A teenage bad boy, with a hatred for his family, has to chase a stranger all over town to find and save his little sister who has been kidnapped. *** When Dorian leaves one morning despite his mother's orders, it's just another simple act of rebellion that he's performed many times before, but it ends like no other. The seventeen year old bad boy dreams of moving out of home and leaving his family behind. He spends his days hanging out with his three friends just so he can escape the house he's forced to live in until he can break away forever. The day he gets to walk away from his uncaring mother and his annoying little sister couldn't come faster. Returning home after a day away, he finds the house destroyed and his sister, Misty, missing. When he learns she's been kidnapped, his mindset and his life changes. With his heartless mother ignorant to the problem, he has to figure out who has her and where they went, all on his own. He needs to find her and get her back, but when others get involved, the situation becomes a little more difficult and a lot more dangerous. It turns from a rescue into life or death. Dorian will have to risk his life to get Misty back, but with no one else prepared to do it, he'll do whatever he can. He just hopes he can succeed and stay alive. *** 📖Excerpt: Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! I don't stop until the door swings open to reveal my red-faced mother. "Walk away now!" "Who was he?" I ask, ignoring her threat. "Go away!" She tries to close the door but my hand slams against it, forcing it back open again. I won't let her win this time. "What do you know about him?" She shoots daggers at me with her eyes. "Why do you want to know?" "Because, unlike you, I'm going to find her." *** #1 Rankings: • Kidnapped - 10 Oct 21. • Protective - 18 Oct 21. • Vital - 26 May 22. • Neglectful - 26 May 22. • Torture - 7 June 23. • Suffering - 16 June 23. *** ⚠️Violence.⚠️

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes, etc.)

An acclaimed, award-winning thriller, published and translated around the world, now freely available on Wattpad. Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away. The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know. Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable... Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Reviews "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... A pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times "Anyone would enjoy Evans' clever, relentlessly absorbing debut thriller that becomes a lot more than just another serial-killer mystery." - The Ottawa Citizen "In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure across five continents ... (a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly
