Sixteen-year-old Maggie Nolan's life has changed drastically in a matter of months. After the disappearance of her mother and the sudden death of her father, she finds herself moving to a tiny village called Maynooth, in rural Ireland, to live with a grandmother she hardly remembers. From the moment she lands in the Emerald Isle, she feels compelled to make certain choices-all of which lead her to Ben McGuire. Ben, a fellow Canadian, is working in the village's bookshop, searching for clues that might identify the voice he's been hearing in his dreams for weeks. The moment she opens her mouth, Ben knows the voice belongs to Maggie.
Grainne O'Shea, on the other hand, has lived in Maynooth for years, and tries to move through her days unnoticed while attempting to navigate the wicked, complicated moods of her cruel mother. And it mostly works, until she garners the attention of popular Tryk Flanagan. Tryk has always known who Grainne is, but he's suddenly transfixed by her and worried for her safety. Grainne tries to shake the unwanted attention but for Tryk, walking away isn't an option.
When the four discover their connection, during an unnerving showdown with an unexpected evil, the truth starts to unravel, and it's clear that nothing will ever be the same.

Supernova
Zora always knew she didn't belong to this world. She didn't even know her real name. She never met her birth parents, having been left in a firehouse as a 6-month-old baby. Zora has bounced from one foster home to the next since she was a troubled child. Bad things, or "accidents" always followed Zora. She always felt like she was one step behind everyone else trying to catch up. Trying to be normal, but Zora is not normal. And never will be. Bryce Cullen is another lost soul in the world. He is also one of a kind. When they first met it was a supernova, two stars coming together in a stellar collision with stellar dynamics. As an evil is looming, threatening to destroy the Earth, can these two outliers save the world with powers neither utterly understand? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Zora could only shiver as: his eyes darken looking at her, becoming more onyx black, and purple bruise-like shadows appear beneath his eyes. Bryce stands at 6'2" and has a thin and lanky but muscular body. Zora felt a tiny piercing pain trying to hit her over and over, but somehow it was blocked. "Where am I?" "Who are you?" Bryce asked sternly, glaring down at Zora. "It's her!" Piper said running onto the field. "That's the girl! She is the girl from my dreams! She is the one to bring Hell Fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates every Wednesdays! Participating in: #theseasonalcontestCompleet
Under The Dark Sky
Rhiannon, an 18-year-old, aspiring author, and her mother, Ruby, live in a small fishing town on the Oregon coast. For all of Rin's childhood, they've stayed in the same run-down shack on top of a small store, owned by Ruby. When strange things begin to happen around the teen, Rin has suspicions but can't seem to prove them until a set of siblings move into the meager, hostile town, Mare and Dune. It becomes clear that the two new kids aren't just there for a fresh start, they are there to look for something or somebody. Weeks go by, and the twins are enjoying the company of their new friend, but with a time crunch soon approaching and hunches of their own, the twins know they can't be fooling around any longer with Rin. They have to leave and continue their search elsewhere. After multiple dead-end, leading them in a wild goose chase, all the clues may have just burned up in one brief moment between Rin and Dune. Before long, the twins have to ask themselves if Rin is who they were sent to find and if so, does she even knows what she is?Compleet
Fayre
Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."Compleet

Little Green Stars
A haunting has never been so complicated or fun. Vel Shamrock has never been normal and is definitely NOT lucky. She's the unforgiving, snarky ginger girl the whole school hates and whose own sister expects to go crazy-just like their mom. Vel is, in fact, going a little crazy-she must be because only crazy people wake up every night at the same time paralyzed as they watch themselves leave their body, unable to remember anything, right? Wrong, Vel isn't lucky enough to be going crazy. Instead, she's just unlucky enough to be haunting the new guy at school-the one she's falling for. *2nd place in the 2020 Skyfall Awards for Teen Fiction barbaramay91 / Barbara May © 2020.
