a rebellious teenage girl is sent on a pilgrimage to atone for her sins.

Contains violence and dark content.

Excerpt (chapter 2):

Erin looks again at her plate. "It probably tastes way better than this crap." She throws her fork down. It hits the metal table with a loud clattering noise. "I can't believe I basically sold my soul in exchange for this."    
Gwen is taken aback, her eyes wide. "What do you mean, sold your soul? You didn't summon a demon or something, did you?" Her voice shivers a bit. "I knew you were an heretic, but that would be quite far, even for you!"       
Erin laughs. "No, not like that, Gwen. The church agreed to reinstate my food privileges and erase my rap sheet if I went on a pilgrimage tomorrow."    
"Oh," Gwen says. "That is great! Why aren't you happy?"       
"Are you kidding me, Gwen?" Erin yells. The students sitting two seats away from them look up at Gwen and Erin, and one of them shakes their head in disapproval.     
Erin leans forward towards Gwen and speaks more silently. "Do you know what happens to people who take the pilgrimage?"       
Gwen shrugs again. "No, I don't. Nobody does. You know the angels don't allow returned pilgrims to tell what happened. People have to keep it a secret."      
"Exactly," Erin replies. "Isn't that suspicious? If the pilgrimage was all sunshine and rainbows, the angels would want to spread the word. The reason we have to keep it a secret is because unspeakable things happen. I am sure of it."       
Gwen glares at her. "Are you trying to lose your food privileges again, Erin? If you lose them within the hour, that would be a new record."All Rights Reserved

Second Ave Series: Ac-Counting on You (WLW) by Sora-The-Runaway

This is book four of a novella series, mostly consisting of shorter stories of 50k-100k word count. Agoraphobic Gwen Murray was scarred in a freak accident in her youth that left her with burns on around twelve percent of her body and many years of ridiculing bullying from not only children, but adults alike. With a history as such, it's no surprise that she isn't very well adjusted to going outdoors. However, as fearful as she is to face the relentless torment once again, she hates feeling as if her life is on permanent standby. All she's ever desired is true happiness -- don't we all -- and with words of encouragement from not only her therapist, but her little brother as well, she is ready to take another step forward. Although, what she hadn't expected was the person who out of nowhere joined her stark journey. Bookstore and cafe owner Michal "Brook" Bluestone was raised mostly in Israel, though her parents desired a full life for her and moved them to join a bulk of their family in the US upon her coming out. Years later, she has two thriving businesses, a giant family only an hours drive away and a network of friends. There's only one thing missing from her life -- love -- and now more than ever, she is ready to find what she deems her "forever girl" with how well life is going. Still, after using dating apps and all encounters failing, she fears love may not be in the cards for her until a skittish woman walks into her cafe, forever changing her world. ⚠️Trigger Warning: This novel contains elements of agoraphobia and pervasive psychological trauma. ❤ Mature/Erotic Content ⚢ Lesbian Romance/Lit 📚 1st Draft Complete as of 07/03/2024. As of 06/25/2024 I am working on making this series into a possible webcomic as well, so for those of you who like GL, keep your eyes peeled for updates on my Instagram. Adaptation will have multiple stories with minor changes running congruent.

Shadow Thief by 8writerandreader8

She's a thief. Living in the slums of Paris Alicia or Ali is definitely ready to return back home but like everything else in her life that plan crumbles and she is left on a new planet - with only her new neighbour Andre for company. She's sarcastic, rude and a little bit moody so how will she manage when she might need to be nice to get any chance at getting home © copyright all rights reserved Each chapter is at least 1500 words but most likely more. I have spent a really long time writing and planning this book so I would appreciate it if no one copies my ideas. I am welcome to ideas and suggestions so feel free to comment or ask. -- Extract: Andre collapsed. 'Pathetic.' Tyke muttered dismissing his unconscious form. I was about to go and check on him when Tyke told me it was my turn. 'Your fight will be in this arena.' he pointed to the one next to Andre's crumpled body. I looked at Tyke letting a smirk evolve on my features and threw a cocky grin at Elra. I wouldn't beat her, but I would at least hit her. I could take a lot more than Andre, that's for sure. I sauntered over not allowing any hint of my nerves come through. Shoving them down so far I could barely feel them myself. Letting the bravado of street life back in, I entered the cage. Elra was oozing confidence so I gave it all back to her. Focus, Ali. Focus. She wouldn't see me cry.

Preview below! - He rolled his eyes and sat back down. "This is 'the History of Alvion and Beyond'," he said, flipping through the pages. "OK, and?" I asked. He stopped about halfway through the massive book. "Here." "What?" I whined. He pointed to a page titled 'Ekotians'. I leaned over to get a better look. "The book talks about what the native Ekotians were like," he explained. "Like how people used to say they were immortal." "OK?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. "That's just a theory." "Well what if they weren't wrong, but it was a little different," He said. It dawned on me. "Don't tell me you think I'm Ekotian."

Jonesing ✓ by Yairla

"Wanted to be bold." I blush while I avoid eye contact. "Devin needed to borrow clothes for gym." I stare at my bare legs. "I should've told her no." He shrugs, biting into his sub. "Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Clothes or attitude has nothing to do with it." I trace a circle on my thigh. "And a guy that believes otherwise is either a dick or a rapist." I smile. "Avery." "Ava." "Your brain works in wonderful ways." I get more comfortable and lean on his shoulder. "So you've said." I giggle. "I'm glad to share the same name as you." ~ A girl, a perfectionist, named Avery Jones has been in love with her childhood friend's brother for as long as she can remember. He's never noticed her, though, he doesn't really notice anyone. He's sort of an insouciant philanderer. They couldn't be any different, the only thing that connects them is their names. Oh, by the way, his name is also Avery Jones; no relation. As crazy as it might sound, it's true. Anyway, it isn't until she becomes his mentor that he finally sees her. But will this new circumstance spark a connection or show just how different they are?

Cherry Blossom Abyss by ToastyBunss4

I wait for him to look at me. "The fuck you staring at me for,bitch??" He snarls. I lean in quickly,pressing my lips to his. He freezes,eyes widening. Then he suddenly shoved me away,hard. I lost my balance and fell back. "Ew,the fuck you putting your girl germs on me for? Just because we're childhood friends doesn't mean I prefer your sushi over cock." "You kissed me last time and didn't wipe your lips!" He shrugs,looking forward. "That was different." I shove him,angrily. "Kiss me!" He narrows his eyes,shoving me back. "The fuck you raising your voice at??" I get in his face. "The only motherfucker here,you stupid or some shit?" He stares at me for a long time. Then ..."don't do that." "Do what?" I ask. "the attitude thing. Stop it." He looks forward again and I smile,smugly. "Why,am I intimidating?" I grin. "Intimidating?" He looks at me,thumping his cigarette. "Honey,you could never intimidate me." "Then why should I stop?" He leans in my face. "because when you get an attitude like that,it makes me want to fuck the shit out of you." He brushes past me without another word. ×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•× Vivian finally got into the college of her dreams,with attempting to ignore its weird condition. in attempts to find herself,she also ends up finding herself in more than just a love triangle. she isn't quite aware of her feelings yet,or why she was such an outcast before she became an adult,but she's determined to find true love among the multiple love choices that cross her mind daily. also attempting to find her meaning in life and why she was born with certain powers not all possess. from sneaking into a male boarding house,disguised as a male to being seduced by her childhood male best friends as well as falling for complete assholes,ghosts and even realizing she might be bisexual. she's in quite the pickle.

Scouts honour by RAZOR195

"You have fifty five minutes left," "I'm not going anywhere, I can't allow you to release that virus. Drew let's out a chuckle, "I'm not a murderer," Drew stops smiling for the first time and frowns, "I don't know what bullshit they've been feeding you amateurs about me but I'm not the bad guy," she shakes her head and huffs, "you are the bad guys, not me," "You expect me to believe that," Joel asks rhetorically. Drew smiles and shrugs, "no, but you have forty seven minutes left, I really don't want to kill you," "Then don't and let me bring you in," Drew let's out a laugh, "so they can torture me and lock me up in a metal cell where I'll live like an animal till I die?" "This is my case," "I know Joel, but they'll 'take it from here' the moment you bring me in and you'll never see me again," Joel frowns and realises Drew is right, they will take her away, "don't you deserve it?" Joel asks lifting her eyebrows. Drew smiles and nods slightly, "let's say I do; do you even know what I did?" Joel shakes her head. "What I did Joel; was find out I was the bad guy the whole time," Drew whispers harshly. Joel shakes her head, "you were helping people, bringing them in and..." "And what Joel? Killing them? Imprison them? What do you think they do with all those weapons?" Drew shakes her head, "I won't allow you to take this one; I can't, and I'll kill you if I have to," Joel sighs, "I really can't just abort the mission without a reason," Drew points at the bracelet on her wrist, "break that, they'll be here in ten minutes and you'll have an excuse to aborting the mission," Joel frowns, "a false alarm?" "No, you've been shot," just then Drew pulls the trigger hitting Joel in her chest missing her heart only by inches.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

A Pirate for the Dead Goddess (Legends of Rahasia Book 2) by FaeWhit

"Farzaneh..." I pull her to me, flinching when my sleeve rolls back, her eyes drawn to the markings. On my bare skin's a map revealing a different tattoo, one for every person I killed. I hate looking at the running tally of tattoos on my body. It reminds me of how many I've murdered. Reminds me I'm a human with a death goddess. My hakama, the color blue, blends into the folds of the red cloak around her, the effect like fire and ice. I bat my lashes, flex my muscles, all wiry from climbing the rigging when I get bored. "I'm just a boy." The look on her face is cruel. It reminds me why those chains are on her wrists. We're both cursed. Dark fantasy PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN with an LGBT+-ensemble *** Trans Captain Lucky Dice's enemies know him as a gambler, playing a game with a cursed set of dice that kills the losers instantly.
