"All in all amazing! Your writing as an author is quite excellent! The plot itself was exciting, and the pacing made the story quite digestible. This is definitely a great and quality YA read. It reminded me of the book Pretties By Scott Westerfield in some parts. I'm glad I discovered this book out of the pile of so many reads. Hooked me from chapter 1. Can't wait for book 2!"

Unlike You |Will Byers x Gender-fluid Reader| (COMPLETED 1-4)
IF YOU'RE GOING TO READ, READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION!! THANK YOU |Ps: I wrote this in middle school, it was prior to Noah coming out. In the best attempt at respecting Noah without deleting my work, I changed to pronouns to where it was inclusive for everyone (she/he/they). I had also been questioning my gender identity, but figured out I'm a cis female.| Y/n (004) was always different than all the others at the lab. They were telekinetic and are also a therianthrope (shapeshifter) with the ability to learn any power, but would need to go through something traumatic to spike that power. Y/n ends up in the Upside down, where she meets Will Byers. After escaping The Upside Down, Y/n and Will get separated, leaving the two heart broken teens longing for each other everyday. But what happens when dark forces make their way into Hawkins? Will they be able to defeat it? Will Y/n and Will end up together? Read to find out!

When Lexa's father decides to send his only two daughter's to boarding school, Lexa makes the life changing decision to not tell Clarke she's leaving. She thought she was saving them both from a lot of heartache. Which wasn't the case. 14 year-old Clarke was heart broken when Lexa disappeared and no one could or wanted to tell her where she went, "It's better this way." Her parents kept telling her. At 18 years-old, Lexa returns to New York to attend her fathers funeral after a fatal shooting but doesn't find it in her heart to face Clarke. Only two years after that when circumstances neither of them can control, forces them both to collide again. Now young adults, Clarke 19 years-old and Lexa 20 years-old. Will they both realize there are some unresolved feelings? When Blue truly meets Green, all hell will be loose. The Woods sisters, Lexa and Luna, co-lead Trikru and boy are they a force to be reckoned with in the Gang world as well as the business world. A Deal is made and hearts get broken. -This is a Clexa and Sea Mechanic AU.- ~WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE IS USED IN THIS STORY AND IT HAS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT.~ ____________________________ Also published on AO3 under the same name & username. ____________________________ This story is good for a quick Clexa fix but you'll most likely cringe.

Holding Back [COMPLETED]
"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything.

His message is terrifying: It wasn't some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas. Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him.

When I shut the door behind me I realized that no cars were driving out here either. They were all empty and abandoned. As I strolled by there were no people talking in the coffee shop windows. There were no people eating in restaurants. There were no sounds except my heavy breathing and the howling wind. "HELLOOOOOOOO" I shouted, "IS ANYONE HEREEEEE HELLOOOOO!!?" I continued to call out to no one in particular feeling a little agitated by the growing silence. That's when I heard it... The winds howling came to a stop. The world seemed to stop turning. Time itself came to a halt. Leaves caught in the breeze and remained motionless. That was until the wind came calling back to me, and in this it whispered one word that answered all my questions...

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Billionaire Next Door✔
I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered. This is just typical. ............................................................. One girl moves to the big apple after her family disintegrates around her. All she has left is her one brother. Well, that's what she thought. She attends college like a normal girl and even gains a job on the side with someone who just so happens to be her neighbor.
