abuse dark moody romance suspense teenfiction thriller youngadult

Seventeen-year-old Skye Montgomery lives a less-than-perfect lifestyle of lies, betrayal, and most of all, secrecy. Ever since Johnny Richmond-a man hardly cut out for the role of her step-father-stumbled into her life, Skye has been playing with fire in a dangerous game of How Long can You Keep a Secret? And to make matters worse, her boyfriend Bryan also has a few secrets up his sleeve-as dark and destructive as they may be-and it's only a matter of time before everything she's ever known is taken from her.

   Then she meets Jules, an infuriatingly handsome charmer with an uncanny knack for running into her. His angelic ways give her reason to smile again, while his mysterious past keeps her intrigued. And although she's certain she once loved Bryan, Jules makes her question the things she once thought were most important, altering her perspective on how things should be.

    But the question is, will she find the strength she needs to claw her way out of the black hole Johnny and Bryan have left her in? Or is she already too late?All Rights Reserved

It's not an easy task, given that her mother is an alcoholic mess, her father is dead, the rest of her family is determined to pretend she, her mother, and her younger sister, Grace, don't exist, and feels like she's drowning in the responsibilities that come with adulthood without having her parents there to help her.

She can't just sit back and watch her get away with it. Julia needs to pay. And she will. Those friends she loves? Gone. That boyfriend? Gone. That reputation? Gone. Tessa will take everything.

Irresistible Deception by Moonlighton245

Deception is an irresistible thing. It shows you how far you're willing to go to get what you want. It shows you what you want to see, but in the end; it leaves you with nothing to hold. An illusion to take pleasure in but make you question reality itself. BLAIR ANDERSON is quite a...strange girl. Despite the mistreatment and emotional neglect from her parents, she believes that deep inside everyone, there's always good. Because of her too trusting nature and her desire for love and affection she never received, it may lead to her ruination when she meets AMEO ADLER, who can be too...calm in frightening situations, for a lack of a better word. He's someone with an insatiable, dangerous appetite that he tries to hide from her. He would go lengths to prove to her how much she means to him, but to what extreme will he do that? Should there be a limit until it's becomes destructive? She will quickly realise that Ameo isn't what he deems himself to be; whether it's a good or a bad thing. She will soon learn that there's a frail, delicate line between protective and possessive; attraction and obsession; the admiration for someone and the desire to own one's being. She will later understand that not everyone who saves you is your guardian angel; and that sometimes, the devil does the saving instead. What happens when he enters her heart bit by bit? And after she falls into his love trap, perfectly made for her, will everything change? Just what could ever go wrong when a fiery rendezvous ignites between a gullible woman and an artful man? Nothing. Right? *Disclaimer! MATURE Content* Read this with caution, as it might be too much for some readers. If you can't handle it, it's best to stop for your sake because a lot of...things are going to happen in this story. <In Wattpad> Published: 12.02.2022 Finished: 12.05.2023 Ranks: #1 gaslighting #1 twisted #2 dark love #2 suspicion #3 deception #3 imprisonment #4 gamble #4 illusion #4 mania [Original Story]
