They say belief is suicide. They're not wrong. Where I come from, faith gets you a bullet in the head, a knock at the door that never ends well, or a name etched on a list you'll never live to see. Still, I believe. So does Basil, my only constant in a world stripped of everything soft. We've been hunted for years, slept under stone, eaten from dirt, prayed in secret, and watched good people vanish for whispering the wrong words. We've made it all these years with nothing but our prayers and each other. But then came the rumour about a sanctuary where the believers can live fearlessly. A lie, probably. A trap, almost definitely. Basil wanted to chase it anyway, because we owed it to ourselves and to the others who share our struggle, he said. I went with him only because I couldn't bear to watch him go alone. I should've stopped him... But now it's too late. ❝Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers(Ghuraba).❞ ‹بَدَأَ الإِسْلاَمُ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ› (Includes books one, two and three in The Ghuraba Trilogy.)

A Book of Poetry, pretty self explanatory.

Aumee is known as 'wannfota' by many in the Waystland: the bird with black feet. She is owned by Daya, a renowned witch who trains young women as her spies before selling them off as wives. In order to maintain what little freedom she has as Daya's assassin, she obeys any and all commands with no questions asked. That changes when Aumee senses that Daya is after something important. After bargaining her freedom for the spellbook that Daya is after, Aumee is determined to find the book no matter the costs. All she has to do is track down a spellbook, but she soon finds that her desire for freedom is further from her reach than she had ever thought. Forced to work with Daya's cursed informant, Fal, Aumee must bargain with a set of twins who own the book in order to fulfill her end of the deal. *** Amazing cover done by @saintelysian !

[Complete - 3/28/2021] Charles Henlock was on vacation in France with his family when he fell in love with Audrine. When it was time to return to Nevada, he gave her his heart and promised that he'd write to her. Little did he know that every time he sent a letter to Audrine, his parents would intercept it and hide it with all of the other unsent letters to stop them from being together. Fifty-seven years later, Charles became Grandpa Charlie and that box of letters became a dirty secret of his past. Until he finds himself on his deathbed. He asks his granddaughter to get the letters to Audrine, hoping that they could give her some closure after almost six decades of silence from the only man she'd ever loved. Maisie isn't used to doing things without her parents permission, but she is determined to fulfill her grandpa's last wish. Hoping that along the way, she'll learn more about her grandpa's past, she starts on her journey to the South of France to find Charlie's long lost love. When she discovers that Audrine also became a grandparent to a very handsome man, she starts to realize that history may be repeating itself. Will she break the cycle and follow her heart, or is she doomed to follow in her grandfather's footsteps? Editors: @sofiagv_writes @RainCloudHannah and @Biatchxpurlease Cover: @apagado

Ellie has a secret. It's not exactly a big secret (at least not from her friends) but it's not a secret she cares to indulge in too often because she knows how it makes her look - like an eccentric fan, who doesn't have a life and really has nothing better to do than daydream all day about Nolan Taylor, the next up and coming music star. At least to Ellie, he is the next big thing. So yes, that means she is one of many fan girls out there, totally mesmerised by everything he says and does. There's just the small matter that she daren't put out there: she is definitely; completely; almost certainly, in love with him. As crazy as it sounds, it's true and the only person in the world she can trust to not give her grief about it, is her newest best friend, AJ. Only problem is, she lives miles away in Ireland. As does Nolan. When AJ offers her the chance to finally visit her, she jumps at the chance, not realising she has a secret of her own - for Ellie to finally meet her one true love. Not that Ellie would ever let herself fall for Nolan for real, given he is not only out of her league, but also five years her junior. Still, it's not long before Ellie finds herself in the midst of a tough decision: give into the feelings that she knows are true or fight against them, knowing that they could never possibly work. Or could they?

Lyrical Cyrax is dead. Dead as dead can be. But she wasn't always that way. After launching on a mission from Earth and crashing on an alien planet, her daily life is gone. No more Earth. No more school, no more missions, and no more normal. For four years, Lyrical strives to move on. To leave the planet she's been stuck on. But before she has the chance to leave, he appears. In all his Earth-like glory, Zyan crashes on the same planet she's been stranded on for four years, offering her last chance of getting back to Earth. But things get in the way. New allies appear, along with new foes. Someone doesn't want her to leave. Someone is doing everything they can to stop her from going to the place she's been trying to get to for years. In a world where life and death is a game, where living is a risk, and where everything is a danger, Lyrical must chose between going back to her old life... or saving her new one.

COMPLETE ✔️ We like to believe that danger is obvious. That it stands out. That it warns us. That we would see it coming. But what if it doesn't? The Shape of What We Overlook is not just a look at ten infamous serial killers-it is an exploration of what allowed them to exist. Through cases like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and others, this book moves beyond the surface of crime and into something deeper: The environments that shaped them. The systems that failed. The moments that were missed. This is not a story about monsters. It is a reflection on something far more unsettling... How ordinary things can conceal extraordinary harm. Because what we overlook... Doesn't disappear. It takes shape.

"My dad was lying unconscious on the bed, amidst the mess of various things, and my mom and brother were not in the room. Instead... they were inside the huge mirror that was hanging in front of the bed, with ...with ...my sister, Sami. Their eyes bored into mine and the devilish grins on their faces reflected their intentions. And they weren't looking happy." When my dad told my family about our surprise vacation in the country, I wasn't very happy. I hated surprises; they were never good. But the one person who wasn't pleased with this, decided to stay back, alone. I wasn't okay with her being alone either. And I was right. I should've known it was her. I know I should've done something about it. But I didn't. And that one mistake almost resulted in my demise. #1 in Best Blurb- Fall Hearts Awards #3 in Horror/Paranormal- The Summer Smoothie Awards #1 in Best Matching Cover (The credit goes to @-StarKat- )- Fall Hearts Awards #2 in Underrated Books- Fall Hearts Awards #2 in Fall Hearts Awards
