The floors of the station are uncharacteristically clean, and the smell of an ocean is present as soon as a passenger steps out of the subway doors. It must indicate that the city they've arrived in mirrors this cleanliness--aside from the disturbingly large numbers of people walking around with missing limbs or the unusual language that seems to slip out during conversations.
Carissa is the lucky human that gets to enter this exhilarating journey. But as an echo emanates from the last cart of the subway, she's no longer convinced that she's the only one present in this underground roller coaster.

Love In The Storm
Adeline wasn't planning on having a panic attack in the middle of a thunderstorm-but that's exactly how she met Leo. Head down, heart racing, soaking wet... and suddenly crashing into a stranger with calm eyes and steady hands. Leo's the last person anyone would expect to be soft. He's an FBI agent, used to chaos, and once had a reputation for being the guy who didn't stick around. But Adeline? She's sweet, sheltered, and the kind of girl who can light up a room without even trying. The second their paths crossed, he knew she was going to mean something. And she did... she meant everything. He didn't mean to fall for the girl who's scared of storms. She didn't plan on it, but she trusted him faster than anyone else. But when two messy hearts collide, sometimes the calm comes after the thunder. This isn't one of those over-the-top, cringy romances. There's no love triangle, no toxic drama, and no dragging things out with a million side characters. Just a good timeline, real connection, and all the wholesome moments we secretly dream about. Leo and Adeline are loyal, sweet, and actually communicate (shocking, I know). You'll laugh, smile, maybe cry - and you'll definitely wish you had a Leo of your own. If you're a reader who's tired of the recycled tropes, toxic drama, and characters who can't get their lives together? Same. I've been in the Wattpad trenches too, and that's exactly why I wrote this book. It's everything I wanted to read but couldn't find. So consider this your sign: you're about to find your new favorite. You're gonna fall for Leo and Adeline - I just know it. - Love, yours truly, DaddyMaddyyComplete
LURE
After Seely's death, El wears the crown of leadership unwillingly, her ship a crumbling husk of ancient tech and silence. The others look to her for safety, but when a sealed deck stirs to life, she feels only the weight of a curse awakening. The comms hub whispers of Earth, but not the world they left -a wasteland, haunted by plague and ruin. And then comes Silas, a voice too smooth, too eager, threading devotion with something darker. Worse still is Nana, the girl dragged from cryogenic sleep, pale and wrong, radiant with an alien hunger the others cannot see. El smells doom in the recycled air. The vessel is shifting, the eyes are watching, and she knows. Something has already claimed them.
