Sentiment (noun) sen·​ti·​ment ˈsen-tə-mənt : an attitude, thought, or judgment prompted by feeling. "You just don't look....safe." Essence said while sipping her drink. "Naw, I only ain't safe for the niggas that hate me." "But for you, I'll be real cautious..."

"You knew that Ryder belonged to Pristine yet you still went for him so obviously, I gotta admit that made me gain a lot of respect for you." He chuckled as he grabs a chair to sit down in front of me, from the angle I was being held down at I could only see his ankles. "But unfortunately for you pristine wasn't thrilled about that hence why I'm here, to teach you a lesson about stealing what belongs to other people." Hearing those words made my heart drop, now I was really scared what they were going to do to me. "Ty." He says signaling with his hand for him to get off of me. That salty taste in the back of my throat started to develop as my eyes began to sting with tears. "Please," I whimper. "What are you going to do to me?" I cry. "Awh." Brody's eyes widen as he gets out of his chair and kneels on the ground in front of me. He stares at me as he holds my face in his cold rough palms. "I'm not a good guy Kimberly, don't cry," he tells me in a comforting voice as he wipes my tears with his thumbs. "And definitely don't beg me, it only turns me on." That simple sentence alone makes me burst into more uncontrollable tears as I try to weep silently so he wouldn't hear but the more I held it in the louder it came out. "Please Brody." I weep. "Okay okay how about this, I'll bring Dylan back to you safe and sound if you obey everything I say." He tells me. "That sound good?" I nod my head slowly feeling like there was more to this sketchy agreement. "Good girl." He says as he gets up and to turn the lights on to the living room. "Now Ty," he says as he pulls his phone out of his pocket and angles the back camera at me. "Take her clothes off." (WARNING: Mention of Rape)

The mayor of Toronto collapses and dies while making a speech. The newspaper receives an email -- a fake obituary that claims credit for his murder.

In a Futurist-Victorian London, Ex-Carnie Victor Hart makes his living as a dinner party entertainer and mountebank, using the skills taught to him by his Romani mother – the Patterns. When tragedy strikes a wealthy friend, Victor Hart puts his skills to use in an alternative manner. This Steampunk London has its fair share of psychos, sickos, and sadists, and it takes a special kind of mind to hunt them. Victor sees human behaviour in a way few others can understand but only as an outsider; certain parts of his humanity are missing and that disturbs him. As he solves each seemingly unrelated case, a dark pattern slowly begins to reveal itself threatening the heart of the British Empire and even what we feel makes us human. A Steampunk-detective-noir, darker than most, the first volume features four thrilling cases; the first novel in a Duology.

Cover By ArabelleWinchester "Please Jack, I'm sorry," I begged him. I knew I looked like shit while he looked like a Greek god who just woke up. "I was wrong!" "Alana? What happen?" Jack asked. "S-she dead," I told him, letting a cry come from my lips. "Who?" He asked. I closed my eyes tightly, not wanting to think about it. I heard a motorcycle and gun shots. "Jack?" I asked. My eyes widen. "Get inside," He demanded grabbing my arms and pulling me into his house. **** Warning written when I was 13. Going through editing now.

If you can see them, then you're already dead. If you can hear them, then you're not far from it. If you can smell them, like the forest they live in, then avoid danger at all conceivable costs. Because they're the monsters in the shadows of Harvey Hill's forests, and their king needs his queen.

Grace Faith is nobody. The only person she talks to is her best friend Lily and sometimes even this one guy named Dean. Her brother had mainly derived all the high school's attention on himself and nobody ever pays attention to her. She's a very weak she-wolf and lacks the confidence in everything she does. Ryder Devereux was the complete opposite. He's the typical bad-boy you see in high school and is also the next alpha king. His father sent him off from school to school to find his mate, but Ryder only took that opportunity to get into even more drugs and girl's pants. They were both different but both very similar as well. They both have their own insecurities and they push everybody away. So what would happen when fate puts these two very different wolves together? Would they forget their differences and learn to love each other? Would they speak up and fight through their struggle together? Or would everything fall apart because of Grace's lack of confidence and Ryder's past?
