They say the Devil's greatest trick was convincing the world that he didn't exist.
But that was nothing compared to God's greatest trick.
What was that? I asked.
Convincing the world that an afterlife was what you wanted, until you got one.
***
When an outcast teen meets the wrong girl at the wrong time, he pays the price with his life. Dead and forgotten by the world, he wakes up floating in a coffin on his way to Limbo; a twilit realm where the misfits of the world go to live the lives they never could in life.
It's a world of outcasts and vagabonds, of misguided youth and unfulfilled dreams. A world with no rules or consequences. An infernal paradise.
There, he meets Alester, a enigmatic and misguided youth running from a twisted past. Together they set out on a dark and winding road through Limbo's underbelly; one that takes them through a cemetery of the unlived, a bazaar of endless greed, a house of insatiable lust and a forest of ceaseless wrath.
Along the way, they discover that their misguided choices in life may have had a greater impact than they ever imagined, as the consequences of their actions find a way to haunt them, even after death.

The Hellhound's Mate
When Jordan Parrish was drawn to the small town of Beacon Hills, he never expected to find the existence of the supernatural there. He never intended to find out that he was supernatural there. And he especially didn't expect to find her there. Angie Stilinski is the fiery daughter of the Sheriff, and the last person he was ever expected to kiss, much less fall in love with. But when she turns out to be the only person able and willing to help him discover what he is and how to control his powers, Jordan discovers that he has absolutely no control over how he feels about Angie. Similarly, Angie Stilinski has been through a lot, more than maybe even the Hale's some might say. And her past has left her guarded to everyone but her father, baby brother and childhood best friend, at least until Jordan comes around. But despite their ability to always find each other and a connection neither one can explain, in a town like Beacon Hills, there's no such thing as a fairytale happy ending. #1 in jordanparrish #1 in derekhale #2 in scottmccall #2 in hunters #5 in stilesstilinski #5 in teenwolf #9 in allison #25 in hellhound #26 in action-adventure #31 in mates (Teen Wolf: seasons 3B-6B) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or plotlines.

Until he comes once again with an irresistible offer only the biggest of fools would refuse...

We're Still Alive(Book1)BEING REWRITTEN
This book follows four teenagers from four different parts of the U.S. when their lives are dramatically changed one day. When zombies become real and more than just horror movies and scary books, they're forced to fight to stay alive. What they don't know is how similar their struggles are, along with their goal: get to the supposed safe haven alive. (The book is under editing right now, and I'll be changing the location of the safe haven from Columbus to Cincinnati. I didn't really think it through when I first wrote this but I think that Cincinnati would make a little more sense. Sorry for any confusion!) *************** BEING REWRITTEN I started writing this at 14, and it started out as something I made just for fun. The story was mostly imporvised, and I don't like how it's turned out. I've had a lot of new and hopefully more interesting ideas, and there's so much that I decided to rewrite the whole thing completely. The story will be very different but the characters will be the same for the most part. It'll have the same style of writing with the different points of view, but separated between books instead of chapters, and I already have a storyline laid for the first 2 or 3. I'm sorry for the people that like the original story and were hoping for more, so I won't be deleting this one. I'll update on my page once I start posting chapters of the new series.Complete
Sort of Dead
**This book features short, fun, snappy chapters** **Perfectly fine as a standalone** [Caution: may pack a couple of gutpunches.] "First things first: this is the story of how I die. Over and over again." __________________________________ Marra is NOT a vampire. He is a normal human, just like you. At least, that's what he tells himself. Life pits him against odds so bleak, that he'd rather die than face them. That's precisely the problem though. He just doesn't seem to . . . die. And now he's headed towards his worst nightmare, accompanied by a grumpy one-armed adult, a quippy spirit, a copperhead nerd, a sassy actor, a beagle, and a corpse. Welcome to his wacky world. Herein lies a hilarious, heartfelt, and first-hand account from Marra himself, ridden with characters to tickle your funnybone, witchraft to bewitch you, and loads of weird but laugh-out-loud stuff. Like, loads. Enjoy. ______________________________________ { Awesome cover by @jaszthewayyoulikeit } #completed ***All rights reserved: Do not recreate or plagiarise.
