Soul's pallet by angelinatrevino471

Soul's Palette is a gripping, emotionally charged story about healing, identity, and the people who either lift us up or hold us back. Ren has always been different-he can see the true nature of people's souls, a gift that has made him both admired and misunderstood. Known for helping others find peace, he buries his own pain beneath the weight of everyone else's struggles. But when he meets someone with a shattered soul, something shifts. For the first time, Ren finds himself drawn into a connection that challenges everything he thought he knew about love, trust, and his own ability to heal. As Ren begins to fall for the person he's trying to save, an old friend's jealousy threatens to unravel everything. Nikitas, the one person who has always been by his side, refuses to be left behind. His resentment forces Ren to confront his past-memories of a family that shamed him for who he is, a society that doubted him for his race, and a love he was never allowed to claim. As their friendship fractures, Ren must decide: will he continue carrying the burdens of others, or will he finally face the pain he's spent years avoiding? Blending themes of trauma, resilience, and the illusion of healing, Soul's Palette is a deeply introspective journey about what it means to grow beyond pain. With vivid storytelling and anime-inspired emotional depth, this book explores the duality of influence-the people who help us heal and those who hold us back. In the end, true healing isn't about erasing the past but learning how to move forward with the right people by your side.

Pappus and Sonder by LukePMoore

A first-person erotica romance novel. Early in the story, the narrator Luke mulls, Memory tattoos our yearnings under our skin. From there, they will ripple back. The text is layered like the skeins of paint through Jackson Pollock's masterpiece, Lavender Mist. It spreads wide through friendship, love and romance; and then converges as a unity of thought in a bedroom. So as the text unfolds memory in a non-chronological way, recalling key life incidents of selfishness, lost opportunities, and passion, these, in turn, trigger a memory of other life incidents. Yet, the tangents all hold because they are framed within a more significant memory frame. So, no incident is left behind; they keep building and informing the reveals when they occur. The pivotal point where the reader goes, ah, I knew this because it was always there. Bubbling memories, blue and uplifting echo through the text in places, names, colours, objects, plays on words, and metaphors, already enriching the text read in previous scenes. The adult scenes sizzle because they have a passion context within current or past yearning. Enjoy the sexual complexities of the characters as pleasure ignited by pleasures ignition is a pleasure for two or three! The novel's themes include friendship, passion, selfishness, contrition, resilience, cheating and love, all unfolded on a splattered action painting canvas of our, at times, messy lives where the world and its tragedies can also invade unannounced. The text will reward the booklover who hovers in and recalls previous nuances of the text, like their own recall of the sweetest friendship, love and romance moments in their lives.

A rivalry between his past and present unfolds, as he collides with the newcomer who ignites a spark within. This newcomer threatens to challenge the very foundations of his carefully constructed world. Roselyn Williams, the bright and stunning youngest daughter of the Williams' appears to have it all- wealth, loving family, intelligence and grace. Beneath her polished exterior, lies a hidden pain she's carefully suppressed, refusing to let it define her. With years of being hidden away from the public eye by her parents as a form of protection, she has grown accustomed to a simple life, until she crosses paths with Nathan Crooks, Stanford Hills High's most feared student. When Roselyn and Nathan collide, their different worlds ignite a spark. Through a maze of secrets and unresolved emotions, fueled by mutual animosity, the truth begins to unravel and masks torn apart. Will they find solace in each other, or will the shadows of their pasts tear them apart? This is a world where a tale of love, deception, and self-discovery, is explored. *Warning* No part of my book should be taken or used without my permission.
