floating | ✓ by njhpiper

Gwen Bradbury has seen the end. Gwen Bradbury has learned fighting again. ****** Gwen Bradbury's life is torture to her. She is floating above everyone else. Her existence is like a void, eating her up from the inside, little by little every day. Gwen wants freedom. She wants to escape. But she is not one to give up. The darkness and demons can't do anything to her, not again. She will fight till she can't take it anymore. Oliver Carlson isn't your typical boy next door. He isn't the popular bad boy with a dark past you will find in every book. Oliver is not cocky, not famous, not one with eight pack abs. He is quiet, silent, hiding in shadows, away from everyone else, on his own. He has learned to keep to himself, build his suits of armors up, and shut everyone out. Nobody really knows him. He doesn't care. What hurts is that when his popular brother Owen Carlson gets everything he wants, leaving Oliver nothing. So when Gwen Bradbury unintentionally unexpectedly crashes into Oliver Carlson's life, she tries to convince him that life is beautiful with her broad smile and crazy endeavors. Oliver does quite the opposite by shutting her out on the outside but maybe secretly slowly letting her own a piece of his heart. But what happens when both Oliver and Gwen are faced with disasters that make their second skin fall apart in front of their eyes abandoning only the truth? Completed. @girlofthetrees is the editor of this book.

The Sky Hid by vibewith_skyy

✦ Welcome to The Sky's Hid Story ✦ "Every silence hides a voice waiting to rise." ✦ Protagonist: Mora ✦ Mora was raised to believe in safety, in beauty, in order. But behind the academy's shining walls, truth rots like something hidden too long in the dark. What begins as a search for answers doesn't free her-it locks her into a path designed long before she stepped on it. A pawn in a deeper, crueler game. The question isn't just what's real. Can she break free from a fate she never chose? ✦───────────────✦ Sneak Peek: Voices You'll Meet ✦───────────────✦ The Architect of Fate (Antagonist): ❝ They call it fate. I call it design. You don't lose when I take your will-you lose the moment you believed you ever had it. Fate isn't cruel. It's exactly methodical. ❞ Aaron: ❝ People always think peaceful places are so damn perfect. But peace can be heavy too, can't it? Like silence that never lets you speak. ❞ Mora: ❝ I never asked to be everyone's perfect doll-no thanks. Perfection's just a fancy cage wearing a pretty face. If it thinks it can keep me locked in, it's got another thing coming. Time to say goodbye, and don't let the door hit you on the way out-with grace, okay sweetheart. ❞ If you love psychological thrillers, sharp dialogue, and bonds that cut as deep as they heal-welcome. ✦ Thank you for stepping into the web.

Shadows of the Past by wickedempire

"Shadows of the Past" follows the harrowing journey of Ethan Blackwood, a man battling the demons of his past while struggling to navigate an uncertain present. Set against the backdrop of small-town life and haunted by broken relationships, lost family, and personal failures, Ethan's story is one of survival, resilience, and the fight to rebuild after everything has fallen apart. This is book one. Trigger Warnings: This book contains themes and depictions of trauma, childhood abuse, substance abuse, loss of a parent, toxic relationships, manipulation, emotional and psychological distress, and mental health struggles. Reader discretion is advised. "Shadows of the Past" is a deeply personal project for me. Though this work is fictional, many of the events, emotions, and experiences portrayed are drawn closely from my own life. Writing this book has been both a cathartic and challenging process, allowing me to explore and process difficult chapters of my past. While some characters and events are products of fiction, others are reflections of real-life experiences that I have faced. In the same way, the protagonist's journey is a mixture of truth and imagination, offering both insight into the real struggles of those facing emotional battles and the power of storytelling to find meaning in pain. For the sake of privacy, all names have been changed, and any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental. The first book in this story is now complete, and as you read it, I hope it resonates with anyone who has faced their own shadows and is seeking a way through. Thank you for joining me on this journey. - Chris D.
