A/N: This book is action-packed with a sprinkle of mystery all wrapped in a science-fiction teen drama! I know. It's quite a mouthful. Cue the summary!
***
Skylar is born with predetermined odds against her. She's been isolated since birth from her true nature and her peers in the name of an experiment. A change of plans cause the people in charge to order her relocation to Oakwood, a microscopic town swarming with mutants like her. They silently follow her journey as Riley is confronted to strange locals, a boy that hates her guts and nightmarish monsters lurking around her house. Throughout the series, she slowly but surely discovers truths about herself she could never fathom... and that there is a daunting trap waiting to snap.
One life. One experiment. Endless lies.
Some cussing and violence invovled.
THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK OF A SERIES AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY DARKER 😈
Disclaimer :
My story is inspired from Jennifer Armentrout's series Lux (basically, credits to her because this wouldn't exist otherwise). There are many differences but also several similarities. The plot isn't centered the same, either way. I just have fun writing and twisting up my favorite elements.

Underneath Her Glasses
*WINNER OF THE WATTORIGINALS AWARDS* ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ "Treat me like a queen and I'll treat you like a king. Treat me like a game and I'll show you it's played. You play me, I play you, bad boy. That's just how it works". Leanne Stanford, to everyone, is a nerd. There's no big deal about her. But she's mysterious in a way and this mysteriousness attracts Ethan Baxter, a guy who sees everything as a game. You see, Ethan believes that 'Secrets are the beginning of mysteries'. He likes to fit in the missing puzzle and that's exactly what he does when he discovers Leanne's biggest secret. In order to make him keep shut about it, Leanne strikes a deal with him, a deal he wants only for the fun of it, or so he claims. All this just brings Ethan closer to Leanne and he is plunged into her mysterious world. However, he realizes that everything is not what it seems because underneath her glasses is a badass legendary underground wrestler with a load of secrets. ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ NOTE: Although this book is marked complete, it is actually incomplete because I'm starting all over again and writing a new and revised version. If you still want to read this though go ahead. You're welcome to do so. However, I must warn you, this book is filled with a bunch of unrealistic, cringeworthy and facepalmy moments. credits to @DaisyDoesNothing for the cover.Lengkap
(REWRITING) The Skylar Experiment : Coveting
"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.Lengkap

So when she ends up being a he, what does Hayden do? During the wait to switch place, she grows quite attached to the care, kindness, humor, simplicity and courage the five boys show her.

So what happens when the paralyzing book of her nightmares once more opens and is read out loud for not only her, but now, also those five boys? Easy. She tries running away again. But...

Delirium: Crash & Burn
" What's your name?" a deep gentle voice elevated above my head, like the voice of God. I looked up and met a pair of piercing blue eyes. He smiled, a small sexy grin, exposing his perfect teeth, his cheeks dipped inwards revealing small caves of dimples. His skin was tan and dusted lightly with freckles, his hair was dark and effortlessly messy as if he had just gotten out of bed. He too had a series of tattoos on his forearms, none of them connected, each tattoo separate. I couldn't help my eyes from roaming. He was strikingly handsome. •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• A dark twist on a classic teen fiction. A story written through four very different perspectives. A world full of bad boys, parties, drugs, and lies. But it's more than the typical teen story. In this dark teen fiction each character has a complex and serious back story and each character has to overcome the lies, love, lust, and trauma that they face. A story about experiencing first times, overcoming hard times and finding your true self in due time. DISCLAIMER: This story includes themes of suicide, terrorism, drugs, and sex- Please read with that in mind. Note: This version on Wattpad is unedited and the first draft- I am currently doing the second and then I will do the third draft of this book. Hopefully one day it will be published- THIS IS NOT THE FINAL FINISHED BOOK.Lengkap
Two Gangs and a Golden Girl
"I didn't ask to be in the middle of your ego-battle," I grumble. Blake pins me to my locker, hands resting on either side of my head. "Well, you got it in anyway, Darling," he whispers. His face is inches away from mine and damn me for licking my lips. I am NOT falling for these guys. And then, at the corner of my eye I spot Owen and his gang approaching. Well, that's just great. *** The West and East gang of Tygerwell have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time. And the two leaders of these gangs want to end the fight, once and for all. But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with. And when Amber descovers she knows a little too much when it comes to guns and fighting, she has to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Three can play this game. *** "Let's settle this. You got rejected, I got rejected. It's only fair that the fate of the gangs be on who gets the girl first." "That sounds rather good, Rhodes. I'll take that bet on the golden girl." *** COMPLETED FICTION AWARDS: Best new story and best new account Highest ranking in Teen Fiction: #1 on 25/06/2018Lengkap
The Free City
Disclaimer: this book is lgbtq friendly, and has more than one love interest. there is no love triangle, but there is a poly romance vibe. it is teen fiction, so it does not get explicit. There are mentions of past bullying (but again nothing too explicit), a near-death experience when a character nearly sacrifices themselves for the good fo the group, and isolation-related trauma. The main character does not participate in SH and there is no SA. Dianna is free. Finally. Now she just wants to stay that way. Dianna was born a Super in Carson City, one of the many independent cities in the confederation. Marked at birth with a power no one fully understood until it was too late, she ended up rotting in prison for crimes she never meant to commit. When a second chance arrives in the form of a transfer to a new City, Dianna is startled to realize just how different her new home is from the old. At the new Super Academy, she begins to understand what it means to be a friend. What it means to trust someone. But a cityless mercenary army is on a warpath, and Dianna's new city is caught in the crossfire. Their new Super general is stronger than anyone realizes, and Dianna will need to let her new friends into her heart and face the demons of her past in order to come to terms with her terrible power in time to help save the City she's grown to love.Lengkap
Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Lengkap

Bound
#1 Werewolf (08.09.2022) Ever since her eighteenth birthday, Skylar Morgan has been tormented by the same recurring nightmare. Now, eight years later, she's finally found peace in a quiet town and opened the shop she always dreamed of-accepting the nightmares as a strange, unsettling part of her life. Until the newcomers arrive. Among them is a striking, rugged stranger whose presence changes everything. With Dmitri Makarov's arrival, Skylar's once-calm world unravels, revealing a reality she never imagined. Because Dmitri isn't just any man-he's a Lycan, the Alpha of a powerful nearby pack, and the sworn protector of the town she calls home. He isn't searching for a mate. But fate has other plans. When Hunters begin circling Skylar, Dmitri is forced to step in-only to discover that Skylar's secrets run deeper than either of them realized. And the nightmares she carries may be the key to a legend that binds them together... and a threat hiding in the shadows. With their fates intertwined, Skylar and Dmitri must uncover the truth before the puppeteer behind the chaos destroys them both. Bound is not your typical shifter romance and contains more mature characters with a focus on the relationship and character development. This book contains some curse words and explicit sexual scenes as Skylar explores her sexuality. This book is for a mature audience.
