Life is about to become a nightmare...

Sixteen-year-old Parrish Sorrows lives in the shadow of her prodigy sister, ignored by her parents and shunned as an outsider at her private school.

But today, everything changes.

An ancient evil awakens, spreading a magical virus that will kill millions in a matter of weeks. When the dead begin to awaken, survivors must battle an enemy they can't even begin to comprehend. But as the rest of the world is dying, a mysterious power inside Parrish is reborn. A power that reveals she's the key to saving what's left of the world.

And she's not the only one.

Told from alternating points of view, Death's Awakening is equal parts fantasy and horror, witches and zombies, love and loss. It is the story of five extraordinary survivors struggling to realize their destiny as they fight against the darkest evil this world has ever seen.

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

BOOK THREE || The Oblivion's Embrace Saga... ... Her mind is slowly falling into the oblivion After watching everyone fall, Lucy is no longer the girl she once was. The world has shattered, and so has her mind. The darkness inside her grows as she and the few survivors-Maisie, Kassian, Mel, Jace, and Kasper-traverse a landscape drowned in blood and death. Maisie, with her sadistic love for fire, burns everything in her path, her laughter echoing through the charred ruins. Kassian, ever-loyal, stays close to her side, though his eyes betray a growing fear. Jace, Lucy's once steadfast best friend, now fights not only to protect her but to keep her from slipping further into madness. Mel, the last remnant of Lucy's past, begins to see the cracks in Lucy's sanity. The Fates will cut another string... Lucy's grip on reality starts to unravel. Whispers in the dark taunt her, pulling her deeper into a pit of insanity. The faces of the dead mock her in twisted visions. She can feel the madness clawing at her mind, but there's no escape. Not anymore. In the midst of this horror, new figures emerge from the shadows: Max, a little girl with a hidden talent, and Cupid, whose name is a cruel joke, for nothing she's seen speaks of love or mercy. Lucy must decide if they are allies or enemies in a world where trust is a death sentence. Blood is the currency of survival, and Lucy is paying in gallons. As the bodies pile up and the darkness consumes her, the line between hunter and hunted blurs. In the end, there may be nothing left of Lucy but a hollow shell-a vessel for the madness that now controls her. The end is inevitable. The only question is how many more will die before it comes.

The Slightest Touch by kdjayyyyy

Olivia Scott, a New York girl who thought her life was edging perfection with a loving family, luxury, and friends. But little did she know it was far from fairytale, and let alone ordinary. Born with the powers far more dangerous than any, she was led to believe her life was anything but special. Living in a world of deceit, she was adamant on the danger she was marked since the day she was born. But no secrets can remain untold. And she was bound to know them. She was bound to change everything with the help of a mysterious man who suddenly barged into her life. With a touch of fate, a sprinkle of emotions, and bounties on their head, the two hearts found each other as they fought together on a life-altering adventure in their journey to save their people and their world. ~~ "Why are you telling us this anyway?" She asked the man from the future, as he leaned back to the shelf behind him after finishing his explanation. His emerald-colored eyes met her blue ones as he pierced through them seemingly searching far deeper than his eyes could offer. He had longed for her, every minute, every hour and day, though it was far more than he could ever comprehend. But just seeing her in front of him, alive and young, it was all payed for. "Because the last time, I couldn't save you as you died in my arms. And I'm not letting it happen again." ~~ A dark secret kept with a birth of murder, a life of façade, a leap from the future, and a love bound to break. The heaven and earth will meet and only she can hold them in between. Will it be enough?

Death's Temporary Home For Lost Souls by BookNrd

LEAVING WATTPAD ON FEBRUARY 23rd, 2025 Cara, a troubled college dropout, finds herself slowly falling for a handsome stranger - who turns out to be Death incarnate. But the arrival of a mysterious being puts Death's home for lost souls and his very existence at risk, forcing Cara to help his stubborn spirit residents achieve their unfinished business. *** Reeling from a tragic personal loss and armed with a life-altering secret, interior designer Cara Rossi leaves behind the bustling New York streets in search of tranquility and finds herself enchanted by the quaint town of Neverton, Massachusetts. In fact, Cara is so devoted to finding inner peace that she doesn't bat an eye when a friendly local asks her to renovate a decrepit Victorian mansion straight out of a horror film. The renovation soon turns out to be the least of Cara's worries when she meets the devastatingly handsome owner of the home - who turns out to be Death himself. But this version of Death is nothing like you see in the movies; he wears cozy sweaters, makes home-cooked meals, and runs a home for lost souls with unfinished business where he helps them cross to the other side. When the very existence of Death's home is threatened by a mysterious stranger called The Auditor, Cara feels obligated to help him pass on the undead residents. But Neverton has a way of breaking down people's walls, and as Cara spends more time with Death she must face the most horrifying thing of all: her own heart, and her growing feelings for an Immortal.
