The Guardian by that_shy_giirl

*Sequel to Destined Assassin* Rosalie Wilde is back and better than ever. Training is intense and she's as badass as they come. With everything finally out in the open, she can finally focus and finish the mission she started. Or she'd hoped. But with the her friends watching her every move and insisting on her being part of the ancient prophecy, Rose can't escape. Why are they so persistent? Are they hiding something? Maybe the prophecy is a lot more important than she originally thought. Maybe there are more secrets left to uncover.

A FUTURE WITH YOU by JustLikeWriting777

*******NEW******** He'd do anything. He'd do anything to escape from the dreaded place. To meet his father who never came back for him... So when Harry get's the opportunity, he and his friends do not hesitate. But that means he'd have to trust a man, who claims to be his father's... 'someone'. Harry, trusting him, goes on a journey to find the truth. The answer. But what he doesn't know... is that he is the Answer.

Silent Partner by madamejamjam

My world is four walls and a firewall. The name's Elias Vance. I hunt monsters, the kind in three-piece suits who break lives with keystrokes. I do it all from the one place I'm safe: my apartment. I don't do partners. I don't do outside. Not since my family was taken from me. Then he blew my door off its hinges. He calls himself Leo. A thief, all sharp grins and sharper reflexes, bleeding out on my pristine floor. He shoved a data-key into my hand, babbling about a shadowy syndicate called Janus and a hit on his life. He said he was sorry. He said they were coming for me, too. I didn't believe him. Until the professional cleaners showed up and turned my safe house into a warzone. Now, we're stuck with each other. The agoraphobic numbers-whisperer and the adrenaline-junkie thief. He thinks I'm a coward. I think he's a liability. But as we tear into Janus, we find something worse than stolen art or laundered cash. We find a project named "Chimera." And a chilling truth: the tragedy that broke me and the murder that forged him weren't accidents. They were acquisitions. They thought they were hunting us. They were wrong. We're the ghosts they created, and we're coming for our revenge. Even if trusting each other is the most dangerous heist of all. Two broken men. One shared enemy. No way out.

The Croatoan Calling by Ai1220

It started as a story. The kind you chase for headlines. The kind you don't expect to live. When a string of disappearances brings journalist-in-training Lyra to a quiet, off-the-map town, she thinks it's just another assignment. A historical rabbit hole. A forgotten legend. Then she meets him-Thane. Then she meets him-Keiran. And suddenly, the line between myth and memory starts to unravel. Secrets buried in blood. A name echoing through time: Croatoan. And a girl who was never just a girl. Lyra's not here to write the story. She is the story. If you're into cursed bloodlines, morally gray heirs, enemies who might be something more, and a mystery that spirals into something much bigger than anyone expected... Start reading here.
