Attend opera concerts. Run a few errands. Enjoy a luxury apartment, wardrobe, and car, all expenses paid.

Sounds like a dream job, right? There's only one catch.

After nights of haunting musical messages and retrieving strange, pulsing items for her eccentric employer, Cleo unravels a conspiracy she definitely isn't getting paid enough to be involved in. As time goes on, she glimpses a fantastical realm of individuals that prefer to keep their powers a secret, and will do anything to remain unseen. Once unveiled, there is no going back to blissful ignorance.

It all started with a paycheck. But in the end, Cleo may be the one paying - with her life.

Custos Unicorium 1 ~Longe Aluid--Something Very Different~ by Springtime_Unicorn

Regina has just been chosen to be Keeper of a unicorn. There's only one problem...She can't see them! Make that two problems. She can't get out of it. Regina's tiny village shouldn't be well known. It's about the most avarage "out in the middle of a forest" town you could come by. The thatched houses number to about 75, and there are maybe that many families. Each of which needs a hunter to survive. Nothing special. But the village itself is not what makes it so widely known. It's the local unicorn haven. Nearly every small, innocent, child dreams of becoming a Keeper, a person who watches the unicorns. But run by a group of monks called the Dispatchers, the unicorn haven holds more secrets than anyone in the village suspects. As Regina gets sucked into her new job more and more secrets start coming out. A dark presence makes itself evident on the outskirts of the village. Being now a Keeper, and a tracker, one who protects the village, Regina has to keep up with it all.

Shattered by TrashPanda137

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13

Relentless by TheMeganVictoria

Book 2 in The O'Connor Chronicles The cover of darkness lingered about, fraternizing with the subtle breeze, dancing, taunting the Earth like a twisted game only it knew how to play. I always resided in that darkness, drinking it like an addictive drug, numbing my tongue and hating the taste; yet, incapable of terminating the bond. I needed it, so I thought. Unable to live without it, they told me. It followed me, a shadowed plague there was no cure for, and I believed the lies it spat. I gave into the harsh, chastising whispers it trickled into my broken soul. I drifted into a place where misery and sorrow inhabited with me as their company. And yet, at that moment, the glooming murk of the night did not touch me. He chipped away at her walls, until, light peeked through the cracks. Saige O'Connor; there's a lot more to the name than meets the eye, and she can't rest easy just yet. Six months after the horrible scare Cleo Val put the secluded town through, you would think things would get better. But life just loves to throw curveballs into Saige's broken world, one, in particular, putting everyone on edge. Sarah Grayson. Ky made a promise to protect Saige, but that promise is tested greatly when an Unseen traitor is floating about. Who can he trust? How can he fight an enemy he can't see? After all, The Unseen always get what they want. No one wants to be found, no one wants to be seen. But they know everything. The saga of The O'Connor Chronicles continues on an incredible adventure with winding turns, plot twists you won't see coming, blossoming romance, and an ending you don't want to miss.

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist by OnceUponASonder

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.
