And they only leave you when you've already been swallowed by darkness.

What difference did it make? Well, there was no update. And after all, Brent wasn't online. He didn't tell his fans where he had gone, or if he had gone anywhere. Though, his profile was different. The profile picture of him with his little sister was gone and just gray. His bio was empty. His reading lists were gone. So the question remains: What happened?

#1 Mystery | #1 Thriller | #1 Young Adult Have you ever known someone more than you know yourself? Known them so inside out that you could finish their sentences and know what they're thinking, just with a glance? That was Casey and I. We were the ultimate best friends. We knew more than we should about each other. I was hopelessly and undeniably in love with him. I still remember the day perfectly. I wish I could say there was something to hint that it was coming. There was nothing. I thought I knew everything about him. Apparently not. He killed himself and a part of me died along with him. He was dead, and so was I. Or, so I thought. ** Cover by Reachingformorex ** © 2017 by LaurenJ22. All rights reserved.

[🏆THE AMBYS 2025 R3 QUALIFIER🏆] ****UNDERGOING REVAMPS**** I headbutted the hottest girl on campus. Now that girl won't leave me alone. Ryne is everything I can't stand: cocky, charming, and stupidly attractive with a wolfish gremlin smirk that should be illegal. Our one forehead-to-forehead collision should have been the end of it, but ever since she followed me on Instagram, she somehow shows up at every party I attend. The worst part? Ryne's actually funny. And sweet. And maybe I might want to kiss her. Then I met Blake Han at a frat party: blonde, mysterious charm that makes it genuinely hard to think straight, from a rival university, and is the complete opposite of Ryne in every way possible. Now I'm caught between them both. If you were me... who would you pick? ============================================== WARNING: This story is rated MATURE for explicit mentions of sexual content, violence and mental health issues.

For Alexei, it's never been about dating at all; he's been sent to get close to her because of an artefact tied to something old and dangerous. But as their meetings turn strange and violent, Amelia realises the city she thought she knew is hiding secrets far darker than a failed love life. And somewhere in between, Alexei finds himself losing control of the one thing he was meant to keep in check: His distance from her. ⋆♱✮♱⋆⋆♱✮♱⋆⋆♱✮♱⋆⋆♱✮♱⋆⋆♱✮♱⋆⋆♱✮♱⋆⋆♱✮♱⋆ Tropes: Supernatural/Paranormal Adventure, Action & Thriller, Slow-Burn Romance, Forced Proximity, Morally Grey MMC 💋, 1/3 Body Horror, 1/3 Gore and 1/3 Sexually Explicit COVER DONE BY CANVA PRO, ARTWORK BY PINTEREST © 2026 by eleeyjs (EJ Chow).
