"In our world, Verity, blood bows to time... and time is always running out."
Verity Archer was never one of those girls that led a sheltered life until her world was turned upside down. Since she was small, she's been subjected to danger and disappointment. Scenarios that would bring ordinary girls to their knees are nothing to Verity, who never feels the pain of getting kicked to the ground and never fails to deliver when the time comes to stand again, so long as her older brother Aries is there to lean on.
Then one day, he simply isn't anymore...
Thrust into the intricately tangled web of lies and secrets her brother left behind, Verity attempts to follow the path that led Aries to his demise in the hopes of discovering the cause of his disappearance and death. A difficult task when she's stumbling around blindly, empty of even the smallest detail to start her on the right track.
Verity is the last person on earth that would openly admit to needing help, but when a handsome stranger that calls himself 'Sparrow' claims to have had close ties with her brother and offers her his protection and assistance (to an extent) can she really refuse? More importantly, how can she be sure he is who he says he is in this world of dirty little secrets? As time goes on, she'll begin to realise that some of those secrets can sound sinfully sweet, especially coming from the lips of her forbidden and mysterious protector, his mischievous and gorgeous cousin, and their interesting associates.

Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice.

Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart? ... #1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019) #1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)Complete
