Seventeen-year-old Nova McCoy isn’t just a normal teenager. Ever since she was a child, she’s had the ability to see ghosts. Living in the town of Lost Forest, Washington, where Dead Girl’s Curve is a local haunt, she’s constantly seeing the echoes of the dead. When a new ghost starts stalking Nova, she’s determined to get to the bottom of what happened to the person he once was, no matter the cost.

A local sheriff’s deputy, Tegan McCoy is used to small-town crime. He was the first on the scene for Sophia Leclair, the teen now infamous for Dead Girl’s Curve, and he’s more than accustomed to his daughter’s ability. So when she confides she’s seeing a new ghost, he’s more than willing to start a side-investigation into what may have happened in his sleepy little town.

The McCoys get drawn into the world of the dead to uncover the mystery of the ghost, into a place the living should never go. Nova’s ability is the only thing keeping them alive in their dangerous determination. Together, the two of them fight to stay alive in a realm of the dead, to receive answers for the ghost, and possibly for the questions they never had answers to for years. 

In the crossroad of the dead and the living, the dead seem determined to take Nova’s ability and sanity and possibly her life, and Tegan’s love and humanity may be the ultimate kryptonite against them.

Del finds a murdered young woman, who soon rises from the dead as a zombie. Del is brought into a very special community living in happy isolation within the beautiful Whisper Valley. There creatures of myth and legend live together in harmony, following a strict set of rules that allow them to be who they are but also enjoy modern amenities like a steady Wifi connection and the latest smartphone. They all just want a normal life that's free from persecution by humans. For them, humans are instead seen as a commodity. Specifically they're known as the "Bodies" and they all have one year to either be sponsored or converted by one of the town's supernatural citizens.

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

DOCTOR WHO: The Odd Life of Nova Sue -- PART 1: Becoming by audisawesomesauce
52 parts Complete
{PART 1 OF AN ONGOING SERIES} Life has its struggles, especially when one is born different from everyone else on the planet. Nova Susan Song is no ordinary teenage girl from Earth. In fact, she is not from Earth at all. She possesses these 'abilities' that she does not know the origins of, such as a high IQ that is much greater than any of her peers and to be able to make her skin glow gold and heal any injury at will, but her adoptive human parents urge her to keep these 'powers' secret from anyone she meets, including her best friend. With no clue as to why, Nova spends most of her life researching where her abilities originally came from and concludes that they must have come from her biological parents, who had given her up for adoption when she was just a few days old to be protected from a danger she does not understand--a danger known as the Vokanari, a.k.a. The Silence. And they want her to be their next weapon against her own father, the Doctor. When her best friend and human guardians are kidnapped, Nova joins her biological parents through Time and Space to find them and, along the way, learns the true meaning and responsibilities of being a Time Lord. ----------------------------- Other stories in the "Nova Sue" series: *** PREQUEL "Arising: A Nova Sue Prequel (PART 1.5)" COMPLETE*** *** SEQUEL "the odd life of Nova Sue -- Part 2: Discovering" IN PROGRESS *** Coverpage generated by ChatGPT.
