Ava is your average city girl. Busy, hard working, but even the slightest part of her busy mind can't get her away from the terrible secret she has been hiding from everyone.
Ava is a nurse at the downtown London hospital, called St. Marybeth's. She loves her job, and it felt like everything was easy. That was until she got a new patient in room 204. She tries to stay away from the patient, but has to tend to her. The little girl is a nine year old named hope who has neuroblastoma, which is a cancer common in children, that allows cancer cells to spread in the body tissue. One day, Ava has to bring Hope her lunch. She walks into the room and sees Hope peacefully sleeping. She sets her tray down and starts to walk out of the room when she hears a tiny weak voice call out, "are you here to read to me?"
Hope can be Ava's chance to reveal her secret and let go of it, but could Hope really the bad guy, or is it just Ava.

21 parts Ongoing Mature
Hope Young is a 23 year old, living in LA. She's a selfish, self absorbed and cold-hearted person. She loves having the money, the clothes and the big house. At least that's what she tries to make everyone think, though the truth is, it's all just an act to stop anyone from getting close. But the question is; will she ever take that mask off and be the warm-hearted person she really is? What happens when someone comes knocking on Hope's door; disguised as an innocent school girl, only for Hope to do what she always does and treats her just like every other person and slams the door in her face. Except what Hope didn't know is that this 'girl' isn't just any ordinary girl, in fact, she is a powerful witch and her name is Karma and she loves to find people like Hope to teach them a lesson; in hope to either change them or break them. Hope didn't realise that the moment she slammed that door shut on Karma, was the moment her entire world would forever change as she gets pulled into the supernatural world that she never knew existed. Once the witch curses Hope, she gives her 90 days to prove that she can be selfless, compassionate, fearless, loving, open, honest and most of all, forgiving and accepting, but in doing so, she will have to face all that she's been running from for the last 6 years, which means that she'll have to face what changed her into the closed off person that she became in the first place and with each bad thing that she does from day one will have a karmic consequence. If she succeeds and becomes who she is destined to be by the final day, then the curse will break, but if she fails, she will die and the witch will entrap her soul for all eternity. Will Hope survive Karma's curse and will she be able to cope with what she faces along the way, including the shocking truth about herself and those around her? She may have 90 Days of Karma but with the help of her friends, each one starts to slowly get taken over by Hope.

Victor's touch ignited both irritation and an inexplicable warmth within me as he rubbed the sore spot with a tenderness that caught me off guard. "You just can't help it."

(FINISHED WRITING, BEING REVISED!) An only child, by the name of Nathaniel, has a very unfortunate life. Unpopular, bullied, and outcasted by everyone at school; even his own parents didn't want him! He's miserable... At least that was until his eighteenth birthday where he has the most bizarre encounter. A break-in at his own home from an organization that holds a secret from the entire world! Now, he attempts to find his life's purpose, coming across many friends as well as enemies, many obstacles, great pain, deep love, and important life lessons. It's up to him to decide whether or not he's the one in control of his own life. !!!CAUTION!!! IF YOU ARE ONE TO READ BOOKS BY THE LAST CHAPTER TO SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, CHAPTERS TOWARD THE END OF THIS BOOK CONTAIN HUGE SPOILERS THAT MAY RUIN OR ALTER THE DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND ENJOYMENT AND IF YOU STILL WISH TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER I SUGGEST CHAPTER 53! Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.

[FAST PACED] [Note:this book may contain errors. So, please bare with me..] ~~~ Ava Rawlins is a 20 years old woman, who just recently got diagnosed with cancer. It sort of runs in the family, in a way. Her grandpapi died of cancer 10 years ago and it was a hard time for her whole family, because he was such an free spirited man and was always smiling through it all. She wished that she was as strong as her grandpapi, with her being transferred from hospital to hospital, because her parents wanted to get her the best medical help possible. When she feared for the worst and all was lost, she met Rivera Douglas, which was her doctor at Newtons Hospital, where her parents decided that it should be her permanent one, seeing how they liked what they saw and everyone was just good there, and the atmosphere wasn't all that dull, it was always lively, despite it being a hospital at all. Rivera Douglas is a 30 years old women, who has been divorced for 3 years now. She wasn't in a rush to get into any kind of relationship and was basically in a relationship with her job, so to speak. She loves what she does and helps her patients take their mind off of the darker things, especially Ava. She would always make Ava feel some type of way without her knowing it and it always made Ava feel like she wasn't even sick at all, which is why Ava had a secret crush on her, hating the fact that it won't last that long... What do you think will happen in this complicated love story? Will it have a happy ending or not..? We just gotta wait and see.
