The Things We Couldn't Forget by Shelby_Painter

Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for. It should have been enough. She was off-limits, my parent's best friend's daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn't exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn't know how to fill. It's what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn't have made. Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn't meant for me cost me everything I loved. I never should have crossed that line or given in. It's why she'll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret. This tragic story is the beginning of our end...

After Everything 1 by Idiazel

Unedited* After Everything isn't like other love stories that you've read before. Yeah it's true when people say that love is just a stupid feeling that makes people happy but what if she made people more sad than happy because the moment you think that everything is going well and everyone is happy everything goes upside down... After Everything 1 is also a classic love story of a bad boy who falls in love with a good girl only this time she isn't a good girl anymore. Soo... one day fate will cross two people's paths with fucked up lives and broken hearts, so they could heal or destroy each other. And it doesn't matter how hard they try because in the end promises are just words after all. "He walked into my heart like he always belonged there, then he took down my walls and lit my soul on fire and I finally realized that I had found a natural drug for my panic, anxiety, and anger." 𒊹︎𝐶𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑦: 𝑅𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒/ 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑎/ 𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒 𒊹︎𝔽𝕚𝕣𝕤𝕥 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕓𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕕𝕣𝕒𝕞𝕒 𝕓𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕚𝕟 "𝕄𝕦𝕗𝕗𝕚𝕟 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕔𝕙𝕠𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕒𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟘" ❥𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕖𝕕: 𝟙𝟙 𝔸𝕡𝕣𝕚𝕝 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟘 ❥𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕤𝕙𝕖𝕕: 17 𝕊𝕖𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣 2021
