A dark and compelling study of a young intellectual tempted towards crime through severe poverty.
Raskolnikoff, a former student who is morbidly self-obsessed, murders an old lady, who is a money-lender, with a borrowed hatchet in a desperate attempt to free himself of poverty. From the opening pages, Dostoyevsky attaches us unflinchingly to his intense and mysterious anti-hero, creating a web of intimacy and tension. Crime and guilt are the central themes running through the novel and the notions of 'justifiable' murder and worldly retribution are depicted with deft and razor-sharp precision. The novel both haunts and disturbs, yet it is the most accessible and exciting novel in the world.

36 parts Complete Mature
Warning: Only for ages 18+ "You are in my seat," I repeated. "You said that already," the boy beside him voiced with a profound russian accent. The undertone sent a chill to break out on my skin. My hands curled around the books in my arms as I studied him a bit more. The two were similar in the physical, same bone structure and sharp jawline except for the crooked way the second one's nose was angled. As I looked him over he studied me with the eyes of sweet honey, the pools of gold shameless in their perusal. "We are entitled to sit anywhere we like." "You haven't listened the first time," I gritted. I was not in the mood for his bullshit. Not after what I went through this morning. "You are both entitled to a empty seat such as those in the back row." I pointed to the desks Mrs. Murray keeps free of name tags. "This is my section." His lips pursed. "And what about this seat? It is empty. No name, therefore I have claimed it." "I don't do well with partners," I explained. "Not if you like people who bite." His smirk was devilishly sly. "Vy mozhete ukusit' menya v lyuboye vremya, krasivaya devushka." You can bite me any time, pretty girl. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ This is Korina Volkov's first encounter with Maksimillian Nikolaev, a Russian fighter for the Bratva. He's charming and persistent, but Korina wants nothing to do with him. She's a girl with dark secrets, a thief forced to steal to uphold a debt with the Dom of the Russian Brotherhood. Boris Sokolov. The father of her fiancé, Erik. Despite her future with another boy, Maksimillian chases. He wants her. He's adamant about stealing her heart. But soon Boris returns with Korina's past, and a deal that can set her family free from the chains he cast upon them. In order to save her family she'll reach further into the mafia's madness, tangled in a mess of lust, love, deception and the hunger for Maksimillian that will result in giving up being a thief and welcoming a new role.

"They don't understand. Love isn't about mercy. For you, I'd stain the earth with blood and sleep soundly at night. I'd kill a thousand times over if it meant keeping you safe." - Erevin Frostell Erevin Frostell is no stranger to solitude. A reclusive genius with a knack for solving problems but failing at human connections, he transfers to Riverview High in search of a fresh start. When he meets Dawn White, a kind-hearted classmate with mysteries of her own, Erevin begins to glimpse a brighter, more connected future. But their growing bond is tested by an ancient mystery tied to their past-and the darker side of human nature. Things take a devastating turn when bullies target Dawn, leaving her physically and emotionally scarred. Erevin intervenes, at great personal risk, but the aftermath is shattering. Students of Riverview High start meeting tragic and unexplained deaths, whispers of accidents spread through the halls. In this blend of mystery, romance, and psychological drama, justice isn't always black and white, and love might not be enough to save them from themselves. Welcome to the "Dawn of Twilight" , a blend of romance, adventure, and darkness. The story explores complex themes like love, trauma, and consequences of choices, interspersed with moments of light and shadow. It contains mature content such as blood, gore, sexual harassment, drug use, intoxication, murder, and violence, used to depict deep emotional and psychological struggles. The series critically engages with these themes and does not endorse harmful behaviour. It's intended for mature readers seeking a deep exploration of the human condition.

I barely make it a few steps before I feel his hand clamp down on my hair, yanking me back with terrifying force. "Going somewhere, little girl?" "P-please let g- ahh! Please! H-Hurts me!" "Afraid, are we now, baby?" His voice is a snarl now, filled with fury. "L-leave m-me," tears sting my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I'm scared of him, scared of what he'll do to my friend, scared of what he'll do to me. His grip on my hair tightens and I wince, choking back a sob. "Oh, why? Don't you like my hands on you, baby?" He mocks hurt that instantly turns back into anger. "But you were fine when that fucker touched you, ain't that right?" Then he pulls a silver knife out of his suit, twirling it lazily between his ink-covered knuckles and my blood freezes at the sight of that psychotic grin. ***** People quaked with fear at the sound of his name and me along with them. He was Demetrios 'the God' Nikolayev and he was first in command of Russian mafia. He was a true psychopath who enjoyed hurting people, and I hated him for that. The worst thing - he owned me. "Try to accept the darkness, because from now on, it will be your only light." I tried so hard, but I couldn't understand it back then. How possibly can darkness be light? ***** This is not a vanilla romance but a dark, toxic, perverted, obsessive story. The book contains mature themes such as foul language, bdsm, sexual and abusive content, kinks, blood, manipulation, etc. Please keep that in mind.
