"I wouldn't say I'm scared of the height itself," he explained, keeping his eyes away from the ground below us. "It's more the fear of how long it would take to land that gets to me."

Like most teens her age, Kalina Parrish thought that she had it all figured out. That her life would get better when she graduated high school and moved on to bigger and better things.
But when she wakes up to a vague voicemail from her dad, she wasn't prepared for it to drastically change her life. Her perception of her father took a complete one-eighty, and she doesn't know who to turn to for help. So when her grandfather winds up in the hospital with symptoms no one can make sense of, she finds that things just don't stop changing.
Kalina's problems are shot up to one hundred, leaving her with more questions than answers, along with a mysterious gold-eyed asshole that just keeps popping up in her life. Now with a mind full of new information of a life that she never knew existed, what will Kalina do with herself- stay in her comfort zone and live a normal life, or take the leap into the unknown with her family?

He's met with a riveting surprise when a bizarre black object crashes into his backyard, sending mixed emotions through his mind. Following the vampire-like being manipulating Kristian in order to feed his own bloodlust, Kristian struggles to keep his sanity. AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hello. I'm G. Clover, and I wanted to state a few things for you all to understand before you guys begin this series. I also want to thank anyone who decided to give my work a chance. ;3 First, do NOT believe any content inside this book is one-hundred percent biblically accurate. This is a FICTIONAL series meaning a lot of the ideas I use in it are purely from my imagination and are not to be taken as real facts. Don't fact check anything in this book as it isn't meant to be true, but entertaining. Second, my religion is not connected to this series in any way. I do use the ideas of demons and hell a lot in this series as a part of the plot, but it is for that reason only. I am not pushing any idea onto my readers. I'm writing this book as a student in high school. Some scenes may seem rushed as I try to make time to write, but I hope to publish the best piece of fiction I possibly can for you guys. I also wanted to note that I may be splitting the story into two to three books since I originally wanted this to be like a play script but I decided to just write it as a book. Some lines may not make sense as far as the tenses, but I promise to limit my mistakes as much as possible. Once again, thank you all for supporting my work and deciding to give my story a chance. This one is for all my fellow thriller/horror lovers out there. I love you all! And of course, viewer discretion is advised. Enjoy the book!Complete
Reach {Book One of the Deathly Consequences Series}

Hopping all across the world for five years and waiting for the time when people have forgotten she ever existed, Thana finally returned to make a new life for herself where it had all began. For three years, the plan went along well. She gained a new...friend, made her debut in a public school, and even procured a steady job with a solid income. It was all going so smoothly that Karma just couldn't help but bite her in the ass again. The Shade Brothers, the infamous Quad that Thana herself had once been apart of so long ago, have arrived to put a kink in Thana's well-maintained plan. She thought she had forgotten them. That they had forgotten her. They didn't forget nor did she. Que karmic ass-biting. *This is a slow-burn RH story with four hunks and one kickass female who've they've promised the world to while she keeps it all spinning. 40,000+ words so don't be deterred by the shortage of chapters.* {Apologies. I'm terrible at describing my story but by no means terrible in story...I think? Semi-good? Half-good? I don't know 😅 Anywho, give it a chance or a whirl and let me know what you think! P.S. This story is still in the editing stages so if you spot anything kinky let me know and I'll edit away! Happy reading :)}Complete

LOVED BY AN ANGEL
He's here, he's always here. Watching me, protecting me. Even if I can't see him I know he's here. I can sense him. You know those moment's you get cold chills or you see something out of the corner of your eye but when you look nothing's there. Yea, well that's him. I wasn't suppose to see him though, it just happened. Now that I know he's here I do thing's to provoke him, to call him out, and when he ignores me I tiptoe into dangerous situations to force him out, which initially angers him. Gath is my appointed guardian angel. He guards my body, my soul, but he can't guard my heart from him. Yes, I'm falling for my broken angel but how can we ever love, we are from two different world's. Guarding Aspen was more of a punishment I received for being a disobedient angel. In order to receive my entrance I was ordered to keep her safe and out of trouble, but Aspen is no ordinary girl. She tests my nerves to no end and does so purposefully now that she is aware of me. It happened so fast the night she saw me I'd hope she would think I was a figment of her imagination, but no such luck. She wouldn't stop pushing the limits until I showed myself again. Not only dealing with Aspen's tantrums I was running from my own demons. Being back on earth was a reminder of everything that was ripped from me one fateful night when I was a human. I was sent here to fix Aspen but in the end she fixes me, she mends my broken wings. The hardest thing is to come though, when I must return to the heavens and leave my Aspen behind.Complete
Why Me?!
Stormi Octavia Lane Johnson was just trying to survive high school, dodge drama, and maybe make it to cheer practice without catching an attitude. But between being a straight-A student, ROTC captain, and the girl everybody loves to hate, life was already doing the most. Then came De' Andre-mysterious, fine as hell, and way too interested in Stormi for no clear reason. As their slow-burn connection grows stronger, so does the pull she can't explain. Add in her best friend Vi acting weird, her parents whispering secrets like it's a business deal, and a strange new strength rising inside her... and suddenly, turning seventeen isn't just a milestone. It's a rebirth. But Stormi's world is about to crack wide open. Because being a queen doesn't just mean running things-it means uncovering the truth about her bloodline, her destiny, and the monsters she never knew were watching her all along. This ain't your average coming-of-age story. It's giving trauma, power, love, betrayal, and a whole lotta chaos. Because even queens have demons.

Silver {Book One}
"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.Complete
Luna's Awakening
Well, just when I thought my life couldn't get any crazier, guess what? It got crazier. Last time we met, I was trying to save myself and this guy from this malicious spirit who wouldn't leave him alone and was trying to kill him. I thought that was bad and stress inducing. Unfortunately, I had no idea what else I was in for. Compared to what I'm about to face next, that was a walk in the park. Now, my powers are growing stronger and stronger, and I'm becoming a full fledged sorceress. I am seeing more spirits, the "dark entity" I'm constantly being warned about coming, and I'm trying to brace myself for whatever this entity is. I'm also learning more about the "supernatural world," where apparently, it's where all the ghouls exist and thrive in. And guess what else? I'm going to have to go to school with them. Fantastic. There's a part of me excited, though the larger part is scared to death. So, if you want to come with me on this crazy journey that is my life, get ready, because it's going to get even more weirder by the minute. ***Note: The story will intertwine some with my previous series, The Moonblood Clan series, so it would be best to read that first before reading this one, because some stuff may be confusing.Complete
My classmate is a demon...
------------- "Why're you staring at me?" I ask teasingly. I hear him letting out a breath, of embarrassment or guilt I don't know. "I may have unintentionally hurt you, on several occasions. I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile. "You okay? Did you hit your head or somethin'?" I tease. "Shut up." ------------------------- Olivia, a 16-year-old girl with a tragic past.
