Villain Complex
By E.M.
***
There is not a single soul on Earth that does not remember the Day of Light.
It was the day that would change history. The day humans became so much more.
***
Branwen is human.
Or at least, that is what the rest of the world believes. To the government she is a lesser being. To her family she is weak. To the Gifted, she is a minority.
So when she is accepted into one of the greatest universities in the world, Branwen is more than a little surprised. But packing her bags and moving to a city ridden with villlainy brings its own problems.
The Capital of New Los Angeles holds the world's greatest heroes and the greatest villains. As powerfully Gifted, they reign supreme- two sides willing to do anything to get what they want.
As they teeter on the edge of war, Branwen finds herself in the one place she never thought she would be.
As secrets unfold around her, Branwen must find out what makes a villain...
And what makes a hero.

Wicked like her
In the cloistered halls of Corveth Academy of Thaumaturgy & Arcane Discipline-where ancient magic is studied like scripture and students are expected to bleed brilliance-Evanthe Corven has always known she was being watched. By professors, by monsters, and by two very different boys who orbit her like opposing stars: Callum Throne, the golden prodigy with a twisted smile and secrets stitched into his skin, and Lysander Vale, the brooding intellectual with black eyes, barbed words, and a hunger for things he refuses to name. Torn between them, Evanthe searches for truth in a school that thrives on half-lies, while her past unravels like a spell gone wrong. But the real danger isn't the love triangle or the curses buried beneath the library floor. It's her best friend. Mallicent Graves doesn't believe in fate, or romance, or mercy. She's here to protect Evanthe-and she enjoys destruction a little too much. Unapologetically feral, razor-witted, and dressed like death's favorite daughter, Mallicent has no patience for the boys hovering around Evanthe. Especially Lysander. Which makes it inconvenient when he starts seeing her. And worse-when she starts seeing him back. As the academy descends into chaos and blood rites resurface from the shadows of history, alliances are questioned, obsessions bloom, and every lesson comes at a cost. Some hearts are meant to be broken. Others are meant to burn. In a world where knowledge is power and affection is weakness, what survives when the spell breaks-love, loyalty, or the girl who never asked to be chosen?Complete
π₯ Hate or Fate π {Enemies to Lovers}
One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. ππ¨ So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!π But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. π₯π This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. π₯π **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

MASKED: Rise of the New Generation [Book One ReUploaded]
*REUPLOADED as the published version of the story* In a world full of super-powered individuals, comic books have become real life. Superheroes and villains have epic battles in the streets, aliens dash through the skies, and everyday people have their daily lives hindered due to collateral damage. That's just the norm that everyone has grown used to. It's a new age of young supers rising to the top, and New Elysium City is the epicenter for this new generation. The paths that they take will carefully carve out the fate of their metropolis they call home. Some may choose to be the very face of good and justice, while others may instead take a darker turn. And the rest? Well, they're perhaps just a bit disgruntled and tired. With a new hero team in the making, they all must overcome their own trials in order to work together successfully. Hopefully, they can do it in time to stop the new wave of villains as crime in New Elysium truly never ceases. But will they be able to properly balance their real lives with their secret identities? Or will the weight of the world come crashing down around them?Complete
Bad Decisions
All I know is bad... bad decisions... A new company has taken hold of LA over the last few years; M.I.N.D. Labs, Inc., which allows patients to view their memories and more via a neural link. People flock to the clinics to view their past selves, and live in their own fantasy worlds. But some hate the artificial manipulations of someone's memories, and are hellbent on making it known. Aurora Kestrel is the Head of Security and Liquidation of M.I.N.D. Labs, Inc, or in simpler terms, an assassin, tasked to hunt down and eliminate those who stand in the company's way to worldwide success. And she takes her job very seriously. After a successful takedown of a smaller clinic site by a new unheard of vigilante group, she is given her most difficult target to take out yet; the leader of the vigilante group, Noah Sebastian. But he won't go down without a fight, and he's determined to take her down with him, dragging down with him her mind, her body... and her heart. CW: This is a very dark romance, and I will update these as the story progresses, but this is a blanket warning. Clearly, there is sexual content. Blood and gore are also included, as well as some drug and alcohol use, and mental health issues. Reader discretion is highly advised, and like always, this is the only warning you will receive. Authors Note: This world is totally different than the CJ stories. I plan on only one single book for this, but who knows.

(#1) Roommates by Day, Enemies by Night
WARNING: CONTAINING AMOUNTS OF SASS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO MANKIND In the city of NYC--- Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another clichΓ© teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind. Fangirl out.Complete

β¬ πππ π»ππ£π οΌ πππππ₯ πππ£πππ€ β¬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.
