Atlantis Academy: The First Element
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 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.

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?Complete

State of Heart
Book 2 of 3 *Began: Monday, August 26, 2019* *Finished: Friday, September 27, 2019* I sat down at a desk with my laptop open and a cup of coffee. From there I just let my imagination go wild. My fingers wove the worlds that my heart told me to. This was the outcome. This was the product of that passion. This is the state of my heart. **NOTE: I own all the characters/stories/photos used in this book. Please do not try to claim any of my work as your own without proper crediting.

Masochistic Sonder | 𝐻𝒮 | Harry Styles
based on 2775 - a girl being the love interest of two people is cliché, not until its been from the beginning of time, it becomes even more intriguing when one of them comes back to take what thou presumes theirs. Aaliyah, successful writer, very wealthy and she has the life that most girls want whereas Harry, model and art teacher, is mysterious, Harry is a perfect fit for Aaliyah's habit of wanting and keeping things she considers pretty. William is what Aaliyah first called a winged being, with a familiar look which makes her not mind his sudden company. It won't be a normal life for Aaliyah, once one of her forbidden star-crossed lovers will break a universal law just for her. "Nobody's perfect, like look at me then, I sat across Harry, he might have been one year or a month younger than me, everything about him looked tremendously ethereal: his hands that gently wrapped around each other and his eyes that hid behind his curly hair." Chapter Three- "Let Me Call You Mr Styles." This story has nothing to do with Harry Styles (I had to use his name- and surname, they're so cute!) whereas his features and physical traits are. Mature content might be featured in a few chapters! - "You poor thing," he said, walking over to me, I could feel his energy moving across my room but I ignored it and packed the rest of the pieces of stuff inside my purse. He suddenly clenched onto my arms and pulled me nearer to him, positioning his hand on my cheek, I felt a type of warmth I had never felt in a long time and I instinctively smothered my face against his soft palm. "You're still the same," he chuckled. "I would have anticipated this behaviour from Bastet, not you but I guess you must have picked up her manner," he added. ☆FEATURED ON in YAFantasy RL 🏅#44 EGYPT 🏅#11 SPIRITUALITY 🏅#74 WOC 🏅#49 HS 🏅#15 PUBLISHED 🏅#10 PARANORMAL-ROMANCEComplete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete

Y/N had long since perfected the art of hiding the cracks in her heart, a quiet ache that lingered beneath the surface, unnoticed by the world around her. Trust had been shattered too many times, leaving behind only the remnants of love she once gave so freely. The weight of solitude clung to her like a second skin, and each day she walked through life as though she were a ghost, watching the world pass by, yearning for something she couldn't quite reach. But when the night embraced her, when sleep whispered its soft lullaby, everything changed. In the silence of her dreams, something shifted-though her eyes could not see, her heart felt it. It was a presence, gentle yet unyielding, that made her believe, just for a moment, that there was more to life than the ache she carried. A presence that whispered in the stillness, as though it had always known her, waiting in the spaces where dreams met reality. In that sacred space, between waking and sleeping, Y/N began to feel the warmth of something new. It was not a dream, but something more-a promise, tender yet powerful, that whispered softly to her soul. "I can't promise you a perfect world, but in this moment, let me be the one who never lets you go." In The Dreamer's Embrace, Y/N begins a journey where the weight of silence starts to lift, revealing a connection she never expected-a love, not of fantasy, but something she's always longed for. Will she open her heart to this strange, beautiful presence, or will the weight of her past keep her trapped in the shadows?
