Book Two of the Unorthodox Duology
~Vesper~
I gave them five minutes to panic.
Five minutes to pace.
Five minutes to yank at your hair.
Five minutes to guzzle down as much black licorice as you could.
Five minutes to rock back and forth muttering 'Lordy lordy lordy'.
"Times up. Let's look at it again."
What we want is simple;
we want you to stop.
U.N.O should crumple.
It should just drop.
This is a warning.
We'll destroy you without a doubt.
Disaster is pending.
Three strikes, you out.
[Don't play with fire.]
THE FRAME [ • ]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a stunt goes wrong, Vesper and her squad of friends and fellow rebels are a bit hesitant to continue. And especially with a seemingly new group, ready to wash away their image with deceit and fake representation, they are against a threat that may just be more dangerous than the police.
The stunts are getting more dangerous and Finley without fail is still on the move searching for the culprits who she believes to be U.N.O. The chief has installed a weapon that is supposed to see all, including the rebels. Will this help or would more need to be done?

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers.

In the Mansions
My friends and I role play a lot in this website called chatzy.com. We have this whole world mapped out based on the Hunger Games. We live in two mansions. One is the main mansion, where we all used to live until it got really crowded, and then the second mansion belongs to Gracie. Her mansion is by a waterfall, just a ten minute walk away. Most of us have super powers. I mean, if the Capitol can make mutts, surely we can give ourselves super powers. Gracie has black wings, Talia has super speed, Chris has super strength, Derrick can make himself invisible. Nina can make herself invisible and make force fields too. We all have issues here. Sierra doesn't talk. Chris is a germaphobe. Chase cuts himself. We all have reasons for running away from the districts and the Capitol, but we've all found sanctuary here. This is the second book of our adventures, a sequel to Outside the Districts.Complete
The Jack of Souls (Multi-award winner!)
************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.Complete

The Vespertine Enigma
Book one in the Vespertine institute series. Nolan Townstead, a diagnosed sociopath is stuck having to attend The Vespertine Institute for the next three years. The Vespertine Institute is a facility especially made for troubled individuals of both genders that seconds as a form of rehabilitation facility for the "students". The student's crimes, which have landed them at the institution range from petty theft to murder. Nolan's reason, however is a secret, one he refuses to share with people. Christan La Claire, a diagnosed psychopath has been at the institute longer than anyone. No one knows why or even bothers to question him. He's also the self-proclaimed leader of a group of misfits that commit petty crimes throughout the Institute. He's never been open to sharing his things with other people, nevertheless, that comes to a head when he's assigned to room with the new kid who somehow gets involved with their tiny group. However, not everything is as it seems, because during one of the group's failed attempts at sneaking into the headmistress's office to steal a hard drive, Nolan stumbles upon something more that might just be a lot more appealing to the man he had previously butted heads with. A stack of papers that will change the way everyone sees the institute. [[NOTE]] Unedited This book, as well as the others in the trilogy will be written in the third person so please be nice as I just want to change things up a bit. I know it might not be good so constructive criticism is welcome. This series will focus more on the mystery so the romance is a subplot. But it's still there. At least I hope it is but IDK 😭 TOXIC! Do not think this is a cute and fluffy romance. They try to kill each other, literally.
Poisonus Love(Blackhat x Fem!Reader)
'No one talks about the blood and dirt underneath your fingernails when doing the right thing, which was always considered too hard to be done.' Y/n always fought for what felt right. Not for glory nor praise. And definitely not for any self-righteous, spotlight-hogging hero who always had people treating them like legends in a time of history. Life begins bringing reluctant alliances. Thankfully, Y/n learns important key details. One's she wished she had known before meeting a powerful, demonic cryptid. Chaos dressed with elegance, he- a monster content with watching the world cower before him- recognized a familiar fire in Y/ns eyes. They'd bring a messy rivalry with many kinds of wrong she wanted to avoid. Struggling to stay away from a strange mark upon her, he felt a pull that only grew more as time moved on. Something within the chaos that both adored began pulling them closer. Close enough that flirtation would meet fury, and morality would bend for the other's sake. Both couldn't know just how hard it really was to avoid falling. "That's one badass lasso wonder man!" "For a dead girl, you don't look too bad without much on." Dying in such a way where her body deems it almost impossible to pull her soul back. Even then, she'd come back, yet feel the full force of being forced back into her broken vessel. "She's only telling us this because it's fanfiction...!~" WELCOME TO POISONOUS LOVE!!! SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR OVER A YEAR(Yet haven't uploaded a damn thing about- UNTIL NOWWW) TW- violence, blood, death, suicide, contains (probably) smut, lemon, lime- all of that.
