Ripley Turner.
She's a kickass girl living a kickass life in New York City. People call her 'The Girl On The Streets' or 'That Turner Girl'.
Her tale isn't a sob story; to be frank, it's quite harsh, but it's realistic.
Evangelina Jones. Daughter to one of the biggest families in New York. Perfect family, the neighbors would say. I want to be her, the girls at her school would say. The perfect life, everyone would say! Yeah...no. Evangelina hated everything about her life.
Gemma Williams was an attractive girl with brown hair and hazel eyes.
She caught almost all the eyes of the guys at Copper Cove High. She was also popular, but she trusted no one with her secret; her family was very poor.
And then there was sweet Harmony Kinderwell, who loved to write but was very sarcastic and feisty. Probably the most sensible in the group. But she too hides a secret to herself, one she covers up with her personality.
Selene Brookes scared nearly everyone on the streets, from the 10 year olds eating candy to even the dirty stray cats. She doesn't MEAN To, but she can't help it, considering her history was more than rough...
Well, they're what you'd call normal Citizens of New York City in the year 2001. But an abandoned train station, a flash of light and fate changed it all... for the best and for the worst.

17 Days & Die ✔️
[NOW TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED WORLDWIDE] "A life of happiness would be hell on earth." • When Grace finally decided to end her life, the last thing she expected was to meet a stranger simply gazing at the stars, dangling his feet over the edge of the bridge, exactly where she had planned to jump into the abyss and end it all. What was supposed to be the last hour of Grace's life becomes the hour in which she poured her drunken, broken heart out to a stranger over a bottle of scotch and a fresh round of tears. However, before they parted their ways, the stranger offered her a deal: she must promise to hold on to her life for another seventeen days, and afterwards, she could do with it whatever she'd like. He promise to even attend her funeral if he couldn't change her mind. But why seventeen days? And why did this stranger even care? There was more to him than what met the eye, and compelled by her own curiosity, Grace couldn't refuse. Maybe these seventeen days will only prolong her suffering. Or maybe they'll open her eyes to a part of life she never knew existed, full of hope for a brighter future. And maybe, just maybe, she'll learn to fall in love. • [FEATURED UNDER NEW ADULT, YOUNG ADULT, GENERAL FICTION, HUMOR & ROMANCE] • [Extended summary inside] [Started: 1 February'2020] [Finished: 24 January'2021] ©️prettyimbecileLengkap
What Lurks Beneath the Surface ✔️
"Maybe I should bring you home," he suggests. "Maybe you should find us a more secluded spot," I toss back, snaking my arms around his neck. "You're pretty drunk, Vange." "I am." "And we barely know each other." I feel myself deflate like a balloon after receiving the sharp end of a needle. Of course Rem doesn't want me. Nash doesn't want me, either. Hell, my own father doesn't even want me. What is it about me that's so unlikable? ---------- Good girl Evangeline Porter has always felt like there was a darkness inside of her, just trying to claw its way to the surface. She hides it well, but when she starts having nightmares that feel more like memories, she is desperate for answers. Unfortunately, no one will give them to her. With the help of her longtime crush, Rem, she launches an amateur investigation into her family's history, except what they uncover is more sinister than Evangeline ever could have imagined. The truth doesn't set you free, after all. ‼️WARNING: The romance in this novel is fast-paced. If you want slow-burn, this isn't for you. That's all I'm going to say about it.‼️ ***BOOK THREE IN THE RAE OF LIGHT SERIES. However, it can be read as a stand-alone.*** Copyright © 2020 Briana Eliza. All rights reserved.Lengkap
Petals Of Vengeance
In a modern city cloaked in wealth and silence, Medusa lives under the name Zena, hiding her mythic identity behind enchanted contact lenses and a quiet life as an artifact restoration specialist at a prestigious museum. Her hands mend broken relics, but her soul remains cold-scarred by betrayal, centuries of exile, and the cruelty of men. By night, she becomes something else. Her serpents awaken, her eyes burn with ancient fury. When she gazes upon a rapist, he doesn't just turn to stone-he crumbles into dust, erased from existence. No body. No evidence. No trace. Only silence. Only justice. Her targets are chosen by Lina, a survivor Medusa once saved. Lina is now a criminology student by day and works as a digital ghost by night, infiltrating encrypted forums and survivor networks to identify predators who hide behind power and privilege, through their digital software called SerpentSight. Together, they form a secret alliance-vengeance delivered in whispers. Then comes Alex-a demisexual visual artist with a shattered heart. Years ago, Alex was manipulated and emotionally abused. Now, Alex paints in solitude, exploring myth and memory, trying to reclaim his life. He meets Zena at the museum during an artist residency. Their connection is slow, built on shared silences, mutual respect, and the ache of survival. Alex senses something ancient in Zena-something dangerous, but also deeply human. As their bond deepens, Lina uncovers a predator embedded in the art world: a powerful gallery owner running a female human trafficking ring, using art shows as a front to exploit vulnerable women. Survivors are silenced, sold, and erased. Medusa must decide: strike again and risk losing her humanity, or let Alex help her rewrite the narrative through art, truth, and rebellion.Lengkap
