Hiraeth 
|heer-eyeth| (n.) 
a homesickness for a home you can't return to, or a home that never was.


As humans, each one of us yearns for something oh so deeply, and not all of us might get that. But if we ever do, we keep it so close to us, clinging on for dear life. 

Alan Adkins is not someone to waste his time mourning over things he does not have, for he believes in working for the things that really, practically matter in life. Thus, he is unaware that, deep down, his heart desires something precious . . . love. An unexpected encounter with Sandra Alinac in a bar, however, changes his perspective towards life as she mesmerizes him with her words. And they slowly fall for each other, devouring each moment of it. She becomes his hiraeth.

But, a true relationship needs honesty. And there might be something they both are hiding from each other. Something, that might as well end their relationship in the worst way one could imagine.

And amongst all this chaos is a woman, Lake Butterfield. Lake is the one who can change both these lives upside down. Lake is the one who can reveal these secrets when she wants, giving birth to a great epiphany in their lives. But amid all this, Lake is losing herself without even realising it.

Join the journey of these three, filled with love, drama, romance, mysteries and crime that will blow off your mind.

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul by ChristyM01
11 parts Ongoing Mature
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉

"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.
