At Blackstone Heights, weird is the new normal. The vending machines spit out gum wrappers, the library has a room no one can seem to find twice, and the janitor swears he's been cleaning the same hallway for twenty years-without aging a day.
Elliot Lorne doesn't flinch, doesn't scream, and never runs from danger-but it's not because he's fearless. Born with Moebius Syndrome, Elliot's face stays perfectly blank, no matter how scared he might feel inside.
Grayson Vance was the class clown who could light up any room-until a traumatic brain injury changed the way he expresses emotions, leaving his reactions muted and subdued.
Together, the two roommates have learned how to survive college while being completely unreadable to everyone around them. But when the weirdness at Blackstone Heights escalates-phantom lights in the dorms, ghostly figures in the cafeteria, and an entire wing of the science building disappearing-Elliot and Grayson find themselves at the center of it all.
Armed with their deadpan expressions, quick wit, and a circle of wildly expressive friends, the duo must figure out what's haunting Blackstone Heights before it becomes more than just a bad semester.
"When Ghosts Can't Scare You" is a modern horror-comedy full of heart, humor, and plenty of supernatural surprises. Perfect for fans of stories where the screams are optional, but the laughs are guaranteed.

The angel in charge of ensuring her smooth stay in New York is doing a wonderfully bad job.

In Case You Missed It ✔
Jace 'Go Away' Parker, purely standoffish with a pierced brow and cold grey eyes is packing his bags to leave and for some rare occasion, it wasn't because of his fluency in sarcasm and raw truth. Moving into a new town wasn't his choice and to his dismay, Gold Wood High is no different... Now he's counting down his freedom from the stereotypical cliques highschool can never be without. But what's worse than dumb shirt stealing jocks is the town sheriff's daughter, one massive hair-pulling irritation takes the form of alluring green eyes, pink manicure and pompoms that is Whitney 'The Brat' Fallon. It all started because of one stupid request-- something that goes beyond everything the tattoed badboy brunette is against. What happens one heroic night takes a different turn when he realizes there's more to the blonde cheerleader than what meets the eye. Could Jace finally scratch his middle name and 'Lean Closer' for a change? In Case You Missed It, sometimes you gotta trust the ripples of the water instead of paddling your own canoe to take you where you needed to be. •︎──≫•◆•≪︎──• 🐚1st Place Teen Fiction - Banana Awards 🐚1st Place Humor - Guilded Raven Awards 🐚1st Place Chicklit/Humor - The Deli Awards 🐚1st Place Funny - The Valentine's Awards 🐚Best TeenFic Cover - Banana Awards 🐚Best Title - Phosphene Awards 🐚Most Romantic Couple - Banana Awards 🐚2nd Place in Best Blurb - Glow Awards 🐚3rd Place in Best Title - Banana Awards ©All Rights Reserved 2021 | MoniQuillComplete
Changed me
Time was standing annoyingly still and I think I may have forgotten how to properly breathe. "Panda you have to come sit down pacing is not going to-" pushing my hand out I stopped him from saying anything. I stopped him from confirming the knowledge that there is nothing I can do to make this better. I pulled at my hair ripping a couple of strands out in the process. I hated the white walls and fluorescent lights that adorned this place. The squeaky sound that could be heard whenever anyone walked and right now I was causing a lot of squeaking. The strong smell of disinfectant burning my nose but none of it matter right now not any of it. "Where is he?" I heard the voice and my blood immediately started to boil. "You did this" was the last thing I said before I flew and was on top of his mom hitting her wildly. So much for not liking confrontation.Complete

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body. With my neurological system not responding anymore. ******* Depicting the hostility and vulnerability of a young woman to a society the story centers around a normal sophomore, Amy Cole, who had a normal life.

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily.

Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could...
