Talvolta lo siamo anche della nostra.» Bronx, 2023. Ci troviamo nel quartiere più malfamato di New York, dove la vita gioca con la morte ogni giorno. Proprio qui, in un palazzo malridotto che affaccia su un parco ormai abbandonato, abitano i Miller. Una famiglia disagiata, composta soltanto da 4 ragazzi. Jake, Dean, Will e Sky. La loro vita non è mai stata semplice e l'abbandono dei loro genitori non ha fatto altro che peggiorare quella che era la loro condizione. Ma nonostante le difficoltà che devono affrontare ogni giorno, tra spese, mutui da pagare e debiti di ogni tipo, hanno trovato da soli finalmente un equilibrio. Fino a quando loro non sono tornati. I Raiders. Il gruppo più temuto del Bronx. Anche loro sono quattro, uno più scaltro e crudele dell'altro. Non hanno limiti. Trevor De Marco, Kai Clinton, Alexander Morrison e Tom Philips. Si scaglieranno immediatamente contro i Miller e il loro gruppo, in cerca di guai e divertimento. Si ritroveranno, però, ben presto a rischiare grosso anche loro. Vecchi rancori, vendette, amori perduti, pericoli, nuove sfide da affrontare e sempre nuovi problemi da risolvere. Niente è come sembra. E anche il migliore tra tutti in realtà ha dei segreti. Questo è Limitless. ‼️Si consiglia la lettura ad un pubblico consapevole. Troverete abusi (verbali e fisici), scene di violenza, DCA, droga, linguaggio volgare e esplicito, scene di sesso e tutto ciò c'è di sbagliato e immorale al mondo. SENZA LIMITI.

*His silver gaze, so reflective and transparent, was opaque and blocked off in disgust as he looked down at me with the first emotion I had ever seen on his emotionless face: a sneer so packed with hatred that I almost recoiled back in horror. "Just remember, you did this to yourself, princess," he murmured, his lips so close to mine that I could almost taste the hard bite to his words, his harshness and his hostility.* - They're the kings of the rival school, East Bridge. All powerful. All untouchable. All hot. And unfortunately, as the town policy dictates, I'm their number one enemy, their biggest threat and the catalyst for their destruction, rendering me their target when I'm forced to transfer. But unlike everyone else, I don't engage in town politics, I don't take sides and I definitely do not follow commands. I am Darcy Ravencourt and I bow down to no one, no matter how much they want to put me in my place. I'm here for one thing and one thing only: to graduate so I can leave this godforsaken town and all its problems. And no one will be able to stop me, not even them. Especially not them. - Copyright © 2020 signedlayla

When her friend is wrongly sacrificed to a sinister forest, a girl tricks a demon prince into helping her reveal a powerful priest's twisted nature and rid the land of a mysterious blight rotting the crops and turning the people of Belle Parish mad. --- Seventeen-year-old Eloise Marlow is supposed to be on her best behavior as the newest Debutante in Belle Parish, according to her mother. When she comes of age, she'll be married off to a boy from a wealthy estate, but only if she follows the rules and keeps her nose where it belongs. In a gossip-fueled southern parish where the rich pull the strings behind the overreaching church, it's nearly impossible for Eloise to mind her own business. After a night of juvenile mistakes, Eloise finds herself at the judgment of her closest friend. Caught with a boy while unbetrothed, her friend is banished into Dreadwood, a sinister forest where demons are whispered to rule. Father McRae, sentencer and head priest, preaches that sacrifices and ridding the parish of any impure keeps their crops bountiful and their health pristine. The parish eats up his words, but Eloise notices how the boy her friend was with goes unpunished, how they all seem to go unpunished while girls are tossed to the forest for their alleged witchery. Determined to reveal Father McRae's wicked ways, Eloise sets off on a perilous path filled with secrets, betrayal, and an evil so vast it could swallow her whole. But when she tricks a darkly charming demon prince into helping her, she doesn't know what is more dangerous to her anymore--him or Dreadwood.

Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️

Highest in Werewolf: #2 "Selene, my daughter, please hear us out. I know we don't deserve it, but your sister is pregnant and-" I held up my hand to stop the man named Benicio Dixon from speaking. Surely they didn't call me here just so they can dump all their personal problems onto me or dig up the past. If that was the case, they're quite foolish. I'm not interested in the slightest. Shifting my attention from my father to the woman he stood behind, my gaze narrowed on the small but visible bump under her sundress. Hestia Anne Dixon. My younger sister. The Luna of my old pack and the woman my mate chose over me. She was pregnant. I turned to the male sitting beside her in the Alpha's seat. Guilt and regret crossing his striking features when he refused to meet me in the eye. "If the reason you called me here is because of this nonsense" I gestured between my sister and mate, "Then it would appear I wasted my time. With all due respect, Beta Dixon, I am an Alpha. I have many and much more important things to do than discuss petty mate bonds. If It wasn't obvious enough, I'll make myself clear-" I stood up, not caring for the gazes burning into my skin. "Whether or not she has this pup has nothing to do with me. Luna Walker's mate has nothing to do with me. In fact, none of you have anything to do with me outside of pack business. If you're worried about my interference-- don't. I won't say nor do anything. To put it simply, I don't want him. I didn't want him for the past four years since he rejected me and you all left me to die. Rest assured that seeing him again won't change anything. Now if you'll excuse me, I have things to attend to." I held my head high, walking off with my Beta trailing behind me. Just as I reached the door, it abruptly pulled open and I came face to face with the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life. Dark, crystal grey eyes bore into me and I found myself go still. Alpha Raizel Locksworth. The Bloodlust Alpha.

But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.
