Willow was born into silence. Miles was born into fire.
She obeyed. He burned.
Neither asked to be made.
Inside the same body, two souls war for breath-Willow, a girl trained to vanish beneath pain and obedience, and Miles, a boy carved from what was left behind. She is the quiet. He is the scream. Together, they wear a name soaked in blood and carry the weight of a legacy they never chose.
There's no safety in the body when it's never really been yours.
No peace when the past is stitched into your skin.
No healing when your only way out is through fury.
The Skin I Can't Escape is a brutal psychological horror about control, survival, and the monsters that raise us-and what happens when we become them. This is not a redemption story.
It's a reckoning.

OBSESSION'S DESIGN
One look was all it took. Luna never noticed the man watching her from the shadows of that hospital corridor-but he saw everything. The way she smiled at the nurse, the fear in her eyes when she entered the exam room, the soft kindness in her voice. In that moment, he decided: she would be his. But Luna's world crumbled when the results came back. A rare, life-threatening condition. One chance of survival-a bone marrow transplant from a donor who refused to help. Desperate, Luna searched for answers, unaware that every road led back to him. The illness. The rejection. Even the donor file "accidentally" left behind. All of it was his design. Because he didn't want to save her. He wanted to own her. As Luna fights to survive, she discovers the truth: she isn't dying. She was never sick. And the only thing growing inside her... are his children. She thought she needed a cure. What she really needs-is to escape. ---Complete
Clique Crash Out
12 kids. 12 untold stories. 12 unspoken traumas. Abandoned in the middle of the forest, will these kids uncover the darkest parts of themselves they swore to hide forever? Will they shove their secrets even farther down into themselves? Or will they find the courage to share, but not the chance? This story is about healing wounds. Metaphorically, and literally. With a masked attacker in the woods, some wounds will need to be healed. Cmon, go meet the first kid. Miles is a tough nut to crack, but you should try to get to know him. You should try and get to know ALL of them. UPDATES EVERY MON, WED, FRI, AND SUN TRIGGER WARNINGS With any good book about trauma, comes a list of trigger warnings. This book touches on physical, mental, and verbal abuse from friends, family, and guardians. As well as sexual assault and harassment (But don't worry, it's fade to black), has extreme depictions of self harm and suicidal thoughts, has scenes and descriptions of a public shooter, eating disorders, and lastly, racism/classism. The list may be long, but it IS the point of the book to touch on all of these topics. I hope you enjoy.
Even the Broken Bloom
"Sometimes the heaviest battles are the ones no one else can see." Hani has always been the quiet girl-polite, present, and perfectly okay on the outside. But behind her tired eyes is a storm she's fought alone for years. Diagnosed with double depression, Hani's world begins to unravel as her treatment pulls her deeper into the very pain she tried to bury. When she's admitted to a mental health facility, healing is the last thing she expects. There, she meets others like her-people carrying different versions of the same weight. Through broken conversations, soft friendships, and a pink notebook filled with strawberry doodles, Hani starts to see the raw and unfiltered truth: that depression doesn't have just one face, one story, or one ending. This is a story of invisible scars, misunderstood pain, and the quiet strength it takes to simply exist. Based on real experiences. Not a love story. A life story.Complete

The Shattered One

Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.

❝𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾❞
When two parents in Russia begin to worry about their quiet son, they tell themselves it is nothing. Boys speak late sometimes. Some children are simply shy. But in the late 1940s, silence feels heavier than it should. Though he was not quiet by choice, perhaps it was safer that way. In a time when neighbors listened through walls and governments listened through wires, many preferred silence over sound. So when they hear of a man, a "miracle doctor," they call him one who specializes in children who are "lacking," and they allow themselves hope. Five months later, hope returned, with a black case delivered to their door. It is filled with money. Their son is gone And on top rests a single note. "Thank you."
