The Monolith - Part One
On his way to prepare his business for an important opening ceremony, Alex Vance is overwhelmed by a bright light shining from a crystalline tower, a building he swears he's never seen before. But no one in his life agrees with him, some saying it's been there for years, some saying it was built recently, some saying it can't possibly matter. The one constant reaction from everyone that Alex finds is not what anyone knows, but that no one wants to know. This aversion to his curiosity fuels Alex's search until it becomes an obsession. He becomes certain that the building holds secrets, secrets of its own, and, perhaps, secrets about Alex himself. But will he uncover any secrets at all? Or will he lose everything he's built as his obsession spirals? Or, worse-will he do both?Complete

Avery Fane. The sister everybody forgot about. The sister no one even knew existed. What will the four horsemen do when she comes into Rika's life and ruin their plans? Will they make her theirs? Avery acts well. She has her whole life. What if this is all it is? An act. These characters have not been created by me, nor the story. Penelope Douglas wrote the devil's night series. This will be a fanfiction about Damon Torrance and Will Grayson. I highly recommend reading corrupt before this. And hideaway if you read Hardship (Falling #2).Complete

Navigating teenage life is hard enough-- an older brother who doesn't have his life together, parents that never seem to be around the house, adventuring with the BEST friend in the world, meeting the cute boy who just moved in down the street --all while trying to be "normal." For Eva May, normality in this day to day life is anything but possible. Eva was born with a curse, or as the world would see it (if they even knew), a gift. Above the head of everyone she sees, she can see a countdown. A clock ticking down the years, days, hours, minutes, seconds until they die. As Eva interacts with people and sees people interact with each other, she can watch the rhythm of their clocks slow or quicken depending on what is going on. A day can turn sour when she sees a clock with only a few hours left, or can turn into a celebration when she slows or stops the ticking of someone's timer. In "expired," Eva meets Clay Walker, the typical boy next door who loves his dad, bikes, and adventures with no direction. As Eva gets to know Clay, she notices something is a bit off with his clock: the more she befriends him, the faster it goes. How can Eva try and help Clay, and what will happen as their relationship develops and his time starts ticking down? Find out in Brianna M. Cruz's teen romance novel, "expired."Complete
The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway
Beneath Victorian London's smog-choked skies, where time bleeds and secrets fester, reclusive inventor Sir Arthur Holloway vanished in 1875. Officially a suicide, rumors whisper of a monstrous machine beneath his manor-the Black Fog, a sentient entity feeding on memories and warping time. His heir, Lady Eleanor, returns to bury his legacy, but the decaying Holloway Manor holds horrors: an encrypted journal of impossible equations, whispers of a forgotten twin sister, and a labyrinthine engine merging man and machine. As the Fog thickens, Eleanor confronts a doppelgänger with her face and her father's consciousness fused into the gears. To stop the cult Obsidian Hand from weaponizing time, she must decide: destroy her father's creation, erasing herself and her sister's ghost, or become the Fog's new host. This gothic-steampunk thriller weaves a villain of living memory, a labyrinth breathing with temporal paradoxes, and women defying erasure in a society that fears their brilliance. The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway- Where every tick is a lie, and every soul a cog in the machine.Complete
