Sixteen-year-old Jayda Willow doesn't live on Earth. She's an orphan, living with a foster family on a distant planet named Endaria populated and ruled by giants that humans escaped to after Earth's resources were depleted. 

In a desperate attempt to join her mother in the detention center, Jayda burns down her foster family's house, and is brought before the overseeing giant of their human township, Marcelo Aricci, who's only a little bit older than Jayda herself. Marcelo decides to take Jayda as his own instead of sending her to the detention center-a fact that she initially resents, until she uncovers the truth behind his motives.

Marcelo is part of a progressive movement that advocates for a more integrated community between humans and giants. Soon Jayda is drawn into his world and assisting him on secret missions to the capital in an attempt to start a revolution-and find her mom again, who may have been taken to the seventh moon, El Arayra.

Through it all, her feelings for Marcelo grow into something Jayda never dreamed was possible, and she's forced to admit that everything she once believed about giants was wrong.

Small People by moodygirlz

Title: Small People ON HOLD Description: Kayne Ray has spent his life being overshadowed-by his towering Vareshian lineage, by his powerful older brother, and most of all, by the cruel legacy of his father, a man feared for his hatred of humans. Unlike his family, Kayne wants nothing to do with the supremacy that shaped his childhood, but breaking free from his past has left him isolated, awkward, and adrift in a city built for giants like him. Everything changes the day he accidentally injures a human woman in a dark alley. Small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, Val is delicate, wary, and utterly alone. Wracked with guilt, Kayne takes her into his apartment to recover, intending to send her on her way. But days pass, and neither of them seem eager for her to leave. As Kayne struggles with the suffocating weight of his father's estate, a brother who demands more than he can give, and a world that will never fully accept his rejection of Vareshian dominance, Val becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic life. But the longer she stays, the more tangled his emotions become. His protectiveness warps into something deeper, something dangerous-a hunger he knows he has no right to indulge. Torn between his desires and his duty, Kayne must walk a thin line between the man he wants to be and the instincts clawing at his restraint. Because Val trusts him. And breaking that trust might shatter more than just the fragile sanctuary they've built-it might ruin them both. A slow-burn fantasy romance about power, restraint, and the forbidden pull of two beings from vastly different worlds, is a story of longing, control, and the delicate balance between fear and desire.

Into Another Sphere (G/T) by ixsradonia

the ground trembled with footsteps. A voice filled the space. Someone was coming. The piece of furniture above her began to move, letting in more light. Dark spots danced at the corners of her eyes. The world was growing faint. Sounds began to blur - - -The plot, cover and the characters are originally mine -the cover is ai made, I will work on another one later

My Giant Family by moodygirlz

Title: My Giant Family Book Description: In "My Giant Family," young Finn, a six-inch-tall teenager, navigates the complexities of life within a blended family where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. After his human mother marries a Vareshian giant, Finn finds himself adjusting to a new life with his giant stepbrothers, Daniel and Axel, and stepsister Lola. Set against the backdrop of a world where humans and giants coexist, Finn's experiences offer a unique blend of challenges and adventures. The story explores the dynamics of Finn's daily life, from the challenges of attending a segregated school with distinct human and giant sectors to handling the playful yet overwhelming interactions with his giant siblings at home. Finn's journey is one of growth and adaptation, filled with moments of humor, conflict, and profound connection. As Finn develops friendships and navigates his teenage years, he encounters both the joys and trials of living in a mixed-size family. His relationship with Carter, a human classmate, provides a grounding perspective outside his giant-dominated home life, while his interactions with his siblings highlight themes of acceptance and understanding across size and species. "My Giant Family" is a heartfelt tale that celebrates the diversity of family life and the strength found in accepting one another's differences. It is a vivid exploration of the bonds that define us, the resilience required to grow, and the enduring love that holds a family together despite the odds.

Stray Humans by AlphaKitten1974

It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)

The Servant Girl and The Sea Prince by Kae-LeahWilliamson

Poseidon is a young merman prince preparing to succeed his dying father as monarch of the beautiful undersea kingdom of Pacifica. Melinda is a poor human servant girl who loves the ocean. This is their unlikely romance, told in alternating perspectives. A prequel to my novella The Siren Queen, but it also works as a stand-alone novella.

The Golden Dragon's Hoard by STESLARA

Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.

Sly as a Fox {Book One} by roseh23

Willow's had to fight to get to where she is now. She doesn't need anyone telling her what to do or how to do it. Her life is perfect the way it is, but it's near impossible for her to fulfill her wants of keeping her independent lifestyle. For starters, Willow isn't even human; she's a Volpe (fox-shifter), but being a Volpe is more complicated than simply being able to shift into a fox. For thousands of years, there were only humans and for those thousands of years, they killed each other over the color of their skin. But that was then. Now shifters are an everyday part of life and no one cares about the color of a person's skin: it's their species, and it's even worse than it was between humans and the levels of melanin in their skin. Volpes are the most hated of all the species. Supposedly cunning and deceitful to many, they are discriminated against and viewed as nuisances. Lupos (wolf-shifters) hate them most of all, with Volpes returning the favor. Lupos - with their powerful packs and Alphas throughout the world - have the obvious social advantage over Volpes, but that doesn't stop the world from turning and the natural course of events to happen. Every shifter will eventually find and bond to a person who compliments them in every sense for no other reason than a cruel twist of their reproductive biology. With little to no conscious decision as to who their "mate" will be, two shifters - two strangers - are forced together, their fates forever intertwined because of a chance encounter. To many, this is seen as a blessing, but to Willow, a so-called "soul-mate" is the farthest thing from her mind. Will the sparks fly or will the fists fly when she realizes that a member of the very species she resents so passionately is her mate? How can a Lupo ever be with a Volpe when all they see each other as are the harmful stereotypes of their species? How will their bond evolve into something that uncovers secrets decades in the making?
