The night Maelys was born, a storm made a decision for her. A desperate woman, a coerced midwife, and a courtyard where someone died in the rain conspired to place one infant in a palace and erase another from the record entirely. Twenty-two years later, someone has come to unmake it, and she has twenty-two years of righteous fury, a powerful patron, and the specific weapon of a truth that supports multiple stories at once. Raised in the painted corridors and orange-blossom courtyards of Solenir Palace, Maelys knows how to read a room before she enters it, how to wear humor like armor over something more serious underneath, and how to survive in a court that admires her with one hand and doubts her with the other. She has been exceptional here her entire life. She knows what exceptions are for. When the girl she unknowingly replaced arrives with documents, damage, and the kind of righteous anger that is the most dangerous kind because it is not entirely wrong, nothing careful is enough anymore. With a conspiracy threading through the court's most elegant rooms, a bodyguard who has been keeping a report in a locked box for eight years waiting for the right person to receive it, and a crown prince who asks before he touches and is not without fault and is learning the difference between those two facts, Maelys must fight for her name, her life, and the identity she has spent twenty-two years choosing rather than receiving. This is a slow burn interracial historical romance with explicit intimacy, graphic violence, and a world that does not soften its edges for the comfort of anyone in it. It is a story about what is owed and what is chosen, about love as a continuous practice rather than a destination, about darkness that stays and is carried rather than resolved, and about a woman who refuses, repeatedly, in every room that tries to define her, to let anyone else decide who she is. Dark. Tender. Permanent. Earned. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.

#272 in teen fiction {june 26 '16} ×× Protagonist - Eva Antagonist - Life as we know it ∆ It was a hour long drive from the airport to our new house. I always found car rides really horribly boring and unbearable. The constant honking,the bumps on the road, the whirr of the engine - it's the absolute recipe for 'Not Being Able To Sleep.' And that my friends is the major reason behind why I despise car rides - because I don't get to sleep. No matter how hard I try, no matter how I position my back or body or arms, no matter how sleepy or tired I am, no matter how soothing the music is - I'm never able to sleep during car rides. Also - claustrophobia. And a closed moving vehicle that makes me feel uneasy and trapped is a nightmare at the least. Add to that, it being midnight when our plane landed, meaning I had to spend the peak of my sleeping hours awake (in the moving thing) and you get an overly annoyed and cranky Eva. ∆ #346 in teen fiction {June 25 2016} © 2016

This is my review of the Wattpad novel, "The First Out". I encourage other Wattpad users to read it. It'll inspire you.

In Legacy Hills, truth doesn't just set you free. It hunts you down. Morgan Welkin has officially survived the placement trials. Earning the title of a Skyhart Vanguard at the prestigious, enigmatic Shujaa Guild should have been her ultimate victory. But as she steps through the gilded, phoenix-carved gates of Ashbrook Lyceum, Morgan realizes that her trials haven't ended-they've simply evolved. Thrust into the elite "Jawroom" alongside eleven wildly powerful, Weave-touched prodigies, Morgan must navigate a curriculum where the magic is tied to psychological truth and survival. To make matters worse, she's drawn to Emmett Morehouse-a scarred, amethyst-eyed "Ironmancer" who navigates the school's dangerous, shifting architecture with a quiet, magnetic ease. Their connection sparks a rhythm she can't ignore, but in a school built on secrets, trust is a dangerous currency. Outside the classroom, the shadows are lengthening. Armed with her late father's cryptic training journal-which hides ancient Weave-glyphs and terrifying sketches of the violet-black entity stalking her dreams-Morgan is piecing together a legacy that defies the laws of magic itself. Meanwhile, her Uncle Zander carries a world-shattering burden: the soul-echo of Morgan's father is tethered to the living world, waiting to cross the Veiled Margin. But the Weaveforce demands balance, and anomalies rarely go unpunished. Handed a mysterious golden puzzle piece on her first day, Morgan is about to discover that her placement in the Vanguard cohort was no accident. She is a piece of a much larger, ancient puzzle. And the board is already set.

Thirty-three-year-old Amira Al-Fassi knows how to read the fine print of human nature. As a rare textile conservator in Toronto's historic Annex, her hands are trained to handle fragile, dangerous things with surgical precision. To her neighbors, she is the block's anchor-fierce, elegant, and entirely immune to nonsense. But her real masterpiece is her privacy. Behind three deadbolts, her home is a silent sanctuary of ancient rituals, rescue animals, and absolute freedom. She doesn't do romance. She doesn't do exceptions. Then, after ten months of radio silence, Dante Mansour sits on her porch steps. To the neighborhood, he is "Danny"-the twenty-seven-year-old golden boy from the pillar family down the street who left the block and made ungodly amounts of money in high finance. He is charming, easygoing, and completely harmless. But when the front door closes, the smile drops. Dante doesn't bring flowers, and he doesn't ask for a first date. He knows that with a woman as fiercely avoidant as Amira, a traditional pursuit is a losing game. Instead, he slides a thick white envelope across her marble counter. Inside is a legally binding, certified document that shatters her carefully structured reality. He didn't ask permission. He didn't play by the rules. He simply used his immense leverage to pull her into a high-stakes trap before she even knew she was a target. Amira is used to outsmarting everyone on the block, but Dante is already five steps ahead. Now, they are stepping onto a dark, stained path of obsession, psychological chess, and unhinged calm-where the only way out is to figure out exactly how deeply his trap was set. Please note this is written with AI as the author cannot spell.
