What're you supposed to do when you can't trust your loved ones? What about when life and death comes into play?
____
Six years ago best friends Avalon and Julian went to the summer fair with her dad Conner and his brother Salem to celebrate turning fourteen. The fun didn't last more than two hours.
     While Conner and Julian used the bathroom, Avalon and Salem waited on a bench by the Teacups, wishing they could tell one another how they really feel about one another.  Over twenty minutes passes with no confessions made. Conner and Julian don't return either. 
     Eventually, Avalon's dad is found murdered and Julian's missing without a trace, like his friend Seth had gone two months earlier.  The only suspect Avalon and Salem can come up with is Julian's bully, and he's found innocent. 
     As the summer comes to an end and no leads are found, Avalon and Salem pull apart and blame for what happened is put on Avalon. 
     Now, with the six year anniversary coming up, Julian contacts them both, bringing them back together for a little scavenger hunt that'll lead them to the truth about what happened at the fair. It'll also reveal some family secrets. Only to get the clues and some not so pretty answers, Avalon and Salem have to watch their backs: more than one person is out to get them.

Hope can't remember what happened the night of the tragedy, but everyone assures her she couldn't have done anything to save her sister. Juliet Price has attended Redwood High since the beginning of sophomore year, but she's never spoken to Hope, Juliet doesn't fit in with her classmates as she wasn't born rich and she didn't grow up getting everything she wanted. The only reason Juliet is at the exclusive private school is because she's living with her wealthy aunt and uncle. Juliet knows what happened to Eleanor Flynn, most of the world does. The Flynn family are very wealthy and very famous. Even though Juliet and Hope have never spoken, Juliet can tell that Hope is acting weird and she doesn't think it's entirely because Eleanor is dead.

When the two start investigating, they realize that the truth is pointing to something dark. Almost everyone attending Redwood has secrets, and they'll do what it takes to keep them private.

Pointed Gun by SincerelyU

Have you ever seen a play? Watching actors parade around a stage reciting made up lines to entertain an audience, or walk away in tears when the boos and hurtful comments came flying at their sometimes horrible performance. Have you ever experienced what it felt like to be vulnerable and alone? Without a sole propose or clue of who you are or what you're supposed to be? Well congratulations, you're in one. ******* In this twisted life bred on loyalty, blood, and betrayal, There was no way Syncear could say what was really going on in her sane life turned insane. Not knowing the worth until she was forced to pay the ultimate price whether she wanted to, or not. The good. The bad, all wrapped up into one huge lie, that no one could ever tell the difference. And the only way for Boston to keep from getting hurt--or losing his head--, he had to force his own hand. Breaking glass to sabotage those he didn't trust. Who he thought was on his side from the very beginning, proved him wrong. Terribly wrong. And Those whom he believed to be against him, taught him one hell of a valuable lesson. Taking a moment to reconsider his 'family' was the smartest thing he could ever do. Through the storms of blood and jealousy, everything became crystal. Deeply hidden secrets brung up from the grave, and with many others better off that way, they finally opened the eyes of the mind and saw what life was actually filled with and just how toxic and evil it really was. #30 in Mysterious #166 in Criminal #64 in criminal. 6/23/18 #32 in criminal. 6/24/18 #25 in criminal. 6/25/18 #21 in criminal. 6/30/18 #14 in criminal. 7/8/18 ⚠WARNING⚠: Story contains very strong language throughout, Mild Violence, and occasional graphical scenes.

The Bad Boy is Back (Book 2) by Jenleighna

(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.

It has teenagers that had to become adults too fast and shows the importance of family. The story contains some language and abuse but no sexual content. ___________________________________________________________________________ Update: The beginning of the story isn't my best work, but I promise it gets better. Bare with me and you will see how my writing style changes a bit during the book; I'm just too lazy to go back and rewrite the first couple chapters ;) ENJOY!

Scream: A Newtmas Murder Mystery by DarkPhoenix-223

[EDIT] THE STORY IS UNDERGOING SOME REVISIONS SO THAT IT WON'T BE CRINGEY. I wrote this three years ago, so cut me some slack people. [EDIT 2] THE STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REVISED. I edited a lot. Entire chapters are changed, the dilemma, the songs, the interactions, and even the deaths have all been made, in my mind, better. I really wanted to make this a thriller, but I also wanted mature elements in here, and I definitely didn't want you guys to read anything cringey. So, this is the final director's cut of my novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy and appreciate my revisions. Thanks so much. [EDIT 3] Okay I'm still not satisfied I need to keep updating the parts so sorry everyone lmao The inhabitants of Mazeboro, CA have never seen too much trouble, especially not a string of murders that begin to happen all over town. Newton and his friends are shocked and horrified as two of their friends are among the first to be murdered. And in the midst of this disorder, newcomer Thomas Greene brings a breath of fresh air to the students at Mazeboro High. He plays lacrosse, has a kind disposition, and is quite attractive. He catches Newt's attention, and the two form a strong friendship, despite the murders hitting closer and closer to home. Newt and Thomas, along with their friends, must band together and act as one. But, as less and less people remain, fingers are pointed and distrust ensues. Paranoia settles in. Newt must determine who is guilty and who is not, before every single person is dead. A classic Murder Mystery tale, with romance, drama, and plot twists.

Trailer Park Boys: Blue Eyed Angel (Fan-Fiction) by Song_Wolf_Lover69

(I do not own the rights of the Trailer Park Boys, nor do I own any rights of the characters or the settings. I only own rights to my own characters) This book will be based on both 'Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys and Countdown till Liquor Day' (My favorite movies.) Part 1: After performing a big job and scoring all that money, the boys were now rich as hell and, of course, Ricky was ready to blow it all. But, being the one who believes in investing, Julian had to hide it all from his friends and keep it safe. Especially from Ricky. Not to mention with Jim Lahey, the park supervisor, and Randy, Lahey's lapdog and lover, being his eyes and ears as they both spy on the boys and make it their mission to send them all back to jail where they both believe they belong for good. But, Lahey's previous plan backfires, costing the boys to lose all their hard earned money from their big robbery. Lahey wasn't going to give up, not till Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles were back in their cells. So, he begins to set the sh**-trap. Julian knew it was Lahey's fault for the boys to lose all that money, but he still felt so terrible for hiding it in such a poor place. He wanted to make it up for the boys and Lahey gave him an opportunity to make it happen. But...Julian wasn't expecting a new neighbor to show up at the park, making his head spin and his heart race. Skyanna Winter never knew her father. All she knew about him was that he left when she was just a baby. Suddenly, she gets a letter from a lawyer claiming that her father has passed and left her everything. Sky made it her mission to move to Sunnyvale and learn about about her father from everyone in the Trailer Park...especially the blue eyed angel. Part 2: Two years have passed since that night. The boys had no clue what was waiting for them back home. With Lahey back on the sauce, and on the boys' trail as they return to life of crime, it's a collision course to chaos.

thanatophobia - the intense fear of death or the dying process. >< History is always repeating itself. One thing that will always be correct is that history will always repeat, like a loop, a vicious circle that never, ever ends. Unfortunate for the souls caught up in history's tangling branches, even more unfortunate for the ones that are yet to be roped in. Many people say to leave the past in the past, it is what it is, right? Not for Nova Black, not for her parents. The past is very much the present and the future. The past will continuously come back to remind them of what them and so many others have endured over the years. With dark wizards are large again and her cousin being the most hated boy in the wizarding world, Nova Black is on for a long fourth year at Hogwarts. Meeting Theodore Nott on the Hogwarts Express probably won't make it much easier. >< In which history, yet again, repeats itself and sweet Nova Black finds herself oddly infatuated with a Slytherin boy. >< ⚠️contains violence, death, strong language, sex, drug/alcohol misuse and other mature themes. >< harry potter series 4-7, 1994-1998 theodore nott x fem!oc BOOK 1 - PHILOPHOBIA BOOK 2 - ATYCHIPHOBIA BOOK 3 - THANATOPHOBIA ><

Stray Humans by AlphaKitten1974

It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)
