What is it about Kuda that makes her different? 

Dr Kuda Chilume's life in a small village called Jakalas II, in Botswana, has been ordinary, more or less. She thinks she's normal. Believes it actually, but strange things keep happening to her. The closer she gets to her thirtieth birthday, the more atypical her life becomes. As the secrets of her birth and life start emerging, the more she realises just how much her life is anything but ordinary.

When the good Dr Jake Dawn comes to Jakalas II, his first confrontation with Kuda sets a tone for their relationship going forward. Intense dislike at first sight is an understatement but what they don't know is that they have to work together to resolve the strangeness that has always been a part of Kuda's life. 

While Kuda wants to strangle him three quarters of the time, she is inexplicably drawn to him. What she doesn't know is that both their lives depend on the decisions that the both of them have to make.

Choosing Jada [Book 2] by KindaWerid

A dead woman walking would make anyone do a double take. She never thought she would see him again. He never thought she could have survived. More questions left than answers Jada and Alessio must finally work together. Nothing was right in the world without Jada in it and now nothing was right with her in it either. Book Excerpt: "Where are you trying to take me? You snagged us up, but where are we going," She asked pointedly. "To my grandparent's home." "That's a terrible idea. We need a safe place to go, not somewhere so obvious." "My grandfather knows important people. Trust me, he's the safest place in Italy we could be." "No, I won't just blindly follow your lead. I won't risk my sons life on something like that." "And where would you go? How would you be any safer? If it wasn't for me, our son would be long gone. You have no resources. You have nothing. Somehow, I am the bad guy!" "Yes you're the fucking bad guy, you can't trip me into marriage and then putting me through hell as I tried my best to survive. You're the bad guy because I never agree to be with a criminal master mind or whatever you do. I have no idea. I don't know anything about you. I was cheated on and lied to just as much. Don't go blaming your hurt feelings all on me. You started this. You are the reason. I'm finally reacting to the way you treated me! I was delusional, scared, and confused. You isolated me from my people. I wasn't okay. I've been ripped from the life I knew!" [In Progress 4/19/24- ] Rankings #118 Man #44 deathandlife #5 lovetragedy

The Withering by poojawrites

Only Sarah is privy to the truth that while others believe the devil has been vanquished, she alone bears the burden of knowing it has seamlessly slipped into a new vessel, ready to wreak havoc once more. Sarah carries a burden so heavy that not even her husband, Ayaan, knows about it. This secret weighs on her like an anchor, dragging her down into the depths of despair. It's a sorrowful tale she keeps locked away in the deepest corners of her soul, a narrative of pain and loss that Ayaan could never fathom. The shadows of her past loom large, casting a dark cloud over any hope for redemption. Amidst this darkness, sinister whispers echo in Sarah's mind, weaving a web of deceit and shame that threatens to suffocate her spirit. Will the shadows that cling to her spirit ever loosen their grip? Or will they continue to coil around her, suffocating the light within her until it flickers out entirely?
