There were three things Tristan Kingston always believed in: love, family, and friendship. When he fell in love with his best friend, Camilla Jackson, in ninth grade he knew automatically he would spend his life with her. Falling in love with Tristan was the best thing that happened to Camilla. Throughout high school they were considered the 'it' couple, she believed she was the luckiest of girls. As they moved in together during college their relationship became even deeper. What happens when Camilla wakes up one morning to an empty bed with only a note from Tristan? Has her luck ran out, or is this the beginning of something different?

✈️ Formerly featured on Wattpad Picks✈️ Thomas has it all: nobility, money, the girl, and a position waiting for him at the family business. But when he thinks about the life ahead of him, he can't breathe. So he takes a gap year backpacking. Nadia's relationship with Khai has many faults, but true love isn't supposed to be easy, and she's already joined him, belatedly, halfway around the world. So, she might as well stick it out. When Thomas and Nadia meet in a hostel in Peru, sparks fly, then Nadia finds herself dumped and almost out of cash. It's the perfect time for Thomas to make his move. Unfortunately, Nadia is determined to get back with her ex and is on her way to Cusco to do just that. So, Thomas follows, braving dodgy night buses and budget accommodation in a bid to win her heart. If you: *like a romance that doesn't take itself too seriously; *ever enjoyed a humorous Regency romance - and don't mind the clichés applied to a contemporary fiction; *laughed at those awkward moments in Travels with My Father; *have a case of wanderlust; *savour a slow-burn romance; *or think the nice guys deserve a chance, then I hope this may be a story for you! Warning, this book contains sex scenes and themes of emotional abuse. It is a work of fiction. 🌍 Top rankings: #2 Romance 9th July 2019 😱 #1 Travel 11th July 2019 [Wattpad Picks, Featured List, June 2018] [Featured on the following Ambassador Profiles: Chicklit, Undiscovered Books, Dangerous Love, Adventure] [Third place, Wattpairs Peer Mentorship Program, 2019] [Reviews by @HillbillieNolan in 'Nolan and Gracie's Book Reviews'; @Kelea_Dove in 'Book Reviews by Kelea'; @BornToWrite47 in 'Workshop.']

Fame is a game of chess with each complicated move roped into a chain reaction, nudging a dreamer down the steps further away from a name in lights to place an enhanced version to be celebrated on the throne. It's a game that has a glass wall that many shy away from, the brave admitting defeat. When Blair Nazari is offered the seemingly flawless key into a world she's only seen from the comfort of a TV screen, she jumps at the chance to welcome the cameras that reveal themselves to cause nothing but havoc, tears and a lot of betrayal in between. After all, nothing ever comes easy once the dotted lines are signed. cover by : @scrappily

---Book of the Month 2018 winner in the sci-fi category from awardofthemonth2018--- ---1st place winner in teen fic Writer's Circle Awards by concinnitycircle--- A/N: This book is action-packed with a sprinkle of mystery all wrapped in a science-fiction teen drama! I know. It's quite a mouthful. Cue the summary! *** Skylar is born with predetermined odds against her. She's been isolated since birth from her true nature and her peers in the name of an experiment. A change of plans cause the people in charge to order her relocation to Oakwood, a microscopic town swarming with mutants like her. They silently follow her journey as Riley is confronted to strange locals, a boy that hates her guts and nightmarish monsters lurking around her house. Throughout the series, she slowly but surely discovers truths about herself she could never fathom... and that there is a daunting trap waiting to snap. One life. One experiment. Endless lies. Some cussing and violence invovled. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK OF A SERIES AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY DARKER 😈 Disclaimer : My story is inspired from Jennifer Armentrout's series Lux (basically, credits to her because this wouldn't exist otherwise). There are many differences but also several similarities. The plot isn't centered the same, either way. I just have fun writing and twisting up my favorite elements.

Book #3 Lauren is back, and the small town of Oakwood reels into a near-psychosis. In the dead of a harsh winter, mutants struggle to come to terms with reality; NIO is always watching, closing in slowly but surely. A sentence is pending over Riley and Luc's heads. It's up to them to figure out how to save their friends and keep the dangers at bay, but the walls are shrinking with a force neither can stop. The force of time. This pursuit of freedom has already cost them innocent lives, but more sacrifices will have to be made. //temporary summary until I come up with better// sorry// My challenge will be pacing. It is a longer book and a slow-burn in terms of events. I wouldn't say it's dragging, but as a first draft, some things may not be 100% well-adjusted. Do expect new developments, a darker tone, and obviously grief throughout the whole narrative. This book's ending might ruin your emotions a tad. It's probably the darkest ending I've ever plotted yet. TRIGGER WARNING: yet another character will be showing some disturbing behavior. It revolves around violence, self-harm and suicide. It's not said outright but rather one action they will do will reflect heavily on it. Be aware, and again, my goal is not to write about such things but rather to use them as tools for my characters. This issue portrayed in Book 3 will not last the whole plot like with Emma in the second. It'll be a quicker, sneakier one.

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.
