[FINISHED] ____________________________________ Whenever a bad thing occurs, someone would always say "Look at the bright side!" or "Look at the silver lining!" They however, don't know that there isn't always hope in despair. If there is light, there is a shadow after all. As I like to say "Don't waste time. There may be no tomorrow". ____________________________________ William Adams, just about like any other normal person in this world. Though, what makes him stand out is that he is somewhat different, alluring even. But what does make him stand out? This person had a wish just like any other person his age after all... Being in love with another person that will also love them back. And did he find someone like that? Yes, he did. And maybe she did as well. Quite a love-struck couple those two were. If you saw them, you'd think they would have already married... Though, taken from the tragic tales of high school love... There is a reason it's called first love only. It is the first, but not the last. They split apart. He was 16 at the time. He couldn't eat properly for days. Cried endlessly for someone he lost. Though what was he crying for? She did not die after all... Ẃ̴̱̝̟͒́̊̽̔͛̐̒̀̐̈́͌̾ȩ̶̨̗̫͈͈͓̮͕́̓̌͊͗̑͒̐i̸͎̰̟̳̰̪͚͕̪̮̯̫͇̎̈́̈̎͜r̷̡̠͚̳̮͕̭̪̬͉̥̈́͌̍̍̆̅̌͂̌̎͛̚͜ͅḑ̸̱͕͒̓̐. And as in all things of life, everything is not permanent. Nothing stays still. Time is linear, It will always move forwards. He just about turned 18. Studying in college, Met someone new, and has a supportive friend... It seems he has reached the "Silver Lining" in his story. Unbeknownst to him though, He is yet to see it.

Someone who would slowly change everything. But love is never that simple. Sometimes, the truth is far more dangerous than heartbreak. I won't reveal too much because some secrets are better discovered by the readers themselves. Will she have the courage to fight for this new love? Or will the past destroy the chance she never thought she'd have again? If you enjoy slow-burn romance, psychological mystery, emotional scenes, plot twists, and characters with complicated pasts, then He Found Me might be for you. Read at your own risk. Happy reading! 🖤

Highest Ranks: |Mystery/Thriller #1| |Action #3| I was trained my whole life to disarm a grown man using nothing but a credit card, nail files, and a sock if I'm lucky. Becoming a cheerleader sounded laughable compared to everything I've done. But I soon learn that balancing spirit weeks, cute boys, and curling wands along with nuclear weapons, evil psychopaths, and rogue agents is a lot more work than I thought. I mean would you suspect a varsity cheerleader to be a spy working for the CIA? Or Interpol? The FBI maybe? Of course not which is why it works. Never judge a book or a girl by her cover. ••BOOK 1 IN THE JUST UNDERCOVER TRILOGY•• *cover by @THEICEWOLVES

What's the difference between living and merely existing when your life moves to the same rigid rhythm every single day? Kimi Disvinadiya, a half-Russian, half-Eastern boy raised in a strict middle-class household, has spent most of his life following rules so obsessively that even his emotions feel rehearsed. Every day is predictable. Controlled. Safe. But everything changes the moment he wakes up as a girl. Despite the abrupt transformation, Kimi continues living exactly as before. Clinging desperately to the routine that has long masked the emptiness inside him. Yet as his new identity slowly begins affecting the people around him and the way he sees himself, the fragile structure of his carefully controlled life starts to crack. Will this strange change finally force Kimi to truly live? Or will he continue existing behind the comfort of routine until nothing remains of him at all?

🔞 Too much love can kill you. Will you break free from this person's control, or will you stay captivated in a web of obsession? . . . ━─━────༺༻────━─━ ☆ I'm writing when I'm feeling it. ☆ beginner in writing, pls be kind^°^ ☆ open for criticism^•^ ✩ this story is dedicated to my bff, ate Rose^_^

Disclaimer-In this AU relationships may or may not be happening. such as Gerpol and Canada x Ukraine in this story America hosts a party at his house. of course, he wants to do something stupid and they decide to sleepover at a "haunted" house in the neighbourhood. little do they know they made the wrong decision. . . can they fix it in time? nobody knows. Don't mind the shitty art on the cover. I can't really draw =/ Anyways welcome to my shitty book where everyone may or may not be murdered/tortured.

What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open wound
