It was the way things worked. Always before, always now, always forever. In the world where Raine "3" lives, people are categorized by times, present like a tattoo since birth, and determines what times they are allowed to proceed outside. Follow the main characters in their journey in the corrupt social structure that they were born into and their struggles to find a better world for everyone; for it is not about us, or them, but it is about equality, it is about how everyone should get-and deserves-a chance to become who they want to be-because time? It's running out.

I Loved You Blindly [Complete]
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Blackout. [COMPLETED]
A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams. What if you lived namelessly, forgetting everything you knew every few days. Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.Complete
Well Now You Know
"Do you see me?" "I always see you." ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ It all started three years ago. During that elusive summer that cracked them all down the middle and changed their lives forever. How do you live with that? How do you change all you know and attempt to live the same? Well, the eight of them are about to learn perhaps you don't just get to live with it, and instead, you need to confront the past. Or maybe just fucking pummel it further into the ground. ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ "Why were we ever friends?" Dakota mutters, wiping a hand down his face. "Because we all worked well together." Maeve shrugs, "We're all so fucking different. It honestly made this whole thing perfect." Neviah raises a brow, "I think we have different definitions of perfect." "I second that." Victoria hums. "Perhaps deserving?" Phoenix reasons, "We're not perfect, but we're all deserving of each other?" Dylan smiles softly, "I like that."
Paradox - Lost in Time
In a world on the brink of collapse, a deadly mutation of the Zika virus, labelled H1T1, begins to claim lives with a speed not seen since the Black Death swept through Europe. Desperate to stop the outbreak, a group of young scientists successfully constructs a time machine, hoping to venture into the future to retrieve a cure and bring it back to their present. Fully aware of the risks, they push the machine beyond its limits and find themselves partially stranded in a dystopian future. In this grim reality, the virus has wiped out three-quarters of the global population, dismantling society as we know it. The remnants of humanity now inhabit fractured cities, controlled by brutal armed factions and authoritarian regimes. Trapped in this hostile world, the group must navigate a landscape of violence and despair while confronting their own futures and counterparts from this timeline. The mistakes of the past resurface: rivalries, betrayals, and the devastating losses that tore them apart-murder, madness, and the inescapable brutality of a world drained of hope. In their fight to survive and find the cure, they face not only the dangers of this future but also the haunting reality of what they might become.Complete
The Feedback Loop
Emma Raines was never meant to be free. As the neural network known as Reflekt transformed the world into a synchronized utopia, she became its blueprint-the perfect mind, optimized for control. But when fractures in the system reveal echoes of the life she once had, Emma makes a choice that will unravel everything. Tearing down the network is only the beginning. As reality itself crumbles, she must navigate a world where identity is fragmented, control is an illusion, and freedom may come at the cost of existence itself. With the remnants of humanity scattered and the architects of control lurking in the void, Emma faces an impossible choice-rebuild, or let the world fade into oblivion. The system was never just technology. It was a way of thinking. And some ideas don't die easily.Complete
Death of a Star
Raine Antares should be dead. However, she was rescued and healed-- at least physically. She knows that she's only alive because her intelligence is valued in a world where intellect and skill is all that matters. To her parents and everyone else, Raine is just a resource to be used. Soon after she's fully recovered, Raine's shipped off to an elite academy. There, she finally finds people she can trust, who truly care about her and like her for who she is, something she never imagined would happen. Raine realizes that there might be things worth living for in the broken society she was born in, and that change needs to happen. Chess prodigy Callen Vega has always been at the top of the hierarchy. He's intelligent, famous, and attractive. He has the life that people would kill for, but he's not satisfied with it. His life is dull and mundane and he's constantly craving a challenge, one he'll never get. But when the intriguing new transfer student arrives, his life starts to change in ways he never would've expected, and he knows he can never go back to the way things were before.
Good side of hell
Hi! This is my first book, and I wanted to write a story about "good" and "bad" - but from a different perspective. This book talks a lot about abuse, trauma, mental health, and teen life. It's bittersweet: you'll get plot twists, mystery, action... but also some soft and sweet moments in between. It follows Layla - a girl raised to be a weapon. Her life has never been normal, and now she's sent on her first mission: to protect a boy from a wealthy family. I hope you enjoy it!Complete
