If you're a fan of gritty, crime, action thrillers then this is the book for you. A book I can guarantee will have you hooked and rooting for the protagonist by the end of the first chapter. Ryan Shaw; a man who kills without remorse, but not without reason. 

What started in the dusty compounds of Helmand will stain the snow red four and a half thousand miles away on the banks of the River Tees.

Former Sergeant, Ryan Shaw is dishonourably discharged from the Royal Marines and sentenced to five years in prison. Now released and living in London, Shaw is still trying to come to terms with what happened in Afghanistan and rebuild his life. That is until he receives a phone call from his younger brother. He soon finds himself back in the North East, submerged in a violent world of drugs and murder, where he is forced to carry out an inspection of a potential weapons purchase; an inspection that could send him straight back to prison. As the events set him on a collision course with his own demons, Shaw must decide how far he's willing to go to save his family.

His mentor, the woman he'd trusted with his skills throughout his formative years, was arrested for horrible offenses - child trafficking, and administering performance-enhancing drugs to minors. The news shattered Opal's world, leaving him lacking financial security as his mother had stolen his earnings, and estranged from genuine support. But it didn't matter anymore when all hell broke loose. Xazenthliethian Troops began to hurt their people in 'Xazenthlieth' the unknown and understudied country behind the walls of the eight elemental kingdoms, Causing a fallen government and a society based on trust and rank.

How does he become engulfed in the arms of two dashing figures in a world that is not yet known to the universe, while experiencing a total supernatural awakening? I'll call it Recherché, because that's what it is, dammit. READ TAGS BEFORE READING!!

HIS NEXT VICTIM (DARK THRILLER) by thewriter_dwthomas

TRIGGER Warning: This story contains NON-CONSENT/ PHYSICAL ABUSE/ VERBAL ABUSE/ STOCKHOLM SYNDROME/SELF HARM. Kenise Shepard was perfect for him. He knew this upon first glance. Nevermind her wayward fashions and silly dreams of her future, that would be corrected in no time. He preferred to focus on the positive; the present. She would be perfect laying beneath him, caged in his arms, like a butterfly in his palm never to be set free. For her, this was a nightmare, a parallel universe when the handsome man she was dating turned into a demon, perfectly crafted to claw at her fragile mind. He couldn't force himself in her life, could he? There were laws against this sort of thing, right? Embry Johnston, a sex worker at a local Atlanta nightclub. There she stumbles into the world of the dangerous, Devon Kimber, a brutal pimp whose affection for the woman he fancies turns grave. What happens when Embry leads naive Kenise to this dangerous world and Devon likes what he sees? Will Kenise fall for Devon's charm and wit? Or will she see the monster beneath the mask?

Scathefire(MxM)[Unedited] by WikiHow_Articles

Avery had fallen from heaven sometime in the 13th century, finding refuge among a wolf in sheep's clothing. Cared for by a cult leader, Avery remains sheltered and as pure as a sacrificial lamb in a tumultuous modern world. Austin had gotten out of prison 13 years ago after he'd gone down the only path life had offered him at the time. Now, like a strange cosmic return, Austin finds more opportunity in his current situation and has spent his time as a free man carefully building a comfortable life around him, attempting to forget and shun his barbaric childhood. However, both of those shallow comforts hide deep wounds beneath them, and as Avery is catapulted into Austin's life, they unearth each other's festering scars. I can't promise I'll finish it, but I have decently high hopes, we'll see Updating on the 1st and 15th of every month :))

Never Look Back: A New Dawn by itschristinaaa

If you could stop the world from being blown to oblivion, would you? Ryan McCoy is a killer; a killer who can look into the eyes of his victims and not feel the slightest bit of remorse. Taking lives is something he's spent years committing himself to, but not the lives of innocents. He's what his kind call a tracker, where hardened criminals who roam free are the kinds of people you bury in exchange for money. However, after tragedy strikes, he's forced into fatherhood while being pursued by his old team of trackers. It's considered a sin to abandon your group, once you join, there's no escape. But Ryan does escape, and he does so in the most brutal of ways. Five years later, all of the trackers he once knew and worked with have gone corrupt. They became the criminals they were once so eager to find. After Ryan is introduced to a mysterious new face, his past catches up to him and his family. Secrets and deceit begin to follow him, and the only way he can rid himself of it is if he reunites with the trackers and goes along with one of the most inhumane acts of all time. Who is the one orchestrating all of it? The psychotic, cold, empty sociopath he's forced to call his brother. A brother whose life mission is to take everything Ryan's ever worked for and destroy it. ***WARNING*** This is a fictional story comprised of fictional characters. It contains language, mature concepts, alcohol/drug abuse, violence, and strong sexual content.

She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe.

Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

Rev wasn't even bothered by me staying in a relationship with Brad. How was this situation possible? Never in my wildest dreams would I have asked for this entanglement.

Accidents Made Right 2: Kakorrhaphiophobia by CameronMyers561

Commentary and Criticism is welcome, as I intend to make this story as amazing as I possibly can.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited) by janeisderranged

This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!
