The City is a flawless place – it’s do what you want, when you want, yet there’s no crime and no inconvenience. They have beaches more sunny and clean than a Jamaican resort’s and mountains taller and more majestic than Mt. Everest. No one has ever even though of venturing into the unknown, otherwise known as The Land.
But Aria has never been anything like everyone else. From her dark hair in contrast to the sun bleached blondes, to her pale skin compared to the tanned faces of her friends, it’s obvious Aria doesn’t belong in The City. But she stays, acting like her fun-filled schedule is war.
Then she meets Storm. His attitude is like his name – wild, crazy and rebellious. Just like a raging hurricane, you only find peace in the eyes – his are the bright blue of most City residents.
Aria and Storm want to escape – and fast. Everyone in the City has their fate balancing on a thin piece of glass… and glass can shatter.
Even perfect worlds have their flaws.

Waking up in what appears to be a strange swamp, running a high fever and staring down the fangs of a wolf was pretty bad. Sad to say, it actually wasn't the worst way Ariana had ever woken up.

Ariana finds herself in a cold and dark world, where, other than her new furry and feathery friends, there seems to be nest to no animal life. What is this place, and why was she here?

Imperfect
"There are two things that separate us, perfection and imperfection..." What if a tribe was run by perfection? Where failure is no option. That one mistake could end a life. Positions are won by strengths and there are no such things as flaws. Take every mistake, tripping, falling, failing, and erase it all. In this world, there's perfection. Nothing bad ever happens - after all, perfection means flawless. Being perfect is the only way to live and falling short of that expectation is unforgivable. That is Citrus' world. There's no betrayal, no heartache, no mistakes, no sickness, no deaths, and no unnecessary battles that force her to choose sides. All that's waiting for her is the bright sun, shining its golden beams onto her. Home to all perfect cats: the Tribe of Shining Suns. A shining, dark world where the perfect roam. But what happens to those who don't shine? As long as there is a sun, there are always shadows. Citrus has always thought of herself as a proud cat and wrinkles her nose at the sound of Imperfects; cats that suffer and starve in the shadows. Those cats stumble and fail yet try to spread their seeds in fresh soil, lingering around the world like an ongoing sickness. These disgraceful beings continue to rise no matter how much the sun burns them, stirring chaos in her perfect world. Like any infection, she knows her life will be better when the disgusting ticks are out of her fur. All she has to do is slaughter her way through in order to achieve perfection, but fighting this disease may risk her own life and worst of all - imperfection.

Hello Cruel World
This story might seem cliché as hell when you first start reading, but I promise you it's not that bad. This story is centred around the lives of 4 girls. Aria. The cheeky delinquent who is impossible to not notice unless you are colour blind. Angela. Also known as the 'Angel' and 'a relentless peacekeeper'. Meg. The quiet one with a short temper, she burns through books at the speed of light. And last but definitely not the least. Arabella. No one really knows what category she falls under, she's created one for her and just her. I don't know why I wrote this book, maybe it was to honour the hardships of these teenage girls, maybe I was just bored. I know one thing for sure, you are definitely going to enjoy it.

BeastKeeper
In a kingdom shaped by gods and ruled by elemental power, one girl was never meant to survive. Ten years ago, a shadow creature slipped through a weakened Veil and slaughtered Aria's family-wiping out an entire Beastkeeper bloodline. Or so the kingdom believes. Aria was found unconscious on the riverbank, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. With only basic magic and a nightmare she can't shake, she's spent years preparing for a future that never quite felt like hers. But grief has a way of breaking things open. As the Sorting Ceremony looms, the pressure to prove herself builds-until her control finally shatters. What follows is a flooded hall, a glowing mark burned into her back, and a truth no one is prepared to face. Because the mark belongs to a Beastkeeper. And those were only stories. Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible. Because the Veil is thinning again. And this time, the shadows aren't waiting at the edge.

DISCONTINUED
Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right? ~~~ Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest. They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect. The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.Complete

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Complete
