This book is currently on hold and unfinished.  To tell the truth, I'm probably never going to pic it up again, so I do not recommend reading it as it goes 

Watson once thought he was the Dark Lord of All, creator of nightmares, bringer of evil.
    He was wrong.
    Now on the run, Watson's only hope resides with a mysterious book. A book that his relentless pursuers will do anything to gain.
    Accompanied by a mysterious baker who uses a questionable meat in her pie and a woman who can wield a sword like no one else, Watson must navigate his ways through the treacherous city, in an attempt to survive.

"Ooh I'm into this! It's enticing, it's witty, and I'm here for all of it.
I'm glad you made sure to put down the Dark Lord cliche, rather than going with it."
     - @Oniriste

"Oh this is brilliant😂 can't wait to read the rest"
     - @dreamingsleeping

"Fantastic beginning!"
     - @8BadBunny8

"Great start!  Really liked the combination of humor and sheer awkward of the situation, that I found myself chuckling at Watson's attempts to scare Mylan. Poor guy.  He's trying so hard to fulfill his role, but can't get it right just yet...."
     - @imallears2012

"I like this chapter so much! The humor and awkwardness combined made me laugh the whole time I was reading it. I should read more. Great job on hooking me to your story."

The Mark of Fallen Flame by BrittanyMatsen

**My debut novel is available for pre-order with all major online retailers from 11/03/2019** This is just the first five chapters, which are also available on my website: www.bmmatsen.com Two days before the start of senior year, Emma Duvall is attacked by creatures that hunt from the shadows. A hidden world that exists within her own, explodes around her as she is faced with menacing creatures of the deep, ugly venomous creatures with voices so beautiful they bring humans to their knees, and a wicked beast with eyes the color of blood. When she touches them, their dark powers flow into her, awakening a hunger in her that had laid dormant for seventeen years. The darkness is seductive when it deals in rage. And rage is exactly what she needs to survive. Not only must she keep her powers a secret, she must also contend with the new boy in school. He is both dangerous and unnaturally handsome, drawing her in like a magnet. What she can't explain is why being close to him causes her physical pain. And those that hunt the monsters of the night-the Giborim-sworn to protect the humans, find that Emma may be just as monstrous. Except the striking, centuries-old, Blaze, who seeks revenge for the mother and sister he lost. Emma will do anything to impress him and earn his trust. Including using herself as bait to ensnare the final piece of Blaze's vengeance. War between the two races is looming on the horizon as the wicked creatures of nightmares seek to enslave humankind. When Emma is thrown in the middle as the ultimate weapon, she must allow herself to be wielded...just long enough to save the world. For when the raging fires of her wrath are unleashed, the world with be painted in the ashes of her enemies.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

The Quarterback's Girl by Starbucks_Cappuccino

I'm running, my dress bunched up in my fists. But I'm not running for my life I'm running for his, and when I see him I stop. There is one bulky man on either side of him, they have their arms linking his, he's kneeling in front of someone with raven black hair. As we get closer, I see his pain in the way he's holding himself, his brown hair is clouding his face. Something catches in my throat as I see him bent forward, almost looking limp. The panic is slowly eating me up on the inside. 'Please lift your head, let me see your eyes' I pray inside my head. He can't be gone. It's almost like he hears my prayers as he looks up, his blue eyes as deep as the ocean depths, knocks the breath out of me as per usual. I close my eyes and thank God for keeping him alive. The right side of his jaw is all purple and red. A cut on the other side of his face, which is oozing with the red liquid. He suddenly looks past the black haired male to look at us, reassurance washing over his features. It's when he sees me that his eyes widen, and the panic grows by the second. He goes from a slump to picking himself upright. He's hurt. Badly. The black haired man spins around as we walk closer in their direction. All 6 of us stop as I catch a glimpse of the face. A deadly grin appears on his wicked face. "Boys, I've been waiting for you" He shouts loud and clear. "And you brought the girl" * Crescent Bay Dawson was once popular but now she lives in the shadow of her twin brother. The only person who notices her is the cocky, egotistic, Star Quarterback of the school; Elliott Grayson. Can Elliott charm her into falling for him or will she finally win the heart of her childhood crush? #2 in humor - 2nd February 2018 #5 in teen fiction - 6th November 2017 Honestly if you wanna laugh this book will make you laugh cause that's what I'm all about!

Let's Make A Deal, My King by YuuMA08

"You...? Cassius...?" I asked the ten-year-old kid who looked exactly like Cassius and he was crying. "Amelia, don't leave me. I beg you." He said as tears continued to flow and with that cute pleading face. *thump* M-my heart...my heart skipped a beat. I'm not a sadist but why is this crying cute face of his so adorable? It made me want to tease him more. To think that this person in front of me who's become a child, begging and crying is the rumored tyrant king, Cassius Pearson, and my mate. "Then Cassius, why not make a deal with me?" --------------------------------- Amelia has always been on the run. When she was little, her pack had been attacked by their enemies and burned down. She had managed to escape with the help of her mother. The reason why she's running away is because of a secret that needs to be hidden from everyone. A secret that could get her and the people she loves, killed. With the help of a family friend, she was sent to California where the rumored and feared beast currently resides, King Cassius. Cassius is a Lycan and a descendant of one of the three Lycans that was first made. He is the Alpha of one of the largest and most powerful pack in the world, the Crépuscule pack, and one of the Ten Kings. He was famous for killing his enemies ruthlessly without mercy, earning him the title 'The Tyrant King'. Everyone thinks that he is a beast, a monster in the stories their parents told their children. Little did they know, the King was hiding something. It can either be a weakness or a strength. What happens when the moon goddess pairs them up? A cold-blooded man who kills to satisfy the starving beast inside him, and a woman who leaves a path of destruction and ran away to survive. One thing they did, the two made a simple deal. But is it really that simple? Even that deal holds secrets. Secrets that can either be a blessing or a curse.

Barracks (War of Hearts) by 2Hearts_write

--Completed-- "Why are you following me?" "I am free to roam anywhere within Barracks, am I not?" "Aldaire will be displeased if he sees us together." He grins, leaning in close to whisper in my ear. "Will he? Last time I checked, you two are merely playing a part." I place a finger on his lips, acutely aware of our proximity yet taken aback by it all. "Don't utter such things. They can hear you." "So it is true. I wasn't present that day, but Himley made sure to fill me in." There's no need to persist with the charade, but if I concede too readily, I'm not fulfilling my role adequately. This is going to be challenging, especially given his annoying demeanor. "I don't know what you're talking about. Aldaire is a noble man." "Then how do his lips taste?" Hiccup! "That is none of your concern, sir." "Why do you take offense? It was an innocent question." "It was not! I am inebriated. Why are you pursuing me? And be honest this time. If you intend to kill me like the rest, I'll make things easier for you." His silence prompts me to look up. His lips are drawn into a thin line as he glares at me. "Do you hold me in such low regard?" "I don't know you," I retort. "That is why I am here. We can acquaint ourselves with each other." His laughter reverberates in the empty space, prompting a grin from me. It makes me blush at the thought. Perhaps it's the alcohol causing me to hallucinate, but the idea of someone vying for my affections is amusing. "I relish challenges, Lady Leizabeth. Give me some time, and you'll see." "I don't understand why." "Because you are a fascinating woman. The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew I had to get to know you." **In the journey of life, we stumble upon love twice. The first shatters your heart into countless fragments; the second conjures up the power of the universe to piece it back together. **

[HIGHEST RANKING #1 IN FALLINGINLOVE] It wasn't ever supposed to happen like it did. It wasn't supposed to happen at all... Katarina Rhodes was just an average girl tagging along with her best friend on a much needed trip to Los Angeles, California. She grumbled at the idea of going out to a boisterous arena filled with yelling people, but her best friend since age ten convinced her to come and watch an MMA fight. MMA fights weren't all her thing, until she fell in love with one of the fighters. Knox Taylor. Then commences a fierce battle between the head and the heart. Which one will win? EPIGRAPH: I make my way over to the vending machine and dig a couple dollars out for a Milky Way bar. I feed it in and watch the thing do its magic, but the damn bar doesn't quite fall from the slot. "Dumb machine!" I mutter. All of a sudden, a huge fist slams into the machine. The bar falls from the slot with a plunk, but I'm fucking scared shitless. I jump at the loud noise and my heart just about leaps out of my chest. I turn to who the fist belongs to and struggle to stop my jaw from hitting the floor. It's him. Knox fricken Taylor.

Pieces Of Me by CassidyRoseNZ

Eve isn't your average she-wolf. She's an ass kicking, potty mouthed, head warrior. She has no plans of finding her mate, she's already found the love of her life, and no demands from her Alpha father will change her mind. Eve's got her life all planned out. That plan goes out the window, when her father forces her attendance to the mate-less ball, where her mate lies in wait, and enemies launch an attack to wipe out her pack. Taken prisoner Eve is broken by her captors, to be molded into the perfect forced mate for another. But it is soon discovered Eve is a oddity of the supernatural world, and will prove to be key in this battle between good and evil. Thats if she will accept the unwanted mates that keep getting in her way to claim the different pieces of her. Sample: 'HELL . FUCKING. NO!" I growled at him. Glancing back at my mate, who I could see was gearing himself to pounce over the bar. I took a step away from the bar, then took another, as my mates muscles bunched. "HELL FUCKING NO!" I growled at him. Glancing back at my mate, who I could see was gearing himself to pounce over the bar. I took a step away from the bar, then took another, as my mate's muscles bunched. "Sit, stay!" I ordered desperately, but the hulk wasn't listening and was on the move. My flight instincts kicked in. and ignoring my father's concerned shouts, I turned and raced for Reece. "Sorry, not today, Fido!" I hollered over my shoulder to my mate. Fuck my luck! fuck, FUUUUCK!
