Bite Me ✔
《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018Complete
Kill Me Gangleader
Someone walks into the room but I cannot see its face. It looks like a man and by the look of his posture, he seems very important. "Why were you in my territory?" His voice is strangely calm however I think its the calm before the storm. "I didn't know it was your territory! For gods sake how many times do I have to tell you people? Just let me go and I promise I won't say anything to anyone. Not like I have anyone to tell." The last part I said in a whisper. He didn't need to know the situation I was in. I hear the cock of a gun making me raise my head. The all too familiar sound ringing in my ears. "I don't believe you bitch, so you better tell me the truth or your brains are gonna end up on the wall." Ah there's the storm. "A gun doesn't scare me arsehole, I've had way worse things than that!" He steps forward into the light so I can see his features. He is extremely good looking but right now is not the right time to admire his beauty. I stare straight into his pitch black eyes, daring him to try harder than this. He smirks and leans forward searching my eyes. Before I can even register what's happening, he punches me in the face. *** Mature ContentComplete

The Hollow Sound
This is not an easy book to read. It shouldn't be. The halls of Hartman High are fiction. The echoes of gunfire you will hear are conjured by words. But the silence that follows - the hollow, reverberating silence of after- is a soundscape tragically familiar across our fractured world. It lives not just in communities shattered by Parkland, Uvalde, or Columbine, but in the streets of London after a frenzied stabbing spree, on the promenades of Nice where a truck plowed into crowds, in the markets of Baghdad ravaged by suicide vests, and in the bombed-out apartments of Kyiv. It lives wherever ideology, despair, or untreated rage erupts into violence that consumes the innocent. The Hollow Sound is a story born from a specific nightmare - a school shooting - but its terrifying resonance echoes a far wider, accelerating crisis. We are living in an age where violence metastasizes. Stabbings driven by personal vendettas or gang hatred spill onto our streets. Vehicles become weapons aimed at crowds by those claiming a "greater good." Suicide bombings, once distant horrors "over there," now represent a chillingly portable template for terror, a threat that ignores borders and could manifest anywhere, anytime. The drumbeat of war grows louder, promising only more shattered lives and deeper societal wounds. Radicalism, both political and personal, twists belief into justification for carnage. Terrorism, foreign and domestic, thrives in the fertile ground of alienation and grievance. Hartman High is fiction. But the underlying disease is global and terrifyingly real: The pervasive belief that violence is a valid solution; that inflicting pain on others can answer pain within; that destruction is the only path to being seen or heard.Complete

Their families were always joking that they'd get married one day...it wasn't a joke for them. It was a fact they both knew. Well, we all know what happens with plans made in your teenage years - they change, and it's expected...in a way. What Ali didn't expect was for her life to turn on its head and destroy her piece by piece. The bad news: the one who could glue her together didn't even know where she was. The worst news: even if he found her, she wasn't sure he'd be able to fix her... "The Bursting Heat" is Book 2 of the "SWAT Team" series. It can be read as a stand-alone.Complete
