WELCOME TO BLAZING RIVERS 


A YOUNG ADULT STORY WITH COMEDY, TRAGEDY, CONFLICT AND A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE. 


Falling is inevitable. And when you start, it is hard to stop. 

Blaze O'Toole, a teenage alcoholic and frequent drug taker changed from the girl she once was after a horrific tragedy that stole everything from her, piece by piece. 

Every time she drinks or swallows a pill, she falls deeper, becoming further away from those who care about her. 

After her Godparents failed attempts to get her help, after Blaze sent previous counsellors away, Nicola, her Godmother insists that Blaze once and for will get help, threatening to kick her out of the house. 

Being pushed into a group session with a new mentor, Blaze tries to swallow her pride and try it out, even though in the back of her mind it will all end the same, with her being thrown out after being difficult. 

Though when she gets there and meets River Raeken, her new mentor, everything seems to change. He cares, not like the others before, and to Blaze, that's scary. River, unbeknownst to Blaze, has a past of his own, and struggles that have rose up in his mind again. 

The two of them are broken, cracks in their walls that can never be repaired. But maybe that is what will help each other, because they understand. 


Can Blaze let the horrific night go? And can River hold on?

And could they possibly both catch each other from the treacherous fall they are on?

One meeting changed everything.

[Warning: this book contains SEXUAL content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios. If you aren't mature enough to read, don't.] First novel, don't judge. He did everything he could to forget about her. There was no 'girl of his dreams'. Only the playground she taunted him in. The blonde broke his heart like glass on concrete. Only picking up the broken pieces is much harder than he thought. Ace Valentino is not one to go against everything someone tells him, but you could definitely categorize him as a bad boy. Especially one with bad habits. A broken-hearted druggie that is held under the confines of his cold-hearted, adrenaline junkie, ash blonde ex. Afraid to move on and love again, he drowns himself in alcohol & illegal substances. Ace's secrets are the things he vows to keep forever private, never to reveal them ever again. Unexpectedly, his new neighbor immediately captivates him with foreign feelings and fears most the outcome of it all. Willow Andrews, a benevolent, tormented, naive girl that has nothing but herself and physically abusive guardian. Having never experienced love, Willow fears the unknown. Although, she is drawn to the mystery boy that is her new next door acquaintance. In this story, two people come together not for love, but for recuperation. Or could Ace's past relationship and Willow's insecurities hold back the chance to find 'it' again? Will that change be for better or for worse? Something quite magical or melancholy in the works....

His lips are dominating my own, as his hands travel down my back, and he tugs on my shirt, to release it from my skirt. His hands then caresses my bare skin for a few minutes, before he sits up. He brings me with him, and I'm now straddling his lap. His eyes are filled with lust, and I'm so damn scared, for completely different reasons than earlier tonight. His skillful fingers finds the buttons of my shirt, and he opens them slowly, while I lean back down towards him, to make our lips connect again. I might come to my senses if he doesn't keep kissing me. He tugs the shirt off of me, and his hands run across my bare stomach. He stops, suddenly, and I feel a sharp sting under my left boob. "What happened? Are you..." He trails off, as he looks down at my body, and I stiffen. Holy shit, I forgot all about that. "Ives... What is this?" he asks, and he pulls his hands away from me. 🌹 Ives has just moved away from her overprotective brother and their alcoholic dad to go to college. She is trying her best to put her past behind her, but it keeps coming back to haunt her. In this book we get to know Ives and her new friends as she struggles with her newfound freedom.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
