How do you find your soul when so many want to snuff it out?

When newly discovered Gemini Jade Swift moves to live with her uncle, she enters a city poised on the edge of upheaval. Anti-Gemini sentiment is on the rise, reports of mysterious disappearances keep coming in, and the gangs seem more organised than ever. Soon, Jade's determination to stand up for her Gemini soul catapults her into criminal underworlds and political powerplays beyond her imagination, all while placing her in the reach of the mysterious amber-eyed girl that pursues her. 

Against a backdrop of social unrest, toxic politics, and familial strain, Jade rubs shoulders with both street rats and society's finest in her quest to rewrite popular opinion. She and her ragtag band of allies will need more than their individual skills to navigate a city where personal problems quickly unfold into public crises. 

Some fantasy violence, alcohol references, and references to grief throughout.

In a world ruled by ancient legacies, the Campbells and Thorntons have been at odds for generations, their rivalry seeping into every facet of their lives.

As tensions between the families escalate, the possibility of a divided country looms, and Cristine finds herself drawn to Trent Thornton-the one person she shouldn't trust. Their forbidden connection is more than just an act of rebellion; it's tied to the very heart of the feud that could tear their families apart. But there's more at play than political power struggles. The shadows and the hum are growing stronger, and they seem to be guiding Cristine toward a destiny she never imagined. As she struggles to piece together the truth behind her family's legacy and the source of her strange visions, Cristine must decide where her loyalties lie-within the safety of her family's control, or with the dangerous allure of Trent and the secrets that could endanger them all. In this high-stakes tale of love, betrayal, and supernatural forces, Cristine will discover that the line between loyalty and fate is thinner than she ever thought. -- Hi guys the reason I wanted to write this book and finish it recently was because although there are many fantastic books I've read on here, I don't think it's easy for me to find a story that's got romance with no smut AND also a plot. Like the plot is always the romance and smut and i honestly have always craved a book with an actual plot and then a romantic little bit of it. Of course there are many books out there like this, however, I feel like I've read them all so many times and there's nothing left for me to read. The goal is to finish the book by 01/11/2024 I truly hope this finds its target audience - others like me - and you guys enjoy it. Thank you , Mtchi
Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

37 parts Ongoing

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor has been dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter. Suddenly left abandoned, navigating the murky waters of life in care, it took a little while longer for Jade to find her place in the world. Now, finally, she has. At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. The question is... which way will she fall? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!)
