There are four types of powers that the gifted possess. Mind-readers, warpers, and shield-wielders are all accepted and fairly common forms of gifts. Shadow-walkers are less common, and terribly frightening. But nobody knows what she is, and to be unknown and other can be dangerous.

Unable to use her voice to scream, Josephine Rivers witnesses the brutal murder of her family at a young age, and knowing she was the cause makes it that much more traumatizing. Years later, she moves from city to city, never staying in one place for long, seeking retribution for their deaths and for any leads on the group of people intent on finding her and using her untapped power for their evil purposes.

Nobody can ever know Josie's secret. Enough loved ones have been taken from her, and she will never lose control again. To the outside world, she appears "giftless" and that's just how she likes it. But she has the distinct feeling she is being followed, and she intends to find out why.

Killian Barlow made a mistake. He got involved with the wrong crowd, and now he's paying for it. Given the impossible task of finding a girl with strange powers with only a dead-end lead for guidance, Killian seeks her out. Capturing her and bringing her back to the Resistance is not optional, otherwise he will never be a free man again.

Despite their strong hatred of one another, Josie and Killian forge an unlikely partnership, hatching a plan to infiltrate this so-called "Resistance" with the intention of bringing it to its knees. Josie will have to come to grips with her strange powers sooner or later, because not only is her life at risk, but her heart as well.

Senseless is a full-length, new adult enemies-to-lovers, dual perspective story set in a fantasy land full of power, intrigue, and blood.

10 years into the future four sisters discover they have unusual super powers. While reading the journals of their recently deceased mother she supernaturally speaks to them from the past. (Mary died suddenly due to a newly released hyper-virus by The Powers That Be.) The young women discover not only had their mother been quenching their powers since they were babies but through her journals is now urging them to to do the exact opposite. "Rise up! *You were born for such a time as this." However the recent abandonment by their mother in death and their father in grief has left them struggling as they've been thrust into adulthood overnight. The world desperately needs them. Will they stop bickering and worrying about boys, fashion and proms long enough to save the day? *Esther 4:4 Gifts: Baby in the corner Beth (19) has the ability to draw her heart's desires. She thinks it's only while using her big box of 64 crayons. She doesn't realize the power is in her mind's eye and not her writing implements. Jo (20) can teleport. Of course she doesn't always stick her landings. At first her landings are as messy as is her life. She's lost her mother, her family home, her faith and now thinks she may be losing her mind. Supercilious self-absorbed Amy (17) has the uncanny ability to get others to do what she wants. She says, ever so sweetly, "I'd prefer..." Dad always called it "wrapping others around her little finger syndrome." If she wanted she could ask a perfect stranger to hand over his car keys and he'd have to oblige. The oldest sister Meg (21) has dreams and visions about the world's near future. She's also very intuitive. Perhaps if she were better at seeing her own future maybe her personal life wouldn't be in shambles?

*Complete* Copper's life is a carefully crafted illusion-onscreen, she shares a passionate romance with her co-star, a relationship her fans obsess over. Offscreen, her real love life is a mess. Fresh off a brutal breakup and desperate for guidance, she does something reckless-she holds a séance, not to summon spirits but the god of love himself. To her shock, Cupid answers. But the winged god isn't the chubby cherub of legend-he's sharp-witted, dangerously charming, and hell-bent on fixing her romantic misfortunes. As Cupid sets Copper on a whirlwind journey to find true love, the lines between myth and reality blur. Because somewhere between staged passion and genuine heartache, the god of love is breaking the one rule he never intended to-falling for her himself. With fate, fandoms, and forbidden feelings at play, Copper must decide if love is just another illusion... or if some hearts are worth the risk. (Based off Prompt 30 o ONC: In a love Triangle where Cupid himself becomes the third wheel, who will be left standing when Love faces its own matchmaker?) *Please, no. I use a world of soft 'corn' to portray situations not commonly found in that setting. I'm not trying to portray the soft corn or any other industry. I use phrases that aren't seen (I assume) in this industry or any other industry. In other words, it's just a work of fiction. ***Warning: Possible RH romance. I'm not sure yet, but there will at least appear to be a lot of love interests.***

WHEN SHE FALLS by cglipper

Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

Featured on @Romance in the Young Love reading list. ❤️ Genre: Dark Romance/New Adult Unable to change her imperfectly plotted storyline, Michelle just couldn't when it was always the synonyms of the words that changed when she tried, but never the plot twists. The sadistic author like the clock hands, wrote fate with the strokes of the ticks, leaving no room for a change. And somehow, she was that book, tossed in a corner of a bookshelf, on which dust settled with time as a reminder of her unaccompanied presence. The frayed ends of the pages wore out from each time, a reader would come, and read whatever appealed to them, letting her go after the bad plotline of her first - past - chapters. That was where that bookmark stuck, somewhere midway between the chapters, mistaken as the end of the story. It paralysed her into a moment in time, with her unturned pages not letting her move on to the next, that was unless someone else did. And then he came. A reader who probably couldn't change the stroke of the pen of time, as much as she couldn't as a character in her story. But he didn't just read her either. From drawing stars on footnotes, and hearts as annotations on the margins, he highlighted and savoured her moments as if he didn't want to let go of them, just yet. He read and reread her over and over until he had memorised her enough. And somehow, she was someone's favourite book. The feelings of falling for each other happened to break into an artwork of mosaic in the end. But when broken puzzles finally fit each other, the formed picture doesn't always come off as expected. Disclaimer: This story contains mature themes and suicidal thoughts/actions, drug abuse, and mental disorders, that might be triggering for some readers, therefore reader discretion is advised. This book is affiliated with my poems, Our Elegies and Mismatch Flame.

"What's wrong with you? You seem like you just got your heart broken by your girlfriend who is running away with a fifty-year-old man." If it is in any other situation, Cameron would have laugh but now he is in too much pain that he ignores her sarcasm. "I need your help," is all that he could muster. ••• Hazel Ryder used to be a person that was always for everyone when they need a listener, given that she is gifted with the ability to read people and is an empath. She could read people by staring into their eyes and even sometimes, by a touch while at the same time transfer emotions into them. But that was two years ago. Now she is this cold girl that everyone knows about but is afraid of, resulting in her being called 'witch', 'freak', 'weirdo' and all the names that goes along with it... But to Cameron's eyes, the new guy who had just moved there to finish his last year in Hillary High, he sees Hazel as a mystery. He is intrigued by her ability but scared at the same time. Cameron, with his charming smile and cheerful personality, hides some dark misery from his past and he is not about to let some mysterious so-called witch and her so-called ability to read people know about it. Until he accidentally grabbed her one day when she dropped something and she saw a vision. She ran away, of course, horrified by what she had just saw. He wants to know why, at the same time he wants to forget everything and just lives his life normally. Then one day his past comes haunting back at him and he could only think about one person in his mind to ask for help. So let's just say it is a surprise for Hazel when she finds Cameron at her doorstep, practically begging her to read him. This story tells about friendship, family, society, empathy and love... so hop right in.
