[The sequel to Cold Fire] All her life, Melissa has been defined by something she's had no control over: a rare, undiagnosed disease. But even with all the scientific explanations offered to her by the undeniably clueless doctors, she's been living on lies. Because as it turns out, her disease isn't even a disease at all, but an unfortunate side-effect of swapping souls with her childhood friend, Sarah. Now, after swapping back into her true body, Melissa discovers that getting to this point was only half the battle. Her powers are suddenly uncontrollable, she's haunted by fragmented memories of her past at night and plagued by unanswerable questions during the day. On top of all that, she's due to enrol in a new school in only a matter of days. Never mind the fact that no one can get her name right, if she doesn't learn how to control her powers before school starts, she'll be the talk of the town. But there are deadlier battles on the horizon. Suddenly, the half-century old prophecy that paints her as the saviour has come back to bite her in the butt, and if she can't figure out how to stop her uncle before his new project turns into a reality, they may very well end up on course for an apocalypse. All Melissa has ever wanted was a chance at life - a normal life - but now it looks as though she won't survive the winter. And when someone she loves comes back from the dead, she realises that the answers she seeks are buried much deeper then she could ever have imagined, and in order to find out the truth about her future, she'll have to go back a hundred years in the past. © 2015 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

[NOW PUBLISHED ON AMAZON! You can buy it here: http://bit.ly/ColdFireBUY] [*SAMPLE ONLY* LAST 10 CHAPTERS REMOVED] [A Wattpad featured novel] Melissa has a rare, undiagnosed disease, or so say the doctors that did tests on her for half of her life. She doesn't need a medical certificate to tell her that she's different. She was born with a body temperature so low that most people would die before they even started living. Keyword: most. Somehow, Melissa has managed to live for fifteen years, but those years have not been without their hardships. The doctors told her that in order for her organs to function in such cold conditions, her body must absorb the heat from the surrounding air in a painful process dubbed a "heat attack", which slowly turns her temporary home freezing and uninhabitable. Forced to move from city to city in order to keep everyone in her vicinity alive, and plagued by the stares and hushed whispers that accompany her, Melissa tries to lead a normal life. But she's failing miserably. And when she's approached by the new kid in school, all hope of an ordinary life slips from her grasp. Suddenly, strange is the new normal, and Melissa finds herself wrapped up in a new world where ghosts aren't "just in her head", glass windows shatter unprovoked, and rare, undiagnosed diseases aren't actually diseases at all. And to top it all off, someone - or multiple someones - seem to want her dead. So much for normal... © 2013 by shayebay All Rights Reserved PUBLISHED JUNE 26, 2019 WITH TYPEWRITER PUB!!

After five failed lifetimes spent trying to beat fate, Ellie Blackwell's faith that things will be different this time is long gone. Her heart has been shattered one too many times and she's not prepared to let it happen again. Broken and beaten down, she has all but given up. Her's is a destiny that cannot be changed; she's accepted that now. But there is one path she hasn't tried before, one choice she's never made, one man she's never said yes to... Could he be the key to changing her fate? Or will burying her heartache in another just make everything worse? Surrounded by the same souls that have followed her for seven lifetimes, Ellie decides to forfeit her fight with destiny before it even begins. But ignoring your heart after two hundred years isn't easy; especially when the past just won't let go. In the fourth and final book of The Return Series we bounce back and forth between present day and Ellie's sixth lifetime in the late 70's. Mysteries will finally be solved and questions will finally be answered. And, with Ellie's eighteenth birthday rapidly approaching, she somehow needs to find the strength to fight for her life. But will she be able to take all she's learned over these past seven lifetimes and change her present enough to give her a chance at a future? Or is Ellie still cursed to have this lifetime end like the ones before? ***If you haven't read the other books in The Return Series, it's HIGHLY recommended that you start this mystery from the beginning.

Resurrected once again, Ellie Blackwell now knows that there is no way to fight her destiny; so she decides to run, hoping that a new environment will wipe her slate clean. But she should have known that fate wouldn't allow it to be that easy. The same souls that have surrounded her in the past still find her again and, despite her best efforts, she can't seem to free herself from them. Ellie is left with no choice but to begin solving some of the mysteries that have haunted her for four other lifetimes and to try, once again, to prevent her murder from happening on her eighteenth birthday. As we journey back and forth through both Ellie's past and present lives, she learns that she isn't the only one in her circle keeping dark secrets. Desperately struggling to fix things and somehow change her destiny, Ellie realizes that maybe you can't fight fate, perhaps she is forever cursed to make the same mistakes she's repeatedly made before. Again, a great big shout-out to @SoCamerShy for her amazing cover work! Check out her work...she's an amazing writer!

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]
