Seventeen-year-old Raina Brandt has never fit in. A physical disability means she's bullied at school by popular kids like Hector, and only her two best friends, Jess and Sy, seem to understand her. But despite this, Raina thinks she's got life all figured out. Until, one day, a shopping trip for lip gloss turns into a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. Everyone around her seems to have developed weird magical powers. Well, everyone but her. Jess can appear anywhere, Hector can read minds- and Sy, well, Sy's gone missing. 

Raina would give anything for things to go back to the way they were and a mysterious and handsome stranger offers her just that, as long as she does something for him in return. But things aren't quite what they seem, especially when Raina discovers she's even more powerful than she could have ever imagined. 

Now, it's up to Raina to figure out how to exist in a new world of uncertainty and decide where her loyalties lie.  Hanging in the balance is the life of her friend and possibly the fate of magic itself.

Having no other choice, Misa is plunged into the dangerous world of witches in search of the most powerful and dangerous of them all. The task is deceptively easy. Find the witch and eliminate her. All Misa wants to do is fulfill her end of the bargain so she could finally be free. But things aren't always so simple.

His Last Song- "Ji'de Tas Anse" by DianDianSian
23 parts Complete Mature
A world once run by humans is now a cold, barren, and toxic wasteland filled with vicious, mutant, and flesh-eating animals; as a result of an unpredicted showering of meteors. The world population is unknown due to the complete shutdown of the media, but the number of inhabitants of the once populous African island, Hardane, has fallen to a number near zero. Two people, a famous Korean singer and a Japanese-African emerging artist, meet by chance as they embark on their separate journeys to traverse their new world. Song Byeong-ho starts his journey with the notion of finding somewhere calm to spend his last days, while Itsuki Uta-ﻃَﺎﺋِﺮ (taa'ir) starts his journey with the notion of finding his lost grandparents. Due to his somber past, Song is skeptical of Itsuki at first; but as their journeys progress, the new demands and horrors of their world pushes them closer. As Song and Itsuki traverse their new world together, they race against death and time. (This is a story of loss and finding a bit more than friendly love in the darkest of places.) - - Heads up! This book deals with parental neglect, parental trauma, mild system fake claiming, mentions of suicide, and much more. This book also dives into plurality; which is the experience of having multiple beings in one body. DID, OSDD, and a few other dissociative disorders fall under that label. DID and OSDD are formed due to intense trauma--and not what the outside perceived as intended trauma, it's what the individual(s) perceive as intense trauma. Plurality also encompasses much more than just dissociative disorders since this experience is not rare. !!Still being uploaded!!

"You say you love me, yet you try to rip me apart limb by limb. I may not break easily, but the way you keep wearing me out all the time - well - I might as well just be made of paper. That way you wouldn't have to try hard to break me. One tear with your fingers and that's it. I'd be done for. Too bad that's not going to happen." *** "I want a kiss." He leans in a little, just enough to touch my hair. "Did you dye your hair purple?" he smirks, his famous smirk. I smack his hand away and he steps back. "It looks nice." He says softly. It sounded genuine. Like, 'the Carter Daniels' was actually giving me a compliment. He laughs, knowing I didn't expect him to say that to me. "Thanks." I say softly. Then, I casually lean into him, so close I can feel his breath hitch and his heart race. "Do you still want that kiss?" I whisper, seductively. Carter is frozen in place. I guess he wasn't expecting me to tease him back. I wasn't either. Now, it's like my body and mind aren't the same. But, I had to admit, it was fun teasing him like this. *** On the surface Lila seems like your everyday teenager in her junior year of high school, but if you look a little deeper, you will see something dark and uncertain lingering in the depths of Lila's life. Lila has always gotten out of her conflicts with her shyness, whether it be with her 'friends' and their abuse or Kevin's (Lila's older brother) best friend, Carter and his constant tormenting. But, when she decides to finally fight back against the binds that trap her from freedom, will Lila cower under the fear of her 'friends' or will she finally find her voice and free herself from the darkness that never wants to leave her? Finding Her Voice focuses in on a teenage girl's life named Lila. Follow her story as she gets into rancid blood baths with her (sort of) friends, trades insults with her older brother's best friend, and takes advice from her smarter, younger brother.
