 They must face the haunted and surreal forest to hopefully save Willow. Both Lena and Anthony forced to overcome their biggest fears. And who knows, maybe something even greater will come out of it.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Reaper's Pet (forbidden love) by JoselinToftlund

"I love you." Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...no, no you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, making her anger rise even more. "Why are you doing this?" He looked at her with confusion, hearing the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened for a second before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, nor want you to die. But I can't like you either, humans live a short life, I live forever. I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," he sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made her believe this wasn't his words, but rather words he had been told. Do you love reapers, forbidden love, and a bad boy you can't help but adore? Then this is the story for you! Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. And pray to Death for her soul, cause damn, she's gonna need it. Saving her brother, certainly brought complications Willow had never expected, like becoming a reaper's bloodbag, or as he likes to call it, pet.

After Time by Kei_Angelus

The writer was sitting in front of her computer, stuck with the writer's block, when her phone suddenly buzzed, showing the name of the one she missed the most. As the memories came back when she heard that voice she always loved, hundreds of questions lingered in her mind. But she had never gotten the chance to even form the words as the line cut off at the same time the explosions suggested that it might have been the end. Jo Narson was just a writer who was trying to finish her fourth book, while not being able to move on with her life without the color of her life. She never thought that she would have to run for her life. But the existence of Carra Mydleston right in front of her got her entangled with her past of hope and her present of survival. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Awards : 1st Place in The Creator's Choice Awards 2020 (LGBTQ+ Category) by @CreatorsChoice 2nd Place in The Eonia Awards 2020 (LGBTQ+ Category) by @EoniaCommunity Runner-up in Romance Awards 2020 (2nd Group) 2nd Place in Constellation Mini Awards (Romance Category) 3rd place in The Eunoia Mini Awards (Best Last Chapter Category) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cover design by @LuxRaven

Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

Stray (mxm) by Forever_Be_Loved

The world has not been kind to me, but that's okay. I don't need to live in luxury or comfort. My only purpose, my only goal, is to protect my children and give them the life I never had. I don't know how much longer I can keep them safe, though. The walls I've built for us are closing in, my efforts are in vain, and I'm not strong enough to help them much longer. I pray my son will be able to use what I've taught him to keep them alive. And protect them from the wolves that can't seem to leave us be. -This story has depictions of violence, SA, depression, panic attacks, gore.

Differences Aside, ✔ by ErynRaineStories

Cover by @auroralust This book is available on Goodreads under this title Elora Reed has spent the majority of her life being beaten, abused and screamed at by the Wolves. In a world like hers, being human was a death wish. Maddox Lancaster, as the King of Northern Wolves, has never really found himself two many problems. The only issue? It had been five years and still no sign of his mate, along with the useless humans that he simply couldn't get rid of. After Elora is caught in a major accident and rushed to the hospital, what happens when the two find their lives are entwined in more ways than one? -------- I could feel my knees wobbling, a sign that I should probably go back into the unreasonably soft bed. I took one last fleeting glance before turning back around to head back to the bed. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw next, A man was in my bed, how I hadn't noticed it before was beyond me. He was lying face down, Thick, dark brown hair was sitting messily on top of his head, but I could tell that it was usually neat and styles. His face was perfect, a sharp jawline, plump pink lips that were opened slightly. His skin was tan, and his long frame was draped over the right side of the bed. Never before had I seen anyone that looked like him, And I was terrified. Long, sharp canines were poking out from the bag in between his lips. It was a werewolf, I could feel my heart beginning to speed up, I had shared a bed with a wolf. ------- 'One of the best werewolf books on wattpad. Loved the fresh, non-cliche storyline.

She's quiet, moody, and has a talent for making people run away with their tail between their legs. Spencer O'Reily is the opposite.

Will comes back home to visit after getting some shocking news; her biological parents have passed away. On her way to her early childhood home, her car breaks down and Spencer seems to be the only auto-repair guy for miles. Will still thinks he's insufferable and cocky as ever, but realizes her feelings for him haven't changed. And Spencer still thinks she's as gorgeous and mysterious as she was back in high school. Both young adults have been dealt an unfair hand when it comes to biological family. Will these two broken souls be able to come together and make their own? Or will the stress of adult life break them apart? ~~~ "Finish your sentence, Spencer." "I like how I feel with you, ma. You make me feel... fuzzy when I look at you. I like that you don't take my bullshit either." He takes a deep breath. "I think that I just like you." "Good boy," she praises, the causing his eyes to roll back again. "I think... I think I like you too." She tilts her head to the side. "Maybe that's why I want to kiss you all the time." Spencer's eyes widen. "You h-huh?!" Willow runs her nails down his chest before gripping his shirt and tugging him down to her level. "I wanna kiss you." She bites her lip. "Can I?"
