away from the man, I focused on the white shape behind him. Craning my neck, I tried to inspect it further but my confusion only grew when I recognized it to be a patch of white feathers. Wait...feathers? He must have noticed my gaze because his lips quirked up into a proud smile and suddenly the patch of white grew into an entire wing. No, not just one, two wings...and they were attached to his back. -Rankings- #1 in Creature 3/03/2021 ❤️ #1 in Beast 1/27/2023 ❤️ #1 in Subject 8/27/2022 ❤️ #1 in Dystopia 3/25/2020 ❤️ #1 in Laboratory 4/27/2021 ❤️ #1 in Science-Fantasy 4/21/2023 ❤️ #2 Young Adult 4/18/2023 #2 Strong-Female-Character 12/20/2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [NEW COVER 4/3/2021] [COMPLETED 4/9/2022] *WATTPAD EXCLUSIVE STORY*

*MERMAN ROMANCE* Moving from the warm beaches of Oahu to the rocky shores of Monterey, California was supposed to be a fresh start for college graduate Leilani Ono. However, as she starts working for the esteemed genetics laboratory hidden along the chilly California coast, she realizes that her attempt at escaping her past has actually thrown her deep into a web of convoluted lies, mad scientists, and the horrors of human experimentation. ~*~ Gripped with panic, I turned away only to come face to face with the very thing I tried to run from. I gasped, stumbling back. Its face was shadowed, but I could still see the outline of its features. Illuminated by the reflection of the stars, I could see the sharp jawline and steely eyes that regarded me. A face that, even in the dark of night, was distinctly masculine. "Why are you here." A chilling voice seethed from the shadows. It was as cold as the night around us, with a slight hiss that was threatening enough to send my heart racing even faster. ~*~ #1 in EXPERIMENT #1 in MERPEOPLE #1 in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1 in OCEAN The second book in the Species Unknown series. Can easily be read as a stand-alone novel but I recommend reading Book 1: Aves first for more context. *COMPLETED*

While on the run from her abusive older brother, her only remaining family, Adalie comes across a severely injured forest spirit named Koa, who begs Adalie for help. Adalie takes them to nearby ruins of a grand old manor, where the spirit explains that they were attacked by a dangerous creature known as The Hybrid, a minion of the Dark Emperor Kaldareth. He rules over the Isen forest with an iron fist, so when he heard the locals whispering about a secret prophecy, one that speaks of a human girl leading to his downfall, he sent out his minions on a relentless search, attacking innocent spirits and animals, questioning them on whether they've seen her, and then killing them, so the girl won't know of her destiny should she come across one of his victims. Luckily, the Hybrid was sloppy, and Koa is still alive... but barely. They strike a deal with Adalie. I exchange for her help in collecting the ingredients required to make a potion which will save them, Koa will free her from living her brother.

"Honestly one of the best books I've read" - mywayforme "I'll take it from here," Sebastian said. "Ms. Dawson, I re-watched your interlude performance from Saturday and I was impressed with your drumming ability. I'm about to start work on my next album. I'm putting together a creative team to develop how the album will sound and I want to extend an invitation to you." Startled by the offer, Amelia's mind went blank. All words slipped from her brain, her thoughts becoming a jumbled mess pooled at her feet. "Ms. Dawson?" Sebastian prompted. Amelia blinked. Amelia didn't realize when she said yes to a once in a life time opportunity that it would jump start her career and help her find the one thing she hadn't been looking for. "Seriously, this book is not at all a cliche. It is very mature and fun to read and no teenage drama which was a huge plus.

"Hands down one of the best books I've read on Wattpad! I absolutely love this story! ❤" - DilettanteAmateur Lennon opened her apartment door to find Kade standing on the other side. He wore a bored expression, his hands in his pockets. His whole appearance reeked of hard earned casualness. His dark brown hair was carelessly pushed off to the side. He had dark eyes and handsome, defined features. "Hi," she said. It was one thing to see his face in the magazines or on TV but another thing to have him standing at her front door. "Please, come in," she said after a brief pause. "Let's get some things straight," he said, breezing past her without a polite hello. "I'm not your friend or your buddy and especially not your boyfriend. Everything I say to you when we are "together" will probably be a lie. This is a job, not a relationship. And lastly," he turned and looked her up and down coolly. "Don't fall in love with me." "Got it. Would you like something to drink?" she asked, a bright smile plastered on her face. One year. One year and Lennon will have the music career she has been working for. For only one year she has to put up with Kade Matthews, lead singer to America's number one pop band and newly reformed play boy. Or so that's what his manager says. Lennon is Kade's answer to moving beyond his past. Can Kade be Lennon's as well?

"So the issue is...?" "I found the most amazing writer." "Damn! I hate when that happens," Tristan said. Is it better to write well, or to be well known? Elliot McKenzie is a prolific YA writer.

So again you really need to read A Secret Service for it to make a lick of sense. #1 in Relatable #2 in Romance #8 in Teenlove (which is ironic with who this book is about 😂)
