May Khan's life was always pretty normal, but with final exams, prom and graduation looming around the corner, she didn't care much for anything except for getting out of high school. On her eighteenth birthday, however, her entire life changes. After finding a mysterious man claiming to be the Pharaoh of Egypt, a strange vision and her aunt's teachings force her to help him. Pharaoh Akhenatem had ruled Egypt with a stone heart and an iron fist. And when his cruelty gets out of hand, a red-eyed wizard curses him and sends him thousands of years into the future to a world where ignorance, arrogance and selfishness rules.

With the help of May's kind and selfless nature, an unexpected love finds the both of them as May comes to realize that evil is not as simple of a concept as it seems and that everyone has their own story.

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. 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!❤️

Arianna Collins is mortal. Or so she thought. It's not easy living among five super siblings when she's only human. Living in a neighbourhood reserved for supers doesn't make things much better. Except when the new neighbour, Hunter Waters, changes everything. Hunter exposes Arianna to a new type of supernaturals. Before long, Arianna finds herself developing powers she never knew she had. When mysterious supernaturals bomb her siblings' school, she discovers a new war brewing between them and the supers. Arianna's growing abilities don't help. She soon realizes that both she and Hunter aren't human--and they're not supers either. With the new battle pushing them closer together, Arianna has never been less safe. Buckle your seatbelts. You're going to need them. ** Edit: I wrote this when I was fourteen. I've been told it's good, but personally I would not touch it with an eleven foot pole. Maybe it's me being overcritical of my old writing, but please read at your own risk. :) <3
