Being a teen with the maturity of a 20 year old is not easy, trust me...
Violet has grown up living in the same house, with the same people in the same place for 16 years.
Does she like it there? Yes.
Does she fit in with the mundane teens worried about whether or not it's acceptable to wear the same shoes to this weekends party that you also wore last year to go on holiday? No.
She was always ahead of everyone- in the top sets, reading dictionaries for fun and travelling to the closest libraries because she had already read all of the decent books in her school.
She always had her head in the clouds and fantasised about being part of her favourite romance novels -her only escape from her rickety moods and scarring traumas.
Because was Violet as collected and sunny souled as she seemed? No.
.........This is the story of the one summer that changed her life, where she finally got to be spun into a twisted and complicated romance story of her own, as well as going to one of the darkest places she had ever been.....
I'm sure hope your excited to follow Violets journey, but if you are not, maybe the mentioning of the Twins Damen and Kit will spark you imagination, as these were the boys who set fire to the flame of Violets Summer and lead me to write this book....

The Summer Before (EXCERPT ONLY)
Tessa's love life is full of clichés. She fell for the boy next door, her brother's best friend, and her childhood crush. They all just happen to be the same guy- Levi Daniels. Tessa and Levi seem to be stuck in an endless loop of right person, wrong time scenarios where one of them is single when the other isn't. One summer, that finally changes. Both Tessa and Levi are single, and the spark that's always been there seems to burn brighter than ever before as the two join their friends for another summer of fun at their coveted lake house. Things couldn't be better. Their star-crossed love seems to finally be morphing into a fairy tale, but is one night really all it takes for them to find their happily ever after? You know what they say... If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. ~ Levi did the one thing he wasn't supposed to do. He fell for his best friend's sister- someone he would never be free of if anything bad ever happened. There was something about Tessa Rhodes that kept him coming back. She was his kryptonite, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never quite bury his feelings for her. Then came the summer that changed everything. Levi finally decided to let his inhibitions go. Even if it didn't work out, he had to see what would happen. He told Tessa everything, baring his feelings, and leaving the ball in her court. One night would change their relationship forever, and an infuriating discovery the next morning would threaten to ruin them for good. ~ What happened in the course of those few hours that took these lovebirds from happily ever after to heartbreak hotel? Find out in The Summer Before.Complete
My Stolen Jewel
Jacob, an abusive, jealous, and manipulative man, just cannot seem to impress his ex in front of his new partner. Rather, he can't win him back. In the City of New Lunadia, where people are hybrids of humans and "spirits" such as wolves, zombies, or elemental forces of nature, there are two of them who's lives are about to change. Elli Fox, a 21-year old telepathic vampire who is also a famous popstar, Sunny Fox, Elli's wife, a 21-year old shadow spirit with powers of infliction, teleportation, and increased strength, and Noah Woodson, a 21-year-old empath with the power of light manipulation and creation. They were highschool friends who hadn't seen each other since college. One day, they bump into eachother at a party. Noah uses whatever chance he gets to tell Elli about everything, but also, to confess about how he truly feels about his friend. Elli and Sunny keep him their little secret. Elli loves Noah so much and wouldn't wanna see him get hurt. But it doesn't stay a secret for long. Hearts are broken, sparks fly, and most importantly, fists are thrown. This story will occasionally be edited, as I may not like how things sound over time. I am progressively getting better at writing smut. If you read this book again and notice some changes, don't worry! I'm just trying to make it better. I wrote this about a year ago and I have grown a lot since then. This book contains LGBTQIA+ relationships, people, and detailed sexual scenes. If you are against the LGBTQIA, i suggest you read another book and leave no hate. Because you don't have to. Thank you!Complete
Where There is Desire
There is gonna be a flame, where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned. Hello Reader. If you came here to read a story about magic or princes and princesses, you are reading the wrong story. This isn't a story about the power of friendship or good defeating evil. And it doesn't have a happily ever after. This is a story about a normal kid. There is a boy, his friends, his villain, and his other villain: himself. Josh planned to make that year the best ever. He'd just gotten better, had new friends, left his bullies behind. But he didn't expect Ronan. Trigger Warnings!!!!: Grooming, Sexual Assualt(?), Nightmares, Panic Attacks, non graphic descriptions of blood, non graphic descriptions of vomit, sexual harassment, therapy, non-consensual touching, implied self harm, implied suicidal thoughts (let me know if I missed something but I think I covered it all) Characters and story line are my own. Don't use them for other things. Haters, go away. If your going to defend the 'villain' get out. Those comments will be blocked. Title comes from Try by P!nkComplete
Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
Summer
Summer is intoxicatingly beautiful and she knows it. Everyone wants to be her. Everyone wants to know her. What no one understands is Summer is not as perfect as she seems. Not by a long shot. And trying to hold it all together is like silently suffocating inside her own head. Until she somehow stumbles into Ace, who is as beautiful as he is cruel. He takes what he wants and doesn't care how he gets it. Pushing people away is what he knows and no one dares to get close enough or else they might get ripped to shreds. Summer doesn't trust Ace. She doesn't want or need him. He's frustrating, stubborn and doesn't care about anyone but himself. But a part of her can't help but feel drawn even as destructive and explosive as he seems to be.Complete

Aside from her two best friends, the girls who pulled her out of the loneliness she's lived in for so long. To Alyssa, they feel like the only people she has left. One late morning, she lands herself in detention, where she finds herself next to her brother's best friend. The boy who doesn't even remember her, and the one who won't stop staring at her.

If you previously started reading, I would suggest going back so it makes sense. **Contains swearing. Touches on topics such as eating disorders, sexual themes, and abuse.** Not edited.![Sorcière Lunair [A Teen Wolf FanFiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/254539687-256-k29138.jpg)
