Being neurodivergent, maybe,  kind-of queer (she doesn't know yet), and adopted without a single other girl in her house, fifteen year old Star has enough problems on her plate. Being in high school is hard enough, but when she starts displaying freakishly supernatural strength, it gets a lot worse. 

Then, right at the epitome of a prevailing identity crisis, shit hits the fan, and Star's country is invaded by a violent, weirdly religious nation called Callila, who seems particularly hellbent on taking over the entire continent for their god. Star and her friends are dragged out of their safe, loving world by their ankles and thrust into one full of deceit, barely concealed sexism and homophobia, and superiority complexes rooted in classism. Star learns that she has an alleged relation to a long dead court noble she couldn't care less about and meets Arlen, an enigmatic, if slightly annoying, prince who seems hellbent on protecting her from the true evilness that lurks around her while helping her hone her new found strength, which is slowly but steadily creeping out of control. 

But as time continues to pass and tensions grow higher, Star hears whispers about a growing rebellion that could dissolve the current monarchy and bring her back home. She decides to help, along with her friends, and begins to realize that being young does not exclude her from the horrors of war, and she is faced with the fact that even if she is able to return home, nothing-not even her-will ever be the same. 

*Basically, a YA novel with teenagers being teenagers, more gay, more diversity, a lot more swearing, and darker humor. Something I'm writing for fun. Give it a shot if you so wish.All Rights Reserved

Tales of the Five Nations 1-Scarblade by RMBlackscythe0

A fourteen-year-old girl who is the last person with Fire Powers in her Nation, and a fourteen-year-old boy who is the one of the most powerful people in the same world stuck in the Human Realm have to save an entire Nation-in a separate world where Powers are everything. In a world where Fire comes blasting out of your hand at will, a world where you can snap and someone is across the room from you, a world where people can create tornadoes from their bare hands. The two teenagers have to get through a portal to find the Fire Nation-which has lost its entire people with Fire Powers except for one girl-the ability to create Fire from their hands-and try to save them without dying...and that actually turns out to be really hard. Together, they are the most powerful people ever. If you're looking for a story with sword-fights, magic, legendary creatures, and a lot of comedy-you've opened the right book. Especially if you've been searching for a song about lunch.

When the Raven Calls by Earthstone

A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, MAGIC VANISHED FROM THE KINGDOM OF ILLVONYA. Now, it's been returning, and just in time to cause a whole lot of trouble for the Thieves' Guild of Archport--like they didn't have enough to deal with, working with the Raven Associates to smuggle slaves out of Evaren (a neighboring nation), keeping their reputation as a group of fearless criminals, and keeping their identities a secret. There's just one thing that no one knows: it's a group of teenagers. With unforeseen complications arising and a country that seems to be teetering on the edge of chaos, it's all they can do to keep their heads above the water. But when Sam begins to develop abilities after coming into contact with an ancient artifact and the people with abilities, or the Tainted, start to be grabbed in night raids and thrown in jail or up for public executions, they know it's only a matter of time before they are forced to become more involved. Little do they know the full extent of what's coming... With a goddess-given mission and the fight of their lives close approaching, can these rag-tag heroes pull themselves together in time to save the kingdom and themselves? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey everyone! This is a high-fantasy novel with a good dash of humor, so please check it out!! This is also my NaNoWriMo project, so frequent updates (at least in November 2015).

Protector of the Crown by MandySAuthor

COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.

The Billionaire Mafia Boss Alpha Bad Boy and Me by YYeung128

A parody... except it slowly gets less satirical as I get way too attached to the characters and turn the story into a shipping-fest ~~~~ "Why are you doing this?" I whispered. He slammed me against another locker. I could see anger, sadness, envy, happiness and lust in his teal green orbs. "Because you're mine." He smirked, gnashing his teeth against mine. ~~~~ Brynn Winters is a 17 year old good girl. She is sweeter than sugar. She is also sarcastic and quirky and innocent and naive and snarky and is a bookworm and not like other girls. She also has trauma to (barely) compensate for her lack of personality. She believes in love but she has never experienced any, until she met him. Ryder Daniels is a 18 year old bad boy. He is sweeter than sin. He is dark and mysterious and plays football (not shown in book). He smokes and drinks beer. He is a ladies' man and a player. He has walls around his heart and some dark secrets that is definitely not spoiled in the title. He does not believe in love. Brynn and Ryder are opposites. So what happens when they meet? He is not who she thinks he is. Will it end in disaster? Or will it end in love? Will it end in flames? Or will it end in a different kind of flame? As disasters come their way, will they choose love or not love? Will their secrets drive them apart? Or will they trust in each other? Join them on their journey of love. There will be love, annoying sluts, conversations that doesn't pass the Bechdel test, cliche tropes, glaring plot holes, subtly glaring plot holes, socialism, orbs, humor, secondhand embarrassment and the tiniest hints of homoeroticism. ~~~~ Reviews (aka criticisms that I'm too lazy to correct): "From a horribly done parody to horribly done leftist propaganda." "Brynn and Ryder are the most frustrating couple I've ever read." "Where humor" "You can't use parody as an excuse for bad writing, you know."

The Blood We Shed by leovaldezshotstuff

Daisy Smart is just a normal girl...right? This book is based off of me (Daisy) and my childhood friend group. It's about a small group of kids classified as "Starbearers" and they have that identity, because they all have a star mark on a random part of the body. There is a group called "Starhunters" looking for kids all over the USA with it, because the star mark means they have a secret superpower that they have to discover on their own. If they are found, then they are captured and taken to a place where they suffer until they die. Daisy is ten (she gradually gets older) and from Lexington, Kentucky. She lives with her little brother, Aiden Smart, and her parents. Her parents favor Aiden more and ignore their daughter's mental health needs. One day, Daisy is not able to control her actions, leading to her family's deaths. She runs away and meets a seven year old named Maya, who was abandoned as a baby due to her mark. Maya is very mature for her age and helps Daisy. Maya tells her about the star mark and Daisy discovers it on her back. Maya tells her everything about the Starhunters and Starbearers, making Daisy very angry and upset. Daisy promises Maya that she will change this fucked up world, but will she? (I want to make a sequel for this, but idk what to write about in that yet. That's where everyone in my childhood friend group will be in. In this one, there's only half of them.)

The Heavier the Chains... by meclayton2016

What happens when your entire world is ripped away from you? You pray for strength. Kenzlee Raised in a fairyland of the rich and privileged, Kenzlee Mitchell had the perfect life. Though her parents were absent and neglectful, her twin brother wasn't. With more money than any teenager needed, freedom to do whatever she wanted, and a brother who supported her fully, it was easy to forget that there were people all around the world who didn't have it as easily as she did. Talon Raised with more responsibility than most kids, Talon Draven was an old soul. Even though he was only eighteen-years-old, he took the responsibility of taking care of his sister and mother very seriously. With an absent father and a mother who worked two jobs, Talon did what he had to in order to take care of his younger sister and help out his mother. When you least expect it... After Kenzlee's father loses everything that they own, she's shipped off to her uncle's house until her parents can get their act together. Suddenly, she's faced with a new life, new school, new friends, and an uncertain future. However, none of that anxiety compares to when she first meets Talon Draven. After Talon's spent years sticking to his life's plan, he's hit with a temptation that he never imagined could exist. On his way to class, he's run over by a goddamn princess, and his entire life's focus shifts. Staring into the face of the most beautiful girl that he's ever seen, Talon just has to have her. While Kenzlee's preparing for an uncertain future, Talon's preparing for a future with her in it. However, the one thing they can both agree on? Staying away from one another is a lot harder than it should be. Spoiler Alert: There's no lake in the town of Lakeside.

Never by JaideHarley

Book 5.5! 19-year old Winter is on the hunt for vampires. Not any vampires, just one group in particular. After growing up in a family of vampire hunters and losing all contact with them, Winter makes it her life goal to track down every single vampire there the night her family home burned to the ground six years ago. With no family left, and nowhere to go, Winter searches for answers and revenge all in one. Her search sometimes leads to making vampire friends, and other times leads to eradicating an entire clan. Her one purpose is to find those responsible, get answers on her missing family's status- dead or simply missing- and kill any involved in her whole world burning falling apart. Thaddeus is one of the oldest vampires in the world, set on a mission to take over and replace The Elders, the supernatural government that has grossly overstepped their boundaries and operated on unethical means to maintain their power while losing sight of caring for their people. It isn't his first attempt at overthrowing the powerful force, but as his list of allies grow, so does his list of complications. Between maintaining relationships with his new allies, protecting the key pieces in his plan, and trying to coax a long lost supernatural out of hiding, he has no time for anything else. Especially not the vampire-hunting human his brother associates with. Winter and Thaddeus find their paths crossing more than either of them like. They butt heads, threaten and attempt to kill each other, and find through all their conflict that there is something underneath. An unwanted camaraderie, an unfortunate mutual understanding of the others motivations, and most inconveniently, a draw to each other that takes time away from their firm ambitions. On the matter of the greater good or love, both have to choose which means more to them.
