Nocturnal
Since the night blood tore his mother away before his very eyes, Julian's life seems to have stopped growing, learning only how to rot in slow motion. He walks toward adulthood with a chest full of ruins: trauma that never sleeps, nightmares that keep knocking, and childhood wounds that have become faithful shadows at every step. In other people's eyes, he is not Julian-he is only a murderer's son, a sin waiting for its time to bloom, or a fragile creature worthy of pity. And there is nothing crueler than going on living beneath stares that make you feel like a mistake the world has not finished condemning. Then Henry Quentin arrives-calm, warm, and dangerous in his own way. The professor enters Julian's life like a twilight too beautiful to trust, looking at him as if he is not rubble, not a curse, but someone still worthy of love. From hidden glances, from small kindnesses that almost have no name, a feeling begins to grow-one that slowly brings back to life the parts of Julian that have long been buried. But their love is born into a world eager to judge, in corridors lined with stigma, hatred, and fanaticism, where people stand ready to stone them in the name of righteousness. Just as his life begins to feel touched by light, the darkness opens its mouth again. His family is dragged into accusations, a murderer leaves behind a riddle, a mysterious old man appears carrying traces no one can explain, and the pain in Julian's body grows day by day into a silent threat. Julian must not only survive a world that hates him, but also something in the darkness that is slowly hunting him down.
Indecisive (COMPLETED)
After my escape, and yet another but brutal last year at the same high school, my school sent me their condolences and made sure to inform my future college of my past. I didn't bother to say goodbye to my "friends" or Preston, my ex. The police allowed me to change things, including changing my name & hair, but other than that, I was still me. Once I got my new identity, I tried to start anew. Moving me to a new place was the best thing the police and Dr Matthews allowed me to do, but it still didn't stop this nudging feeling that kept coming over me. I don't know why, but for some reason, I could tell that my kidnapper (Mr Blue) was going to come back for me. --- On the two year anniversary since my abduction, the past comes back to haunt me. The only thing that's changed is that I'm not the only one on his Hit List. My friends are too. I was finally happy after what happened to me during my junior year of high school. Three amazing people helped me find my way, and I wasn't about to lose them to the same person who abducted me little under two years ago. This time, I will fight him, and I will win. -- #1 in the Decision series -- H.R. #13 in retribution 19/7/18 #4 in indecisive 15/7/18 #66 in Safety 5/1/19 #319 in deception 28/12/18 #515 in Fictional Characters 5/1/19 ----- Cover made by me (JkGsonny).

The Man In The Woods (Virgin Killer #1)
**3RD PLACE WINNER OF THE 2017 CRAYON AWARDS** Third place winner of the 2017 Lilac Awards From the beginning, I knew what I was in for. I knew that this scenario would end one way or another. I wasn't stupid. Nobody put a gun to my head and forced me to play this game of cat-and-mouse. But I will say, I never pictured that this would occur. I stood there, my brother's silver Smith and Wesson in my hands, directing it at my deadly target. My eyes bore into his, his indicating no sign of emotion, while mine were filled with horror. "It's you," I said, my voice unsteady. He took another step closer to me, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. A malicious grin formed upon his face. His signature expression. "Surprise," he replied before sauntering forward to finish what he started six months ago. ♠♠♠ Six months after Skyler Williamson is abducted and tortured in the woods by a serial killer, she deals with the repercussions of her unfortunate ordeal. Crippling anxiety, the results of unknown misfortunes, bubble up to the surface and rest in the foreground of her mind. And Skyler's prescribed medication can only help to a certain extent. Repressed memories of the past collide with the present, causing Skyler to be unable to distinguish what is real and what is not. When two teenage girls turn up dead, Skyler finds it is up to her to catch the man who's behind all of this... Even if this means trading her own life for the answers she so desperately needs. © The_RebelAngel 2016 STARTED: 01/01/2016 ENDED: 06/21/2017 Cover created by @The_RebelAngel on CanvaComplete
