Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Be part of her weird and wondrous life, yet stressful and hard. Be prepared to smile, laugh, drop a few tears and feel character's emotions. Amanda went on summer holiday with her family after the death of her best friend Oliver. She's having a great time along her friends, seaside, carnival... She meets a boy and immediately falls in love. It seems like her life is perfect and fun, but there's always a big twist in every story. She gets hurt, and it affects and changes her entire life. She needs to lie, and to go deep into the sea to find her escape and cure. That leads to the fact - Who to trust? Are the closest persons, such as family and friends, always the honest ones? Is Oliver really dead? Will she survive? Despite that, her mind is all up to finding the only thing that could save her. Will she find it? Or will she leave her old life far behind and never come back? How will the plot develop after she meets a lot of new friends and enemies?

Little Nymph by yoursecret3

Looking for a tension filled, steamy enemies to lovers pirate story? Leave your real life behind and dive into a whole new world with two moons, pirates, sirens, ogres, and many more distractions;) Aura, daughter of one of the most influential pirates in all of Trodeaion, and sadly seasick is raised by a family friend for the first nineteen years of her life. Despite missing her father as his visits become rarer and rarer the more she starts to look like her mom, she loves her life. That is, until one random morning, a group of pirates invades the tavern she works at and takes her hostage on their ship. The infuriating captain insists he's an honourable man, yet he's made a deal with her father's rival to deliver her to him. She has three months on his ship to find a way to escape certain death. Can she do it? (Excuse this horrible blurb, I hate writing them and I want to get back to working on the book itself so it's the best I can do for now. It's unlikely that many people will see this right now anyway, so it doesn't matter) TW: Many serious themes in this one! SA, vi0lence, mention of vomit, mention of dr0wning, mention of dism4mberment, mature themes etc.

Discovering Shadows (Completed) by Bookworm7216

I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?
