Bitter only has one dream. To be a Star. In a nation dominated by Reality TV, high ratings are the key to escaping poverty. Sixteen years ago, Bitter's mother was elected as the youngest First Lady since the Twenty Month Darkness. But a surprise pregnancy had her banished from the District of Canals in disgrace.
Now Bitter is a contender for First Lady and she is determined to vindicate her mother's name. First she must defeat her long-time rival and escape the temptation of her obstinate ex-boyfriend.
Bitter's dream finally seems at hand when her missing childhood friend, Joy, appears one night. The cameras are always running and Joy thinks Bitter is the key to turning off the live-stream for good. Her earnest accomplice, Joseph, claims he is descended from one of the original First Families. Together, they want Bitter to win, so she can infiltrate the White House and overthrow the president.
Bitter must make a choice. Will she stay content with false reality or risk it all to be true to her heart?

Facade Of Perfectionism
'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712Complete
Lunar Legacy: Blood of the Moon
Years have passed since the fall of Saint and the scattering of the Lunar Eclipse cult. Peace returned, but the scars remain. Now, the next generation must face a darkness that was never truly vanquished-only sleeping. Sevyn Lawson, the firstborn of Alpha Maxwell and Luna Kimberly, is a powerful, headstrong werewolf heir with ice in her veins and a legacy too heavy for her shoulders. She's trained to lead, to protect, and to never show weakness. The people see her as the reincarnation of her grandfather, Maxwell Sr.-cold, strategic, and ruthless when necessary. But inside, she carries the weight of visions-just like her mother once did. Stormé Lawson, younger by one year, is fire-born and emotionally intuitive. More like Kimberly in her youth, Stormé is bold, curious, and has an unshakable bond with the world around her-especially the forest spirits. She's been blessed by the Moon Goddess with the gift of emotional tethering: the ability to connect to others through emotion and manipulate it. But with that gift comes a haunting curse she's yet to uncover. When a Lunar Eclipse survivor kidnaps a child from a neighboring pack, Sevyn is sent to negotiate, while Stormé disobeys orders and sneaks into the borderlands for answers. What they uncover is a dark prophecy: the daughters of fire and ice will either break the world-or bind it in eternal war. As shadow wolves rise again under a new name-The Crimson Howl-the Lawson sisters must face betrayals, the truth of their bloodline, and choose between each other... or the future of their kind. And somewhere, in the ruins of the old Lunar Eclipse stronghold, an ancient power stirs-a being not even Saint could control.Complete

The son of the King and Queen of Auradon. The daughter of the Mistress of Evil. Ben and y/n are poles apart, but could the old saying 'opposites attract' be true? Y/n has always been tough and cold, intimidating everyone she met. She was practically the ruler of the Isle of the Lost, and even her twin sister, Mal, hardly messed with her. But behind her rough exterior, she hid the loneliness that ate away at her heart. Her mother hated her, her father abandoned her, and unlike Mal, she never had real friends of her own. However, when she goes to Auradon and meets kind-hearted Prince Ben with dreams too big to imagine, she finds things slowly starting to change. As worlds collide and fates intertwine, perhaps Ben can break through her facade and unearth the funny, charismatic, and caring person that she had hidden away for many long years. And perhaps y/n can show him what true love feels like, and give him a kind of happiness he never knew existed. This story is happy, sad, bittersweet, and heartwrenching. There are ups, downs, twists, and turns. But along the journey, extraordinary things occur, and in the end, a fairytale happily-ever-after is guaranteed.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
