Nyctophilia (n.) -love of darkness or night. finding relaxation or comfort in the darkness --- Life isn't always easy. Sure there's some ups, but there's also downs. My life went downhill real fast the day I lost my voice. The day I stopped talking to any human being. The day that all of it changed the entire way around.

Until he came and changed everything for the best without even knowing it. --- Nyctophilia Heather Walker used to be a ray of sunshine. The kind of person who put a smile on your face with one single glance. Surely, her life was too perfect to be real. Everything got ruined that one night.

Tall, muscular, extremely handsome, but mostly scary. His glare could kill someone easily. He could snap your bone in two without even trying. He is the guy your parents warned you about. Nonetheless, everyone has a reason to their actions, right? No one really knows why he's so cold and mysterious... until she comes in the decor. Ah, will the big bad guy be able to resist to sweet Nyctophilia or will he be whipped so easily no one would believe he really is terrifying? --- ⚠️TW⚠️ This book can contain really sensitive subjects such as self-harm, rape, self-sabotage, eating disorder, depressed thoughts, strong languages and such.

Vanishing Point by Sisjsisjsisjfifb

Isaac has always felt like something's been missing. In the midst of his quiet, ordinary life, a strange presence keeps him company-someone he calls Maya. At first, she feels like the only real thing in his fractured world, a comforting voice guiding him through every hardship. But as Isaac begins to unravel the mysteries of his past, something unsettling starts to emerge. The world around him doesn't behave as it should. Conversations don't make sense, people act strangely, and time seems to stretch and bend in ways that don't fit. Isaac is left wondering: What's real? As the boundaries between illusion and reality begin to blur, Isaac is confronted by a terrifying truth. He is not the person he thought he was. In fact, he might not be a person at all. Who created him? And why? In a descent into madness, Isaac must confront the chilling possibility that everything he's known is just a story-one that may be reaching its inevitable end.

Red Is The Color Of Desire by Ophelia_is_Knightly

"I'm assuming you're a pirate, am I correct?" She asked. His smirk turned into a full blown smile, he merely nodded his agreement. "Ah, I see. You're probably going to rape me senselessly and maybe keep me as your torrid sex slave? And then once you grow tired me, let me guess, you'll throw me overboard?" She said defiantly, though her heart was hammering in her chest. He burst out in laughter, his deep voice melodious to her virgin ears. "I do not intend to throw you overboard. Nor do I intend to rape you. I will have you willingly." She huffed, "Willingly?" He smiled, his eyes gleaming, seductive, "Willingly." -------------------------- Jewel Hugh was rebellious.

(Book 2 of Vanished) It's been four months since everyone over the age of fifteen vanished. As food becomes scarce, hunger sets in. People desperate to get even something that wasn't canned around there. Now the real danger has begun. One powerful snowstorm, unlike any storm you'd see in society. When touched by the snow, you get burned. If you inhale the wind, you will become ill with a deadly virus. To make matters worse, the electricity has completely gone out. With the stress of injuries and illnesses, death begins to take a huge toll on their population. It all seems to be the end of everything for them. However, there are unexpected dangers such as people or even actions that may change everything.

The Society by RyanWeldink

What would you do if one night changed everything? When everything you know is falling apart? The world is no longer the place you thought it was. When there's nowhere left to hide and survival demands choices you never thought you'd make. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival becomes the only thing that matters. Life forces you into a chilling game of survival where each decision could be his last. With trust shattered and danger lurking around every corner, you must hold onto who you are - or risk losing yourself entirely to the chaos. But the pain of loss is relentless, and the fear of being hunted drains you from the inside out. Life has become a constant game of looking over your shoulder, never feeling safe, and always wondering who's next. In a world where survival defines your worth, it's you against everyone else. Will you uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will you become another victim in a world that's gone insane? Reader discretion is advised: mature themes and dark twists await those who dare to continue.

I appreciated the fact that you not only focused on what it is like to have a mental illness, but also how mental illness can have a ripple effect on friends and family; and how the journey isn't always one of smooth sailing." - @CreativeBibliophile "Wow, this was written so exceptionally well.

BROKEN COURAGE (Broken Redemption Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.
