Ivy Mendler's a normal teenage girl, with normal friends, normal interests, and normal crushes (although she won't admit it to herself). Her canines aren't THAT long, and her skin isn't THAT pale, but her eyes certainly are red. Despite this, she still leads a normal life, has a summer job, and has gotten used to the terrified stares. Ending up in the hospital one day because of herself is enough to make her realize that there's something wrong though. Ivy, along with Camden (her friend who she's definitely just friends with) decides to finally question things and realizes that she's not who she thinks she is. Can Ivy still lead her normal life, even after uncovering an Earth-shattering secret? I have to write a book for an English assignment and I'm severely behind, so I thought that putting it on here would give me more motivation. The good news is that I'm forced to finish it if I don't want to end with an F. English isn't my first language though, so keep your expectations low. Each chapter is around 10,000 words. Enjoy!Complete

The Main Character's Best Friend
❝"𝙄 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚... 𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙮." "𝙒𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙?" "𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮.

I'm not the "Chosen One" or whatever. That's all Cynthia, my best friend. One day she just sort of spawned powers and now she's always disappearing to do something heroic or whatever and is constantly caught up in some sort of drama. So, yeah, if you want to read something interesting or exciting, you should probably read a book where the main character is... well, the main character. But if a story with not much of a plot, no fourth wall and trashy humor sounds like your thing, then buckle up, motherhuggers, cuz this book sounds like it was written by someone on crack :'D ~•~🦸~•~ ★𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒓★ 𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏★ 𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆★ ~•~🦹~•~ »nothing spicy obv🌶️ »no cussing🤬 »bad jokes🥲 »ur mom👁️👄👁️ »dedicated to Ryan Reynolds👑 ~•~★~•~ Thanks for reading! ┌(・。・)┘♪Complete

Edison
Fourteen-year-old Edison Green may be a genius, but he doesn't have a clue about what to do on his first day of high school. After being homeschooled until age 9 and then starting college courses, Edison doesn't have any experience with kids his own age. His parents believe he has a rare gift and they don't want him to be distracted by the menial problems of teenagers; instead, they want him to focus on his research project, which could be the next big breakthrough in physics. Edison loves physics more than anything, but loneliness and curiosity about life outside his world cause him to rebel. He goes on strike, refusing to continue his studies until his parents agree to let him go to high school for one year. Edison isn't worried about high school being hard--after all, he's been invited to join Mensa International--an exclusive club for the top 2% of the world's smartest people. But he finds out quickly that it takes more than a high IQ to traverse the social events and activities at Southton High School. During an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular athlete, Edison meets Christina Blakely, who saves him from getting pummeled on his first day of school. She is the exact opposite of him in every way. Christina is a soccer phenom who doesn't have time to be friends with lowly freshmen. She's got problems of her own, including a low GPA, which could prevent her from getting a college scholarship. Can Christina achieve the impossible-the highest GPA she's ever had--and earn her scholarship? And can Edison prove to his parents and everyone else-including Ashley Murray, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen-that he can do more than solve difficult math problems? Can he really change the world with his research project, win Ashley's heart and survive high school?Complete

Inevitable Ascension
***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean.
