Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

BOOK THREE The world was thrown into chaos the moment Carter lost his step mother. He just didn't realize it until it was too late. The war ravaged the world he lived in, destroying society and ruining more lives than he would ever be able to count, and he, though he always tried to ignore the fact, was the reason it happened. Demi always assumed he was the one who broke the world, Bay liked to brag that it was him, but fleshing it down to the marrow of this broken world, tearing back the layers to the very beginning, Carter knew. He knew he started this. And he knew he was the one who needed to end it. With unlikely companions at his side, people labelled as both enemy and friend fighting with him, Carter will fight literally everything he's ever known, everything he once believed in, to finally end this for once and for all. Because even the most cruel, the most malicious of people, were innocent when they were young, and sometimes... sometimes reminding them of that innocence is exactly what is needed to purify their evil.

Aeriss Fletcher is not a 'normal' individual. He is not able to calmly stand in a crowd, he is not someone who can freely speak to strangers, and it is impossible for him to remain relaxed around other people. Aeriss is a boy who has struggled throughout his life, with a disorder that has kept him encaged within the confinements of his own self built barriers. Because of this, Aeriss had been homeschooled. With his mother running a large retail corporation, they had the money and the countless resources to support Aeriss's needs, and allow the online education courses to take place. Therefore, it was never a problem to have Aeriss avoid contact with others. So despite the unavoidable family events, and occasional anxiety ridden outings with his mother, Aeriss felt that he really didn't need to be social with other people. Although, this convenient life slowly came to a petrifying halt when Aeriss learned that his mother was losing money fast, and her company was slowly drowning alongside them. With money being a growing concern, Aeriss's expensive online courses were no longer an option available to them. Which left them with one desperate choice, and that was for Aeriss to enter the public high school system. With this unavoidable issue at hand, Aeriss understood that there was not much he could do but self isolate until that dreaded first day of class. The first day he would step into a building with hundreds of other people, unprepared, and completely alone. But then, his therapist had an idea. The Buddy System. What if Aeriss had a friend that could be there alongside him throughout his school days, and help ease his anxiety? Someone he was familiar and comfortable with? It would be surprisingly simple to make a request to the school district and have them fit Aeriss's schedule into that of his friend. But there was one issue with this plan. Aeriss didn't have any friends. Although, of course, that was until he met Grayson Devaroux.

Keegan's the type of guy that's afraid to steal his neighbor's Wi-Fi. And in a city overrun with hunky new superheroes with more to hide than just their identities, crazy science teachers threatening to end all life on earth and, well, parents, that might not be the best character trait to have. Mix in the fact that there's a new villain who is as cunning as he is photogenic, a health hazardous best friend and having a massive-not-a-crush on a guy who doesn't even know you have superpowers and this may be the most awkward junior year of high school in history.

Due to unforeseen events, Jianyu was forced to marry Qing. Living together turned out to be tolerably difficult but the two soon found themselves falling for each other.

Years later fate brought them back together. Would love be able to heal their broken hearts this time around?

Raven Zheng is definitely not crazy. At least - that's what she tells herself. It's hard to believe that when no one else can see what you see. You see, Raven can see the dead. Ghosts, if you will. They're people who died, just looking for closure and a way to move on from this life. When Raven meets Cade Woods, she's surprised to find a person who understand what she's going through, at least a little bit. He doesn't see the dead, per se, but he's seen enough death in his life to see her point of view. And then the first body is found. Soon enough, Raven is catapulted into Cade's world. There seems to be a serial killer in town, one who has connections to Cade and his father that makes him a suspect in the murders, and Raven has no way to know whether or not he can be trusted at all, given his past and his suspicious parentage. But as the body count climbs, Raven and Cade realize that they might be the only ones with the knowledge to stop the killer, even if they have to embrace their past to do it.

**WINNER of 3 awards in 2016 and 2017** [[+18]] ** this book is on hold for now, but I haven't abandoned it. I'll do my best to get back and finish it, and many thanks for the amazing support from Aella fans <3 ** Aella is an island far away in the sea, with a few smaller islands around it. It is said that only the wind reaches it and ships rarely sail that far as it is mostly secluded from other lands. The Aellos is a tribe of several clans of hunters and warriors that existed for centuries on that island. Over the years, and mostly due to the harsh weather, the number of women have dropped drastically leading to fights and wars between the different clans of the tribe. Tired of being both subjects of dispute and objects of treaties, the proud women, referred to as Aellas, declared their own clan and secluded themselves in their own territory. Now there are only two clans: the Aellas, living in the north part of the island and above a very high cliff, and the Aellos, which is the clan of men living in the forests and small mountains on the rest of the island. All the laws of the tribe are now set for one purpose only: protecting the women and the survival of the tribe. To that reason, both clans meet once a year for what they call: Agape, the season of love, where a male from the Aellos and a woman from the Aellas choose each other to live together and enjoy each other's company for a month. Ceri, a 17 years old, is the only man living with the Aella clan. He was born and raised there, never once stepping foot beyond the limit of their territory... until the day he met the gorgeous Ithel. This is a romantic love story between the innocent Ceri and the lonely hunter, Ithel. [Disclaimer: Contains adult themes and graphic content + abuse and ra pe to be expected + manxman]
