Lost in the waves by SolitaireHolden12

Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.

Super Blogger by UC-creates

Love, Crime, Action! When the world's richest blogger is secretly the world's only superhero... you'd think he couldn't have it any better. But throw an alien race of conquerors into the picture, and the 24-year-old Jason Leo McLean is on a mission to save Earth from a fullblown invasion while at the same time sorting out his love life. *** For the longest time, Jason thought he was in love with his highschool crush, Gina Orwell. Even through college, he couldn't seem to get her out of his head. That is until his path links with June Austere, a famous popstar, at a special event. Their brief shared moments make him feel like they're a match made in heaven. A feeling he doesn't have time to process as he constantly battles criminals in his alien tech armor. However, a warrior from the stars arrives on Earth with sinister plans, forcing Jason to switch into the next gear or risk losing everything he holds dear--including Gina, who pops back into his life, all grown and sassy. And then there's Alain Archer, king of New Chronos City's underground, as dangerous as he is elusive. Hence, it's a full plate; two threats and two love interests. So as the galactic warrior hunts him down, the press gets alarmingly curious about his wealth, and his friends become increasingly suspicious, Jason must wear many masks while trying to save the world and get the girl--whoever she may be. As the saying goes; 'You win some, you lose some'. But sometimes you can either win it all or lose it all. ------------------------------------------------ 🏆1st Place winner in the sci-fi category of the 2023 Datura Awards. #FEATURED by @ScienceFiction #FEATURED by @AmbassadorsNG ▪︎▪︎▪︎ *Cover by the awesome @still_just_me ▪︎▪︎▪︎
