Shattered Reality by cloudynate
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Shattered Reality is a haunting, twisted romance where love, lies, and secrets collide-and the line between sanity and madness is more fragile than ever. Lena Dawson doesn't remember the night her parents died. The crash, the screams, the chaos-it all fades into a fog of uncertainty. Now, she's trapped in an asylum, a place where nothing feels real. The doctors say she's making progress, but the more she tries to piece together her past, the more the fragments slip through her fingers. When she meets Elias, a fellow patient with eyes dark enough to hide a thousand secrets, something stirs within her. There's a connection between them, unspoken but undeniable. As Lena grows closer to Elias, she begins to sense that he's hiding something-something that could shatter everything she thought she knew about herself, the accident, and the truth of her own fractured mind. But Elias has a plan. He whispers to Lena about the hospital-their twisted, controlling ways, and the dark secrets lurking behind the sterile walls. He makes her question the doctors, the treatment, and the very reality she's been told to accept. Could the hospital, not the accident, be the true cause of her trauma? Is it the institution that has warped her mind, manipulating her into believing the wrong truths? Elias tells her that only he can help her uncover the hidden truths of the asylum-and her past. In a place where trust is a luxury and reality is ever-shifting, Lena must decide: Can she trust Elias, the one person who makes her feel alive again? Or is he the key to a truth too dark to face? And as the lines between love and deception blur, Lena's fragile grip on reality is pushed to its breaking point. Shattered Reality is a gripping, psychological thriller where every truth feels like a lie, and every lie could be the key to Lena's salvation-or her undoing.
Grim Echoes by ryanahunter
94 parts Complete Mature
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.
