I've heard the old stories. "It's what's inside that matters", "beauty is only skin deep", but that was years ago. Somewhere along the line some genius decided that no one ever listened to those feel good quotes anyway. They were only ever there to make ugly people feel better.
For nineteen year old Hattie, it's finally happening. She's going on her first mission on her own. It's a dream come true to finally not have to be watched by her brother or anyone else. Being alone amongst beautiful people in The Place is easier than she thought, but when the mission doesn't go quite as planned and one of the Nobles ends up coming home with her, their planes to uproot the government quickly take off.
It's not what's on the outside that matters, it's how devious you are on the inside.

The Exit
In the scorching desert, a young boy slowly opened his eyes, groggily taking in his surroundings. He was met with a sea of unfamiliar faces - teenagers, all around his age, scattered across the endless dunes. The blistering sun beat down on them, relentless in its ferocity. As the boy struggled to sit up, he noticed the mix of fear, desperation, and determination etched on the faces around him. Some were huddled in small groups, whispering among themselves, while others wandered aimlessly, searching for something - anything - that could help them survive. The boy's memories were hazy, but one thing was certain: they were trapped. There was no sign of civilization in sight, just an endless expanse of sand and rock. No buildings, no roads, no rescue in sight. Panic began to set in as the boy scrambled to his feet, joining the throngs of teenagers searching for answers. How did they get here? Why were they trapped? And, most pressing of all, how would they survive in this desolate wasteland? As the boy joined the desperate search for survival, he realized that he was not alone in his quest for answers. Together, they would have to rely on each other, trust each other, and fight to stay alive in a harsh environment that seemed determined to kill them.Complete
The weeping of the guilty
Imagine living in a world with a separate country where everyone is discriminated against the rest of the world for having the perfect mentality of a psycho due to chemicals exposed and experimented on far back into the bloodline as life itself? Unlike other countries these kids are forced to be contestants in a simulation game each sorted into a sect, determination, intellect, confidence, judgment and empathy whereas those from everywhere else could buy their way out or refuse, How do you think this story will end up? a story i wrote inspired by multiple dystopian stories such as, maze runner, the hunger games, divergent and even squid games where within the story my friends are the cast.
Blades and Secrets
Nicole Rivers was raised in a world where emotions were weaknesses to be cut out. Trained from her teenage years by a secret syndicate known as The Veil, she became one of their most efficient assassins - silent, ruthless, and invisible. She never questioned an order, never hesitated. Her reputation was built on precision and detachment.But even perfect killers crave something human - something real. She just never thought it would come in the form of a spy sent to stop her. Ava Carter lived in the realm of deception. A top agent for the Intelligence Bureau, she was trained to manipulate, seduce, and extract secrets without leaving a trace. Her missions were clean, her emotions calculated - until Nicole appeared on her radar. Their first encounter was chaos: bullets, smoke, and a single shared look that neither could shake. What began as a mission turned into a collision - two women on opposite sides, bound by orders but drawn by something neither could explain. Nicole was supposed to kill Ava. Ava was supposed to capture Nicole. Instead, they found themselves working together when both agencies turned against them after a botched operation that revealed truths neither was meant to uncover. Now fugitives, they move through cities under false names - partners in survival, but more than that in the spaces between. There's a tension in every glance, a heartbeat in every argument, a spark every time their hands brush while cleaning their weapons or patching each other's wounds. Nicole tells herself she can't afford to care. Ava swears she won't fall for someone who kills for a living. But in a world built on lies, the only thing that feels real is each other - and that's what makes it dangerous. Because love, for people like them, isn't salvation. It's a weakness that could get them both killed.

No Saints In District Nine
In a future where the elite trade lives like currency and loyalty is enforced through collars and control, survival isn't a right-it's a contract. Miku and Clara were just sixteen when they escaped a death maze with nothing but blood in their mouths and hope in their lungs. They thought that meant forever. It wasn't. Clara vanished. Word said she was dead. Traded. Sold. Miku learned to stop trusting word. Three years later, Miku is no longer the girl Clara kissed in the ruins. She's a weapon now. Hardened. Trained. Built for vengeance. The mission is simple: locate the missing. Extract, if alive. Eliminate, if not. Until she finds Clara again-alive, changed, and wearing the collar of the enemy. Torn between orders and memory, between the girl she once knew and the one the world turned Clara into, Miku has to make a choice: finish the mission... or finish what they started. No heroes. No safe endings. Just two broken girls caught in a system that doesn't care if they live or burn.Complete
I feel your hands in mine
So this is a spinoff to a book I'm writing. Because I'm still in school I won't be able to publish the book, so this might be confusing but I will explain it very shortly here: What you need to know about this world is that there are demonic creatures called the nightimps invading the human world since centurys. Because of that angelic creatures created new humans called the lightslayers to protect the normal humans. They gifted them with fantastical powers. They are called Lightslayers and live in the otherside (kinda like a diffrent dimension on earth) where humans and nightimps can't enter. They get their powers at a ceremonie (most times when they age14. !!This story is about Alex Heart and Clio Graves and how they find out about one of the ugliest secrets of the council (the council are the rulers of the otherside). The secret: Damian Grumpy. And Alex feels stronger about Damian then he should.!! You should probably also know about the shadowslayers. They are roge lightslayers and are led by Kennie Freebird a crazy psycho who wants hell for the human world. !!This is a queer love story so if you don't like it, don't read it. I hope you'll enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it. (Also I have dyslexia so bare with me here!)!!
