****ALL CREDITS TO JAMES BOWEN****

         I decided to read the books after seeing the film. It was interesting to see how they changed things in the book and how one sentence in the book could turn into a whole bit of storyline in the film that isn't there in the book. Bowen is to be commended on bringing the issue of homelessness and drugs to a mass audience in such a sympathetic and engaging way. He could have written one long whine about how it went wrong and people didn't give him a chance but it is more like a fantastic tribute to the power of pets and one cat in particular to change a life. It is also wonderful to read about the fabulous people he met and how they helped him when he was in desperate need - it really helps restore your faith in humanity. He doesn't mince his words about some idiots he also came across but the kindness of others was moving.Public Domain

His Hope [Zayn][Completed] by shaerzam

High profile sexy playboy Zayn St. James doesn't do committed relationships. He uses his notorious good looks and charm to satisfy his every whim. Everything he wants is at his fingertips: success, willing women, attention. . . His adventurous lifestyle is transformed the night he stumbles across a girl being assaulted in the dead of the night amongst a snow storm in the streets of London. And Zayn was not the type of man to ignore a damsel in distress. . . Hope is lost, broken, desperate, homeless and in dire need of help. With the encouragement and help of her rescuer, Zayn, her only salvation-with his searing blue eyes and brazen smile, and his overwhelming charm breaking the shell she'd cocooned herself in, Hope is swept away in the life of luxury. She knew it was temporary. As soon as she got back on her feet she was planning to disappear and never look back. But she never imaged her new life, the second chance fate handed her would challenge her loyalty, test her will power and turn her world upside down. Zayn finds it harder to play immune to the plain, bedraggled, broken-spirited girl who transforms from ugly duckling turned beautiful swan before his very eyes. However, there's more than meets the eye with Hope. Her disastrous past is not as polished as her image. And Zayn soon discovers allowing her into his life may be the greatest mistake of his life. ***This story is a stand alone.

So what happens when Emma soon realizes there is more to Dylan than that meets the eye? ****WARNING**** There are some strong language in this story.

Commencement (West Hampton U: Part 2) by shakethesphere

This is a part two of the West Hampton U series. The first book is "Tale Teller." When Suhana walks into a room, people stop. Violins play, birds sing, stars shine brighter. With green eyes, skin like caramel silk, and a smile that could kill, she was untouchable. She enjoyed the attention, and a lot of it she got, but Suhana never did and never will let anything or anyone be a diversion from her goals. Ruhaan was the kind of guy your dad told you to stay away from, but you just can't resist. Pure mischief, confidence, and a tempting smile, it's all he needs to charm his way through anything. Call him a playboy, call him an enigma, but what did it matter to him. He was destined for the NBA and it was just within arms reach now. Ruhaan didn't expect things to turn out this way. He wasn't sure what drove Suhana to dislike him so much, but he was fine with staying away if that's what she preferred. Despite their best efforts, maybe it was circumstance, fate, or maybe just pure bad luck that kept bringing them together. They have a choice to make now: resolve their issues to work together or let it be someone else's problem. It was a matter or life or death after all. They have one common goal: unmask the Tale Teller and make her pay. Whether or not they worked together, Suhana knew she didn't have to make life easy for Ruhaan, especially now that her best friend was not around to tell her to play nice. Ruhaan would happily endure whatever torture she threw his way, maybe even enjoy it a little. At the end of the day, even if it was hate, at least she felt something for him.

The St Valentine's Day Ghost (Cursed Lovers: Book 2) by Grown30

When Daisy gets a chance to appear in a Thriller/Mystery movie, she jumps at the opportunity. She hopes this role will allow her to shake off the Writer's Block she's been having on her own mystery novel lately; as well as visit her cousins in England where the movie is being filmed. However, once the crew begins production, she gets this feeling that she and the other female actresses are being watched. When she hears about a ghost haunting the local bed-and-breakfast she and everyone are staying, the staff informs her that the "Ghost" only shows up the week of Valentine's Day. Daisy, being a skeptic, does not believe in ghosts. Not even when said ghost follows her to her room that first night. Glen has been a ghost for almost two hundred years. Whenever he's not reliving his past mistakes on the night he died, he's at his death site, now a local B'n'B, watching guests mingle and so on. When Glen meets Daisy, he feels a desire for her, the likes of which he never experienced when he was alive. So when she is staying at the Wynfrid House that week, Glen seizes his chance to share those desires with her. Even if it is only in her dreams. *For those that love The Temple of Snakes, this story is about Domino's cousin, who was mentioned in the first chapter. Domino, Mona, and their new families will make guest appearances.* P.S. Some scenes in this book can be interpreted as sexual assault and abuse. Readers be warned.

Out of my Control by LexiRein

Book 7 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be great and for awhile it was, until it wasn't. I had it all! The perfect husband, well for the most part. Everyone has their flaws but Johnny he was the best. Then I lost him and my world fell apart. How can you move on from your other half? Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. Just because he made a promise to my husband doesn't mean he owes me anything. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry! I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying him by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him, but mostly hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?

My Bright Light by FairozSherif

This is my first book, so if you have any expectations, drop them, you'll get disappointed by the writing. Though the scenes aren't as bad, so maybe you should give it a try. *THIS BOOK HAS SOME SPELLING MISTAKES DUE TO FAST TYPING* Amelia Bloom Carder was a really smart girl who wanted to be a forensic pathologist and was studying hard to excel at being one. Until one day all that changed, because of her family secrets and dark history. She was now caught up in the mafia drama and couldn't seem to find a way out. Adrian Samuel D'sanni was a handsome 23 year old man who was always mistreated by his parents and couldn't find a person to comfort him in times needed. So he grew up hating the world and all its given him but that was soon to change. TW: this book contains sensitive subjects that might trigger some people.

My Living Nightmare - Tom Kaulitz by winternightz

He was good looking, drove a sexy car and always had a girl on his arm, he seemed to be the ideal man to every girl's eye, but he was the complete opposite. My name is Taylor, and I am one of those girls he has on his arm. I wasn't put there willingly, no not at all, I was forced to be his pet, thats what he called me, what they all called us, pets "your a fucking pet!" he would scream at me "you don't talk back to me" then he would hit me across the face or shove me to the ground. Thats how he liked it, rough. The man who made me sick at his touch, tremble when I felt his prescene, when i felt his breath is Tom Kaulitz, Tom fucking Kaulitz. "No one stands up to me, I'm Tom Kaulitz" Why he's keeping me around, I have no idea, why he's put up with me for so long, I wouldn't have a clue, I thought he would of put a bullet in my head ages ago, just like the others. He was an invincible killer, an evil man that got away with anything, murder, rape, stealing, just because he could drive. Trigger warning: Some scenes may include rape and cutting/suicide attempts. (It contains mature subject and dark themes such as explicit kidnapping, murder and rape. There's also explicit sex scenes. Read at your own risk. This book is unedited so you'll find some grammatical errors) I do not own Tokio Hotel but I do own everything else, original characters, story line etc. © winternightz I am winternightz! I wrote this story 6 years ago on Mibba and it was a real hit, I am re-posting it due to writing a sequel and I felt I should share it with you guys, will be up soon! :) The sequel A Beautiful Lie is up now.

Kai's History by EnderLeal2

[Finished] This is where all the timelines from 'That Homeless Boy' series link together as a form of one single timeline from Kai's perspective. If you haven't noticed, all of my books starting with 'In Need of' are connected by the name of a boy called Kai, these books are all part of a series called 'That Homeless Boy'. In this book, you shall find his whole life written in here in only his perspective. I would advise you to read the other books first. This book just sums them all up into a nicer timeline which might clear up some questions you might have after reading the other books. The order of the books is said in their blurbs. But I'll put it here too: 1) In Need of You 2) In Need of Him 3) In Need of Love 4) In Need of Change ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, here we are. My diary thing. Here, I'm going to pour my whole life out onto these pages. This book will probably know more about me than any other person that knows me. This is my story, my life. My tragic life but with a happy ending. I've caused bad luck to people in my life without knowing but many of them are happier than before. So, I don't think I would take back the sh*t that's happened to me. Don't worry, you'll find out about the sh*t soon enough. Do be beware that my life was quite the ride and some might think of it as excessive. But hey, that's the life I got. So, I now welcome you to my life. I'll try to explain everything as well as memory holds. But I only know my side of the story. Perhaps the others have done this sort of thing too. Anyway, I'll start off by when I was a child... (In the book, swearing will not be censored.)
