After a worldwide apocalypse, the very few people who survived had moved underground, to form a society known as the Revision, away from the dangers of the surface.
                        
This story follows a young Anthony Reed, a 19 year old man seeking for something to do with his life, other than being the maintenance guy and the primary caretaker for his eleven year old sister, Willow Reed.

 When Willow falls ill he must escape to the surface with a curious Lena Hansley to find a cure, or Willow will die.

 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.

 After all... this story has just begun.

uninvited by ShawMcKnight

Is the end of the world near? The answer to that might be closer than we thought. One thing is for sure, the world as we knew it is gone. We thought we were alone in the universe. We were wrong. They came uninvited. I certainly didn't invite him into my life. His kind are lifeless with no emotions to speak of. He's incapable of offering any true feelings so why can't I look away from him? How is it that I know whenever he walks into a room? Should we take the lifeline they offer? Are they the enemy or can we trust them? They have the power to save us or destroy us. He has power to save me or destroy me.

Cinders [Completed] by AHobbitPun

I'm standing in the gateway to the larger ballroom, almost too far away for my weak eyes to see the three figures that glide onto the stage. The King and Queen walk side by side until they come to their thrones, the Prince walking about five feet behind and moving towards the smaller throne to the King's left. The King and Queen sit down on their thrones in unison. The Prince doesn't. Even I can see the way his shoulders are bristling, a sort of confused wonder dawning on his face. And I would swear he is looking directly at me. //// Lee Collins wants to help her sister, Lucy. She has a vision of a future away from their dad, where Lucy could be healthy and they would have some chance of happiness. When Lee's only friend helps her sneak into the royal ball on the minuscule chance that an attending doctor would be willing to help, Lee ends up fleeing the party early, chased by none other than her mate. Lee finds herself locked in from all sides, desperate to escape the suffocating implications of a mate but frantic to fight for a future for her sister that she still believes possible. Working in the Royal Palace to save escape money is a terrible idea when you have a controlling father, but it's an even worse idea when the mate that you're avoiding is the Prince. //Marked Mature just in case for violence. general trigger warning.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

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.

On her way to her early childhood home, her car breaks down and Spencer seems to be the only auto-repair guy for miles.

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?!"
