⏳✨ The Enchanted Clockmaker ✨, de winxfae_

✨ "When time begins to beat like a heart, destiny brings them together-but so do secrets that could tear them apart." In the city of Halewick, time is more than hours and days-it's magic. Adrian, a lonely young clockmaker, spends his days repairing ordinary timepieces... until one winter night, Seraphine walks into his shop with a broken pocket watch. The watch belonged to her late mother, but it beats like a living heart-and carries a secret tied to destiny itself. When the watch reveals a glowing map beyond the city walls, Adrian and Seraphine are drawn into a journey where time bends, memories fight to stay alive, and shadows hunt for the power hidden in the watch. Pursued by the mysterious Collector, they must face enchanted forests, towers where past and future blur, and trials that test not just their courage-but their hearts. Because the watch doesn't just point the way to fate. It points to each other. A tale of magic, danger, and slow-blooming love, The Enchanted Clockmaker asks: what would you risk if time itself chose your heart's true path?

Secrets, Lies and Dragonflies, de unconditionalconsumr

Once upon a time, in a small Carolina border town, there lived a woman and her dead best friend's kids. Orphaned at fifteen, Mackenzie Temple can't exactly fly under the radar. People still whisper about those poor children that deceased, alcoholic mother left behind.

But when an evening of rule bending kicks off a chain of unfortunate events, Mackenzie's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. And that mysterious mountain boy isn't making things any easier. Meanwhile, her strange Art History class taught by even stranger teachers embarks on a field trip, taking the concept of strange to a whole new level. Was learning how to track evil creatures even on the course syllabus? With chunks of memories missing, Mackenzie's world falls deeper into chaos. For her little brother's sake, she can no longer hide behind her books. Facing enemies, old and new, she must act or lose the very thing she's tried so hard to protect. Secrets must be kept. Lies must be told. Monsters must be stopped.

There she finds out that her world is a lot bigger than she expected, that humans are surrounded every day by vampires, werewolves, and witches, more than that she might actually be one herself. Now she has to learn how to control her powers and how to live and interact with other supernatural creatures. Like the werewolves that won't leave her alone - not that she really wants them to - and the vampire tutor that makes her heart pound loudly in her chest whenever she sees him. Not only that but outside of the school, something is brewing other supernatural creatures hate seeing the interactions of the school. For centuries vampires and werewolves have hated each other but here they are learning and working together. A war is coming to rip them apart and Morgan might end up caught in the middle of it because of her feelings for both the werewolves and the vampire. Can she learn to control her powers before the war comes and help protect the school and the people that mean so much to her or will she be too late and lose everyone she cares about just as she is starting to learn to trust and love again?

The Rich, The Reckless, and The Ruined, de CDPStories

Lockwood Academy isn't just a school - it's a kingdom. Old money, perfect uniforms, and students polished to shine like marble statues. At the very top sit the Lockwood Six: Calliope, Zander, Cassian, Elodie, Thaddeus, and Isolde. They're beautiful. They're untouchable. They're liars. The illusion cracks the night Julian Mercer is found dead at the cliffs of Evermere Bay. He knew their secrets and someone made sure he never lived to tell them. Now the Six are trapped in a glittering nightmare. Their parties, their romances, their betrayals...all stalked by a faceless tormentor who calls themselves "The Watcher". "I know what you've done. Julian may have gone over the cliff, but your secrets didn't." As grief turns to suspicion, the Six scramble to protect their legacies and their lies. But the Watcher is always one step ahead. And with every secret revealed, the question grows sharper: Who killed Julian Mercer and which of the Six will fall next?

Gingerbread Latte, de pumpkinyara

Book #4 in the "Bloodlines & Ashes" series (Can be read as a standalone) I had a plan: Go to college, have lots of sex, and eventually become a doctor. Simple, right? Yeah, well, that was the idea until a family secret came out and flipped my whole world upside down. Fast forward to an accident and a kidney transplant later; I'm left wondering who the hell I even am anymore. That's when she came tumbling into my life. A red-haired stranger on the hospital rooftop, barging into my existential crisis, dragging me-literally-away from the edge. (For the record, I wasn't going to jump. Probably.) She's beautiful, fiery, and...insanely frustrating. She refused to tell me her name, declared my parents must be gay, and walked away like she didn't just turn my entire world upside down. Sounds like the start of a great love story, doesn't it? Here's the problem: she doesn't think so. She's immune to my charm, dismisses me as some campus jock, and seems entirely uninterested in giving me the time of day. Naturally, her rejection only makes me more determined to prove her wrong. Enter the deal: tutoring sessions, gingerbread lattes, and endless chances to show her that I'm more than just a guy with good hair and charm. Her story? I need to know it.  Her trust? I'll earn it. But the closer I get, the more I realize I'm in way over my head. Because, like they say, too much ginger can give you heartburn-and my heart? It's already hanging by a thread.

expired, de bcruzy_02

Navigating teenage life is hard enough-- an older brother who doesn't have his life together, parents that never seem to be around the house, adventuring with the BEST friend in the world, meeting the cute boy who just moved in down the street --all while trying to be "normal." For Eva May, normality in this day to day life is anything but possible. Eva was born with a curse, or as the world would see it (if they even knew), a gift. Above the head of everyone she sees, she can see a countdown. A clock ticking down the years, days, hours, minutes, seconds until they die. As Eva interacts with people and sees people interact with each other, she can watch the rhythm of their clocks slow or quicken depending on what is going on. A day can turn sour when she sees a clock with only a few hours left, or can turn into a celebration when she slows or stops the ticking of someone's timer. In "expired," Eva meets Clay Walker, the typical boy next door who loves his dad, bikes, and adventures with no direction. As Eva gets to know Clay, she notices something is a bit off with his clock: the more she befriends him, the faster it goes. How can Eva try and help Clay, and what will happen as their relationship develops and his time starts ticking down? Find out in Brianna M. Cruz's teen romance novel, "expired."

Heart Right Through Verdugo, de missweetmisery

Up until she turned 15, Emma's life was ordinary. Living in Los Angeles, she had a few friends, and loved learning history. She had a fascination with magic growing up, but after elementary, she moved on from the foolish idea, learning the hard way that magic isn't real and that it's only a lie Hollywood had fed her. But her whole perspective shifted again after the passing of her grandpa. She discovered that he had kept a secret from his whole family-that he once was a warlock. He had given up that life when he moved to L.A. in the 1970s, but Emma and her cousin Carolina are determined to learn every trick in the spell book he left behind. Fast forward to a year later, Emma's life takes a new turn. During junior year, a mysterious new student from San Bernardino catches her eye. He's mysterious, intriguing, and mostly keeps to himself, but why? It's what she wonders every day when they cross paths. Who in Glendale would want to be so secretive, anyway? Bobby Staten-that's who. Due to Bobby's classic leather jacket and dark aesthetic, Emma and her friends constantly joke that maybe he's a vampire and that's the secret he's hiding. It's no longer funny when a series of gruesome killings occur at Verdugo High, described by local officers as a bloody mark found on the necks of the victims. Strangely, this same pattern had appeared earlier in spring at a San Bernardino High School. Coincidence? Rebecca, Emma's other cousin, thinks not. Rebecca quickly suspects a connection and begins investigating Bobby's past and persona. As Emma befriends him, she struggles to believe that someone like Bobby could be capable of crimes so vicious. Rebecca reminds her that one of the only ways to permanently kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart-in much more poetic terms, heart right through Verdugo.

Scion Of The Enchanter: Call Of Fate , de Atharva1234

Fourteen-year-old Alen's world collapses when he suspects betrayal from his closest friend-or so he believes, thanks to a spell cast by a hidden elf and a trap created by his classmate. But the truth is even more astonishing: Alen is not just a smart teen from Clathen City. He's a secret sorcerer-and the prince of Arthen, a magical kingdom on the distant planet Noan in the Orion constellation. His friends-loyal Nick, witty Brook, brilliant Lily, and bold, sharp-tongued Sophia-are shocked to learn the truth. But their lives change forever when Alen's grandfather, the Archmage and King of Arthen, summons them to his world. There, staffs and relics called Acranums channel power, a ship fly beneath twin moons through space along with an invisible sky-corridor, market floating in mid-air, bustling with talking birds and enchanted goods, and beaches that shift colors with every hour. A sentient Lorehouse demands riddles to unlock ancient books. Most powerful of all are the Ancient Acranums-enchanted relics of immense magical strength. These artifacts choose the teens to become Arthen's youngest warriors. But danger looms beneath the wonder. The previous warriors perished searching for a prophecy tied directly to the new ones. Alen is mysteriously forbidden from using magic. A cold-eyed Minister of Defense is plotting treason. Eldric, the all-knowing Grandmage, is hiding secrets. And Sophia is haunted by visions of Echo the Invincible-an unseen, ancient force tied to the Acranums and her past. As friendships fracture and war brews, the teens must train under the mysterious Mystic, Arthur Lucian, and master the power of their Acranums: a magical bow, a ring that commands air, a crystalline sword, and the haunted Arm Bracers of the Echo. With time running out, they must uncover the broken bond, the truths in the kingdom-and choose whether to fight for Arthen against the rival Stygain.
