For fans of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief and Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth.

Vienna, 1899. Josef Breuer - celebrated psychoanalyst - is about to encounter his strangest case yet. Found by the lunatic asylum, thin, head shaved, she claims to have no name, no feelings - to be, in fact, not even human. Intrigued, Breuer determines to fathom the roots of her disturbance.

Years later, in Germany, we meet Krysta. Krysta's Papa is busy working in the infirmary with the 'animal people', so little Krysta plays alone, lost in the stories of Hansel and Gretel, the Pied Piper, and more.  And when everything changes and the real world around her becomes as frightening as any fairy tale, Krysta finds that her imagination holds powers beyond what she could have ever guessed . . .

Lost in Love by Omot456David

Her life hanging on the tenterhooks of a knife edge, Josephine McNulty, a gorgeous woman in her prime, embarks on a gruelling journey of self reflection, malice and hatred when her husband backstabs and cheats on her. Life, it seems, has a more chaotic option for her as it takes on a downward spiral when secrets spill, truths unfold, and she is no longer sure of whom to trust. Her life shrouded in a blanket of lies and a grim cord binding her to a dark past, Josephine is caught up in a world of uncertainty where merging with the underworld seems to be the only option left for her to escape the clutches of a determined psycho killer. But when love gets in the way and her mission, given to her by her father, of killing Jacob Klegg gets blighted, will it take just a single night with her father to rid herself of the consequences that come with defying her dad's order, or find a solace in her despised past, Jacob Klegg? *** Jacob Klegg, a political bigwig, is hell-bent on exterminating every thing that has to do with his past to clear the hurdles to his promising political future- even if it means killing his one-night stand, with whom, unknowingly, he has a set of twins. His mission, however, is threatened to be blighted when the spark of love is re-ignited and chemistry is developed between him and Josephine. Will emotions get in the way, or will he find a way of estinguishing his growing love for her before he gets engulfed in the consuming flames of passion?

𝙱𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝚈𝚘𝚞 (A 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛) by AlexJenkins750

Abigail and Jessie Edwards grew up in a house where love was a foreign language and survival was a daily battle. Their parents-violent, neglectful, addicts-left them with scars that ran deeper than the eye could see. Jessie, the older sister, was forced to become both mother and protector, shielding Abigail from the worst of their parents' wrath. But some wounds even she couldn't prevent. Then, one night, everything changed- A home invasion. A bloodbath. Their parents slaughtered while the sisters slept just down the hall. At the police station, still dazed and reeling, Abigail and Jessie met the last person they ever expected-Samuel Edwards, the grandfather they never knew existed. With a quiet intensity and an unsettling air of secrecy, he offered them a new life, far from the wreckage of their past. It seemed like salvation. But monsters don't just live in broken homes. They lurk in the shadows of new beginnings, wearing the faces of those who seem safe. Abigail finds herself entangled in the affections of two dangerously alluring boys-both haunted, both hiding unspeakable secrets. One is something not quite human, a creature of nightmares and whispered legends. The other? A killer, whose hands are stained with more than just metaphorical blood. And one of them... was there the night her parents died. As desire turns to obsession and secrets unravel, Abigail's world takes a deadly turn when she discovers she's carrying one of their children. The revelation sets off a chain of horrors, drawing the attention of something powerfully dangerous. Now, with forces beyond her control closing in, Abigail must navigate a web of betrayal, supernatural terror, and a love so toxic it threatens to consume her. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes-her past is far from buried, and the truth may be more monstrous than she ever imagined. Because in the end, some secrets aren't meant to be uncovered. And some love stories were never meant to have happy endings.

Caged By Him by moonchild80

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?
