A world teetering on the edge of an otherworldly eco-disaster. A teenager torn from his home and forced to reckon with powers not of his choosing. Polluted magic, killer scarecrows, and creatures rising from the grave. Welcome to FULL DARK.
🌕
Tobias Burnbright is a young man living in the northern whaling town of Palewind, his life a dreary monotony of factory work and grey skies until a new religion called the Vigil hooks its talons into the populace. They believe Tobias' queerness marks him as Twisted: a label that threatens to make him an outcast, or worse.  Enter Columbus, a man who keeps his secrets close, the only hint of his past coming from the fire he wields like a weapon. 
🌓
Soon Tobias and his sister Amalia are spirited away by this mysterious man in a journey spanning a continent, a journey that will cause Tobias to confront himself and the dangerous magic that dwells within him. But little does he know that his path takes him ever closer to the enigmatic Calico: an undead magus connected to Tobias by a past life, and whose schemes threaten to tear apart the very fabric of the world.

There are many millions of parallels. Worlds living and breathing at the same time - time doesn't even exist, 18th century England is living and breathing alongside the present day. While London is living in the past, Afalon is pushing toward it's future. 7 sons, a rare and lucky amount, are Princes in line to the throne. Melanie is in the 18th century, conning each village out of their wares in exchange to see but an inch into their future. Then, after an unlucky exchange, she's dragged into the floating court-city of Afalon in the Æther - another world entirely - to stand trial for someone else crimes. Trial by fire. Trial without end. Ameline has been busy pillaging and murdering her way through Afalon for months, making the ælfin pay for what they did to her family. Then, on a whim, she decides to go big or go home. She kills one of the Seven Princes. Those same princes who embody the attributes of each deadly sin... Now, another girl is brought from her homeworld, Earth, to stand trial for Ameline's own crimes. Worse still... she recognizes her face so, so much. It's her own. A doppelgänger. A modern twist on terrible childhoods and anti-heros. Melanie and Ameline's story is a page-turner you certainly need to start, but with such tragedy and twisting themes of joy and horror you'll want to finish.

Eye of the Needle: Into the Reikai by DystopianSmile
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Faith, fear, and fury. The strongest, most inalienable things that make us human. While the people of the world learn and grow, they shed feeling and emotion as time passes. Much like how matter cannot truly be destroyed, the energies of these sentiments never dissipates. Instead, it feeds beings born of all types of things, from ancient cultural followings to widespread societal discourse. In turn, these beings give back to the world--for better or worse. After the traumatic incident of his father's death, young DeMain is thrust into a world of turmoil and a hidden people right under the world's nose. As he harnesses a rare and unique ability gifted to him in exchange for his suffering, his view of the world unravels as he converges with others given the gift of Witchblood, an ability to see and interact with spirits. This book will take on its narrative based on the first-person views of three separate protagonists. I will remind those reading that 'protagonist' does not equate to 'hero' in all cases. A forewarning: This story includes many heavy themes and I felt the need to write them with the reality of how they happen. As such, be cautious. This book contains mentions of sexual assault, murder, violence, substance abuse, and overall conflict. There are also quite a varied amount of scenes with some 'gross' aspects to them. Though I imagine this would only affect those with vivid imaginations, you deserve to be warned regardless. Updates will done be once weekly if not more.

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

"Who was that?" he growled. "Who was who?" "Don't play dumb with me. Who was that guy you danced with. The one you were laughing with." "You need to chill out. That was my best friend Jayson" "Best friends don't have their hands all over you" he spat with a deep voice. "I owed him a - wait. I don't have to tell you anything" I yelled and walked around him. I started to walk back to the ballroom but my hand was yanked back. "What was he doing so close to your face?" his eyes now blacked. "He was looking at my necklace and you are very possessive over nothing" I spat turning around. I stopped when I heard a rip. I took a deep breathe and slowly turned around. I looked at Lucifer who had a smirk on his face. I looked down to see my necklace broken in pieces. Tears were now forming in my eyes. I bend down and scoped up the piece of necklace. "Don't tell me you're going to cry over a f*cking necklace" he chuckled in a deep voice. I took off my heels and held it in one hand and held the pieces of necklace in the other. Lucifer kept talking but I was just trying to hold my tears in. ********************************************* ATTENTION READERS!!! THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR MY WRITING. I KNOW IT MAY NOT BE THE BEST BUT I WILL TRY TO GET BETTER. THIS BOOK HAD SWEARING AND MAYBE SOME SEXUAL CONTENTS.
