"Can you tell us a bit about your situation?"
"Uh, yeah. I'd like to preface it with my belief that this is utter bullshit. So, douchepants over here is bound to me and we have to keep each other from dying or getting hurt so that we can save our own behinds. Some kinda genie-voodoo crap."
"At least it's getting you out of the library for once."
"That's not the point."
"It's A point."
"If only your life had one. Anyway, we're trying to figure out how to stop this stupid curse so that I don't have to hang around Jackass anymore."
"Ditto to you."
"Careful, Jack-Jack. You'll fall in love with me."
"Doubt it."

Calliope Becker was fine. Fine without relying on anyone else. She had herself and her plans, and that was all she needed. Artists don't need anyone to hold their hand while they paint.
Jack Lequeshin was content. Working part-time at the local comic book store sufficiently funded his hobby of building computers from spare parts.
Then she pulled the fire alarm.
All of the comfort and apathy crumbles as they try to keep the other person from getting hurt. They seek to destroy the spell placed on their family decades ago.

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

Abnormal Little Me (Completed)
"You actually thought you could get away from me, didn't you, Rishka?" I turned around, shaking. Sadist was standing there, a creepy smile on his face. No, this wasn't real, I was safe. He chuckled coldly. "You really think you have a soul-mate? Be realistic, no one wants you. A broken wolf, soiled by another one. Who would love such a thing? You're still unable to change to your wolf form. Are you even allowed to be call a werewolf? Come back here and maybe I'll be lenient." No, I have a soul-mate. He loves me. He told me. I believe him.

Clichés I have broken: √ Main character is special √ Main character's soulmate is the King √ Main character was abused √ Happy ending (Tell me if I forgot something and, damn, I did not expect to be so cliché D: ) Clichés I have NOT broken: √ Main character is rejected by her soulmate √ Main character rejects her soulmate √ Main character gets pregnant √ Main character's soulmate is the "bad boy" or "cruel" type √ "Mine"/ "Mate" he growled.

Love you all :) Also, if you ever have trouble with the weird names I gave my characters, there is a video of me saying their names in chapter 26.

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm.
