Life is normal for Ruby in the pretty, rural jungle. She plays with her sister. She helps her mother cook. But her heart weighs heavy with grief when a deadly virus plagues her father, forcing her to go hunting without him.

Hope seems lost, and Ruby shuns all beckons that Jesus is good, even when her sister finds a mysterious book about him.

But when her father's condition worsens, she finds herself on a mission to find an American doctor abiding in a tree fort. The trek is difficult. Wildlife isn't helping. Ruby and her sister are chased by angry gorillas who seem to be upset she killed one of theirs. To make matters worse, a raging river and sucking mud is dividing them from their destination.

Ruby's sister becomes her top priority when a deadly anaconda separates the two. And even though she tries to ignore it, someone seems to be watching them. Protecting them. Maybe her doubts about Jesus were wrong. And maybe she needs him more than she thinks. Especially, if he can help her survive the jungle and get the medicine back home.All Rights Reserved

Bonds of Beast by T1g3r9

Trapped in a world ruled by primal instincts and unyielding survival, Innana, a fragile human woman, finds herself thrust into the untamed domain of beastmen-powerful, animalistic beings who dominate the remnants of a post-cataclysmic Earth. Innana's humanity makes her both a vulnerability and a rare treasure in this savage world. Her presence begins to unravel bonds of loyalty, jealousy, and unexpected devotion among the beastmen she encounters. The wild itself seems to test her resolve, revealing the depths of her resilience and forcing her to confront the possibility that her value lies not in her beauty, but in her strength of spirit. But the beast world is not kind, and Innana quickly learns that her survival may depend on forming connections with those who view her as more than prey or prize. As alliances form and rivalries simmer, Innana becomes the unwitting heart of a growing circle of protectors-each bound to her by instinct, admiration, or something far deeper. Bonds of Beast explores the fragile line between survival and surrender, the complexities of loyalty, and the untamed bonds that form when worlds collide. In a land where dominance rules and instincts reign, Innana's journey is not just about staying alive-it's about discovering her place in a world where even beasts can love.

Camp MondCove by ItzAshh_31

After months of relentless searching, Nico, a Spanish teenager, arrives in America, ready to embrace his new role as a counselor and lifeguard at MondCove-a prestigious camp nestled deep within the ominous Zirconia forests. What he anticipates as a summer of adventure quickly spirals into a nightmare. From the moment he steps onto the campgrounds, an unsettling presence wraps itself around him like a cold shroud. The laughter of campers fades into an oppressive silence, and he feels unseen eyes watching him from the darkness. Campers begin to vanish without a trace, their echoes haunting the stillness. Gruesome discoveries of mutilated animals become disturbingly frequent, as if some primal force is playing a macabre game. Whispers surround the camp's sister site for girls, a place shrouded in dark secrets linked to MondCove by a shadowy fate. Campers speak of the "lost ones," young girls who vanished years ago, their fates entwined with the very land. Shadows stretch longer as day gives way to night, and the forest seems to close in, whispering ancient curses that chill him to the bone. As Nico unravels the tangled web of secrets binding MondCove and its mysterious sister camp, he grapples with his own fears and the horrifying truth lurking beneath the surface. Each investigation pulls him deeper into terror, awakening dormant horrors that have long slumbered in the woods. With the camp's malevolence closing in, Nico races against time to uncover the chilling secrets that haunt him. But as he delves deeper, he wonders: is he revealing the truth, or merely digging his own grave? Will the encroaching darkness claim him before he can piece together the elusive truth, or will he become just another whisper lost to the shadows of MondCove?

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.

On the Outskirts by EmelySwift

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?
