When a God appeared to Anna after she committed a terrible sin, Anna immediately began to pray for forgiveness. Before she knew it, the girl began to rely on the God, trying to convince herself that she wasn't a sinner and trying to remain with the deity. Little did Anna know that her whole life was about to change as she learned the secrets of her past and the truth of her God.

THE GIRL IN THE WHITE ROOM Book Two of "The Boy in the Gray Hoodie" series. Go look at the first chapter for a sneak peek!

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

I refuse to say "dear diary." After all, I'm not some thirteen year old girl writing about how my mom just redecorated my room to match my pink plush pillows (try saying that three times, fast). I won't write about how I'm not a kid anymore, or how my parents embarrassed me in front of my friends. I don't have a bedroom. I don't have parents. I don't have friends. And, most importantly; I don't have pink plush pillows. I'm a sixteen year old girl who won't be wasting paper, a material that is so hard to acquire, just to write about such frivolous subjects. On these pages, I'll be talking about what's happened to the world and what I've been through. I'll write about what I'm going through, my thoughts and feelings, and whatever else I can think of, while Marine Stevens (you'll find out more about him later) and I avoid people, avoid things that want to eat us; and survive in the rubble that's left.

I was never meant to leave that room. I had spent my whole life in there, imagining what it was like on the outside. I looked forward to the day when I would finally be allowed to leave. But that day was never supposed to come. Until James decided to keep his promise. He had always been there, on the other side of the glass. Waiting. The experiment wasn't over. He was still waiting for me to change. But I didn't change. Not until that night. It was dark, and there was rain. The sound of the car engine was loud, but the crash was louder. In the crash, I became something different. I changed. But not for James. This new part of me emerged for one reason; to save her. This story is a first draft and will contain typos and grammatical errors. I apologize for these in advance, and hope you can see beyond them to the story beneath. Happy reading!
