Heather is a 23-year-old New Yorker stuck in a bumpy rut in life. Between her overbearing boss in an unsatisfying corporate job and a sense of romantic failure after the loss of true love from self-sabotage, Heather has virtually given up on happiness. When her neighbor entices her with a new up-and-coming drug that promises vibrant, lucid dreaming, Heather thinks she has found an easy, chemical relief from her day-to-day existence. What starts off as innocent dreaming of the perfect life quickly shifts into the realm of the supernatural. Taking ever-increasing doses of this unknown substance, Heather forces herself deeper into her dreamscape, trying to escape her woes of reality. When she becomes imprisoned within her mind, she is guided by her conscience to the realization that to successfully shed her mental chains of confinement, Heather will have to battle all the internal demons that have been created from her external trauma, including herself.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

Only a person can help Liryl shedding light on this mystery - a former novice of Eris, who now lives in the far away city of Fys Espyr. Albeit reluctantly, the young girl thus embarks on a journey, together with her lifelong friend Sanya, in order to uncover the meaning of these visions. However, as the journey brings her deeper into the land of Espyria, Liryl slowly awakens to a much harsher reality than what she witnessed in her dreams.
