monster. To me loneliness is also an monster. As you may recall from your childhood fairytales, all monsters can be beaten by a noble hero. Our 'hero' is Oliver Kings, a classic example of a social outcast. An accident in his younger years caused his peers to distrust and even fear him at times. What will happen when he realized what a real monster feels like? What would your reaction be when you just realize that you are the monster that everyone fears?Would you be ready for the years of torment that followed? How would you over come the monster?
"I like to be alone. I like to walk home alone. I read and drink coffee in the company of myself. I even dance alone sometimes but I can't help noticing how happy couples look when they are together. How much a group of friends enjoys each others company. Even if I like being alone.. I don't fancy being lonely."

The Angriest Angel
Chase Madison had a tough childhood. Raised in a broken home and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, he was constantly in trouble, injured, and outcast. Life didn't get much better as an adult. Jailed, abandoned by family and friends, and fired from his job, Chase walks through life looking for the next bad thing to happen. But then he meets the Caelans. They look like and act like us, but they are not from this planet. They've lived here for years, posing as people of Earth, hiding in plain sight by using a mental ability called 'psy' to influence us-purely for the purpose of maintaining their secret identity. They have always been completely and utterly peaceful. Their planet had conquered and eradicated anger long ago. Something has suddenly changed, however, within the Caelan people here on Earth. After more than 50 years of peace, anger has infected some of them-like a sickness-forcing all 939 to be quarantined here. And when they meet Chase, they discover something even more disturbing-their psy does not work on him. His immunity to their power presents a serious security risk. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him-other than having ADHD. Could this unusual condition be responsible for such a serious breach of Caelan security? Join Chase on the adventure of his life as he makes wondrous discoveries, improbable friends, terrifying enemies, finds unexpected love, and begins to believe in himself-for the first time in his life.Complete

One day, though, while taking out the garbage, you end up finding a new group of friends, who need help to sort out a problem you're pretty sure could get you arrested.

Frustration
Alright I won't lie, this was inspired by my own frustration. I chose to focus it on a big dumb cowboy, instead of someone else that is big and dumb. (for legal reasons those nicknames are a joke). Does an innocent event like the adult prom turn into something more? Do two individuals seen as either enemies or just friends turn into something more? How long can one or both individuals last against their own sexual frustrations? Do you think you know who will cave first? Does anyone cave at all?Complete

Understanding a Storm
I despise socializing with a passion. It's a fact: I'm terrible at it. Like the useless person I am with everything else except for academics. It makes me wonder if there was ever such a time when I didn't suck at it so badly. Oh yeah, the time when I haven't met my good old friend, anxiety. Along with it's most honorable sidekick, depression. I hate talking- more than necessary. I can't stand being touched- even if it's just a friendly hug. I, Aisha Storm, in general, don't like people. Years have passed and I'm doing just fine. Alone. That's what I was. Until some guy who I will never admit I found attractive showed up in my life. His smile sends pleasant chills down my spine. The ocean blue color of his eyes capture my attention. His muscular frame emit power, yet he's so gentle I find myself caving into his touch. Most of all, he's capable of stripping the wall I brought up to shun me from civilization with little to no effort. ☆☆☆ Second Book from the Obsession series ☆☆☆ (As always, you are not required to read my other books to prepare yourself for this one. It can be read as it's own. And don't be an asshole who steals my ideas. Love you all <3)Complete
