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

THOSE GOOD TEEN YEARS 3 CRUSHES NO MORE by thebluefrostgiant

The third teen year. Our young teens are fifteen, and high school is not merciful. And now, the boys are getting smarter. They want to be with their crushes,and want to pursue a 'serious' relationship. They don't want to beat around the bush. And when boys are determined, they're hotter than Hades trying to kidnap Persephone~ and they will succeed. And girls, they realize that sometimes, they have to make the first move. Ego just hurts you; why not just accept the inevitable and not wait for lousy boys who're scared of their intense feelings? Social and cultural issues are raised, and one thing is clear. There are Crushes No More. It's LOVE (gasp!) and, it's for real this time. No more stuttering and shying away from the truth. Friendship is tested, and trust is developed. Will the teenagers be able to handle this teen year? Watch out for the melodrama (it might be too much. After all, we're talking about TEENAGERS here. Duh.) Happy reading!

What's That Supposed To Mean? - Werewolf Romance by IsaBellsAreRinging

Samantha Riley has been a tomboy ever since she could walk and her parents divorced when she was almost one year old. Twelve years later, she wants to go visit her mother in New York but the visit becomes five years. Samantha, now seventeen and certainly not a tomboy anymore, is ready to go back to Ohio, to her family and friends, but mostly to her father. No one expects her, though, to come back looking like a a new person. But looking like a goddess does not change the fact that she is still mateless and also next in line for the Alpha position, a huge responsibility. Noah Black has lived in Ohio for as long as he can remember, with his six brothers and father. His mother died giving birth to her youngest son, Thresh. Noah has always been the one to pull pranks and tease Samantha, making her life miserable as they grew up together. When she left, there was no one else to annoy, but now, five years later, when Noah hears that she is coming back, he thinks that she is still that same tomboy who can't stand up for herself. He has become even more of a badboy now, loving all the trouble and the girls that throw themselves at him. And yes, he is mateless and, just because his older brother passed it down, is next in line for the Alpha position. So what happens when they meet again, five years later, more grown and more mature? Is there hatred between them, still? And what happens when they both realize they are connected in ways they never could've dreamed of? Suck at summaries, give it a chance, y'all! :)

Ecstasy by xkatherine212

Tyson Shelley is a very typical teenager: parties, girls, passionate about his garage band. Except he may have taken it too far. Whenever there's a party he's the first one with a drink in his hand, which would be all right, if he weren't popping pills as well. But what led him to this behavior in the first place? Perhaps it was his broken childhood, disturbed and interrupted by bouts of violence and loss? His missing mother, or his alcoholic father? Whatever it was, it's left him lost and without a purpose beyond getting trashed every Friday and Saturday night. Calla Stevenson however seems the exact opposite. The new girl in town with an average nuclear family and a little sister to be a role model for. She's never had the chance to act out, with the only truly obvious thing setting her apart is her taller than average height and her penchant for retro clothing. But then you look closer. The hairline cracks that have spread their way across her family have widened, and with her parents separating she blames herself for their unhappiness. In a new town, they were meant to start anew. But the change of scenery brings with it its own set of anxieties: a new school, new friends and the persistent daily struggle of dyslexia. Murwillumbah seems a sleepy enough town when Calla and her family moves in. But once she meets Tyson everything changes. She learns less about the cocky, guitar playing James Dean Rebel, and more about the gentle soul he is intent on destroying. Ecstasy is a story about opposites, and is told by two narrators. It reminds us that everyone has their own path but we can all walk in each other's shoes. Warning: this story may contain frequent us e of strong language, sexual scenes, and STRONG drug use. NOTE: I did write this many years ago when I was in like middle school or high school and I'm in college now. So there are errors every now and then. I did republish this recently and try to fix some errors every now and then.

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).

The Impossibilities of Us by beedazzle

"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong language

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 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."

Waves (A High school Novel) by captiangiggles

This amazing story written by me, Captain Giggles, is full of action, drama, humor, and much more to somes likings. If you don't like his book I understand, but maybe give me some facts or information on what I can do better to improve this book. This book is about just some regular high school teens and just their life. Characters (Key Main Characters Kind of): Marvin and Daniel are very different. Daniel is a straight A-B student, is in a band, is a lady magnet ;So Marvin calls him; is very quiet at times, he's also 17 years old. Marvin is the opposite of Daniel,he's 19. Now James is an interesting boy; he is a big partier, loves to surf, his best friend is Marvin, he's a player but not a player like Marvin is, he has dark brown hair, also dark blue/ green eyes, he loves his sister Jade and watches out for her. Now Jade, interesting girl I have to say; she's hates the popularity but she deals with it, she has green cat like eyes, light brown hair, she's not a type of girl who dresses up to impress or anything, she only does what she wants and needs to, her make up is almost always light, most boys think of her has a "hot girl", she's a surfer; might I say quiet an amazingly great one to; she follows her brother to his friends parties and things like that to make sure he's safe, she has a crush on Daniel, but so do all the other girls too. For your information I'm not a stalker just a close friend XD Heck! I'm the writer so I know everything about them because I made them! But I hope you like this story I'm making right now!! WARNING!There will be some "not so nice" language! Not all chapters will be long! Some chapters will be short so deal with it! ~ Captain Giggles Also I'm looking for a new cover for this book.
