Fault Line [Completed] by MrsAdriaGreenleaf

In the first installment of the Fault Line Trilogy, Jane Carter wanted nothing more than for her two sisters to grow up safe. But when her father doesn't return home one day, her entire life is way out of proportions. Her mother began to abuse her, and threatened the safety of Jane's sisters. After years of suffering to keep her sisters healthy, Jane acts out and murders her mother. Now Jane begins her life of being a runaway criminal. She now realizes the consequences of what she has done and is forced to leave her sisters at her aunt's house alone. Though Jane's mother pushed her to the edge of the line and further, the fifteen year old still feels as if it's her fault. Running away from her terrible deed, she learns of betrayal, death, forgiveness, and what it takes to survive in the criminal world. She'll meet the one who'll save her, a foe from the past, and even face the death of herself. With her mother's death haunting her every move, Jane's whole world is falling apart, and she can't do anything except run. As one had said: "The guilty shall rest under pain of death;" will that also mean Jane? Or will she have to suffer the deaths of her loved ones . . . alone? Jane doesn't know who to trust and whether she was pushed past her fault line.

Dark Oz by roadkingrider

Sixteen year old Dorothy Gale was a foul-mouthed, angry young woman who struggled with depression, self-mutilation, and thoughts of suicide. Her darkness stemmed from finding her alcoholic mother dead one evening, forcing her to move to her uncle's farm in southern Kansas after learning that her biological father wanted nothing to do with her. She began smoking, cutting, and blowing-off her schoolwork, while dreaming of being anywhere but Kansas. But just when she didn't think her world could get any darker, she suddenly found herself in the clutches of a rapist, and as she tried to fight off her attacker, the storm that had been brewing around her began escalating to tornadic proportions. She was whisked away by the relentless winds, and when she awoke she found herself in a strange forest, soon discovering that as much as she hated Kansas, there were places that were much, much worse.

The Devil's Daughter (Devil's Right Hand MC #4) by Mack_2024

Chrissy Martinez is lost, but not the kind of lost that a GPS will fix. She's the kind of lost that takes years of therapy or a trip to one of those spiritual retreats to fix. At 19, she had no idea what her place would be in the world, but she could manage. With her mama and sister by her side, she kept her head down and worked a shitty job to hold the family together. That is, until her whole life came crashing down when her mother died and she lost the safeguard of her home in the same week. Wandering lost in a world without her shepherd, she knows her snarky attitude or quick wit cannot save her from this, she needs a map. And maybe, just maybe, she finds the very map she needs while cleaning out her mother's closet. Maybe, that map is in the form of a birth certificate. ---------- Skillet Lawson is the club goofball. His reputation for inappropriate comments and deadly sarcasm make him a staple in the Franklin chapter of The Devil's Right Hand MC. To some, his child-like banter and carefree nature may seem immature, but to Skillet, this is the epitome of maturity. Nothing is more mature than seeing all the shit the world has to offer and sticking your middle finger up at it. His life is pretty damn good now. He's got everything he could ever want. But what happens when the mysterious girl with curly hair and a bag full of secrets catches his eye? Now, the man who never takes anything seriously develops serious feelings for the beauty with a secret identity, even though he knows he shouldn't. Can Skillet resist the gorgeous forbidden fruit? Or will he fall under the spell of the devil's daughter? ------ Disclaimer: This is the fourth book in my Devil's Right Hand Series. While I recommend reading these books in order, this can be read as a stand-alone.
