1980s demon devil family fanatic midwest mystery religion religious runaway satan summer

Get a sneak peek of The Summer That Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel! 

Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil.

Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered thirteen-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, assuming he's a runaway from a nearby farm town.

When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him and tensions rise, along with the temperature as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him. As strange accidents start to occur, riled by the feverish heat, some in the town start to believe that Sal is exactly who he claims to be. While the Bliss family wrestle with their own personal demons, a fanatic drives the town to the brink of a catastrophe that will change this sleepy Ohio backwater forever.All Rights Reserved

Now that they are left alone, Cece questions the validity of his explanations. She has feelings for him, but are they out of jealousy, lust, or because he looks identical to her husband? After the abduction and then the explosion, Cece can barely take much more. If he truly loved her this is when the truth should come out. The stories he weaves cannot be factual. There is no way she could have been so blind. Who is this man? Are they the same? Why won't anyone tell her what is going on?

Painless by BrittTheBookSlayer

Bliss has always been different. Because of a condition called CIPA, she’s never felt pain–no headaches, no cramps, no charlie horses. She also can’t sweat, cry or even play sports without endangering her life. And the worst part? She knows she has an expiration date, and it is probably fairly soon -- most people like her don't live past the age of 18. So, what's a girl to do? Well, if you're Bliss, you give the world the finger and decide to live life on your own terms. For her, this means training with her top-secret government agent mom in the art of hand-to-hand combat, and convincing her mad scientist dad to invent a special suit that will let her seek out the world's dangers without overheating and biting the big one. She is determined to take the world on, fighting the “bad guys” and leaving her mark during the short time she has. But when an old friend from CIPA camp asks her to help track down others like them who've suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances, her reckless lifestyle is put to the ultimate test. Especially when the junior government agent-in-training her mom assigns to help them with the case turns out to be totally hot--and totally into her. Torn between her feelings of anger toward the life she's been dealt and the one she could have if she just let others in, Bliss takes off on a mission that might just be her last.

She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

I Accept You As You Are (Tomco) by Pvvppie

It had to have been the absolute hottest day of the year over in America's third largest state. The temperature in California that day had reached a scorching 105 degrees, and heat advisories had been set in multiple areas, including this one. Though, heat like this wasn't really something that bothered this demon as he stood outside, sunglasses in place, face up towards the sun. Tom wasn't fazed, in fact, being the demon that he was, he usually bathed in fire - showered in it on days he was in a rush. Today was one of those days as he lit fire under his feet and snapped his fingers together, showing up in the Diaz's household within seconds. He figured Star and Marco may have been bored out of their minds and dying from the heat, and who better to annoy them than the coolest demon alive? He wasn't much of a helper, but figured today he'd let himself just this one time, plus he hadn't seen his friends in some time. -------------------------------------------------------- (THIS IS A REWRITE OF AN ALREADY EXISTING STORY OF MINE!! I don't suggest reading the old one as it was written several years ago and makes me CRINGE. Whether you're new, or coming back for the rewrite I welcome you! And enjoy!) !!Also this story DOES contain explicit nsfw after Chp 5!! (Cover art by: Elentori)
