When Dante drinks the blood of a woman with AIDS, his health takes a turn for the worse. His immune system should be infallible, but here he is: every day, he wakes up healthy, only to attract another painful and rare disease during the day that is miraculously cured at night. It is a never-ending cycle and dreams and reality seem to blend into nothing but pain. And unlike Prometheus, there will not be a Heracles to kill the eagle and break the chains. He'll have to save himself, but can he do that when he's his own worst enemy? There's no antidote for life or suffering. *** Trigger warnings: loneliness, mild self-hate (mostly for being a vampire), passive desire to die, mention of past torture, detailed description of flu-like symptoms, symptoms of depression, anxiety Cover by the wonderful @_coffeewithhoney

[AMBYS WINNER 2024] Eccentric, troubled and undesirable, the Hargreaves twins Noah and Luna are often referred to as a curse upon mankind by the society of South Kerilia. And society is right. *** Luna Hargreaves is as unapproachable as they come, armed with poor manners, an uncanny interest in the occult and a fearsome bodyguard. All of them necessary according to her as she struggles to fend off the endless amounts of otherworldly horrors following her every footstep, as well as the threat of an unwanted fiancé. Ghostly adventures and unfortunate engagements are one thing, but when Luna and her brother's previously unknown origins begin unravelling in front of them, they soon find themselves with more knowledge than they would've preferred, and their identities crumbling before their eyes. Despite their best efforts to deny the fate designed for them and go about their lives, past drama creeps ever closer, and when a dire situation threatens the safety of their loved ones the twins come to realize they may need to embrace their nature in order to fight it.

Imani was just supposed to make sure that the lost dog got home safely, come back, and pretend like the mere thought of the owner with doe eyes and an armful of tattoos didn't make her question her entire belief system. Sounds simple enough...right? It isn't. (onc prompt #69 | when music becomes a way to communicate no words could compare)

Había una vez una Torre que lo dominaba todo y una tierra vuelta cenizas. Allí se encontraron un homúnculo sin nombre, una niña que contaba cuentos y un esclavo que también era un artista. No tenían nada en común, salvo que no eran dueños ni siquiera de sus propias vidas. Pero, a veces, solo eso es suficiente. En raras ocasiones basta un error de cálculos, un encuentro fuera de los márgenes de lo observable, para desatar cambios tan grandes que es imposible predecir hasta dónde pueden llegar. A veces solo se trata de la rabia que reside en la ternura. *** He decidido que sería mejor colocar algunas advertencias por las dudas sobre cierto contenido sensible: 1. En esta novela, si bien no hay escenas explícitas de abuso sexual, si se alude la violencia de este tipo, ya que es algo presente en el mundo que los personajes habitan. Puedo asegurar que no habrá escenas gráficas o especialmente cruentas sobre ello, pero tampoco es algo que esté del todo ausente en la historia. 2. En el mundo de Camino de Tiza no existen la homofobia, machismo o transfobia tal como la conocemos en nuestro mundo , sin embargo si que existen muchas formas de discriminación similares, lo mismo que racismo y clasismo, que serán un tema dentro del relato. No es un mundo igualitario, y habrá escenas crueles relacionadas con esto. 3. Hay escenas de violencia ejercida contra niños. 4. Aunque esta novela es una continuación directa del relato corto El último Rey Mono, disponible en mi perfil, se puede leer de manera totalmente independiente, porque fue pensaba de esa manera.

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)
