Pandora Leigh is a shining example of perfection- on the outside. In reality, she's someone with both narcissistic and misanthropist tendencies who just happens to have a very, very good mask. 
Pandora has always tried desperately to adapt herself to fit the traits of what society seems to think makes someone a successful human being- but at seventeen years old, she's no longer confident of what her end goal is.
While having a small mental breakdown, she meets and is comforted by a girl named Elizabeth Lawson, who at first seems like Pandora's total opposite. But neither of them are exactly what they seem.
The two girls, oddly fascinated with each other, only become more connected after going through a life-changing incident. Whether their new connection will bring happiness or despair in the end remains to be seen.
One thing for certain is that to get through it they're going to need to keep their friends close, and their enemies closer.

Sparring with Ghosts by Can_you_not587
21 parts Complete Mature
A/N - I wanted to share something personal with you all. I have Aphantasia, which means I'm unable to visualize images in my mind. To bring my world and characters to life in a more visual way, I've teamed up with ChatGPT to generate the images you'll find throughout the book. I hope they add an extra layer to the experience and help you step further into the world of my story. Thank you for your support and for joining me on this journey! ... Three years have passed since the events that shattered their lives and brought them face to face with the supernatural world. Aydith and Leigh have spent that time trying to rebuild-Aydith by throwing herself into combat training, determined to never be vulnerable again, and Leigh by confronting her inner demons and overcoming her past struggles with addiction. Now living together in a quiet apartment, their lives are relatively calm-on the surface. But the absence of their old friends, Henry, Rita, Gene, and Lisa, who have been chasing leads on supernatural activity in Sydney, weighs heavily on them. It's been nearly four months since Leigh last heard from Rita, and the radio silence is starting to feel like more than just bad reception - until the group mysteriously reappear and take off where things had been left. As the present unravels, Sparring with Ghosts weaves in flashbacks to Henry, Gene, and Rita's pasts, revealing the scars they carry-both physical and emotional. Each memory brings the weight of loss, old flames, and the fear of letting new love take root. As Aydith and Henry struggle to reconcile their growing feelings, and Rita and Leigh's bond deepens, both couples are haunted by the fear of losing one another before they've even begun. With danger looming and trust hanging in the balance, past and present collide in a fight for survival, where the hardest battles are often fought within. Will their ghosts drive them apart, or will they find the strength to build something lasting?

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes
11 parts Complete Mature
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.

Everyone has a different nature but mine is undoubtedly different. To say that I'm intriguing would be an understatement, I'm overconfident, smart, humorous, ambitious, considerate, diligent, energetic, faithful etc etc but I come with a condition which is unchangeable, irreplaceable and consistent to all. Don't trigger me or push my wrong buttons. It's actually a simple condition but often people seem to lack the required and end up doing just what I expect them not to. Sabrina is headstrong, a heartthrob but a realist. She is just someone not to mess with but what happens when someone is willing to do just that? Read to find out! #1 separations (10/05/2020)
