"Shadows are not nearly as harmless as they may seem."
-•-
"Forget what your teachers and parents told you about shadows. It's all a lie. They were trying to save your skin by making you ignorant. I'm trying to save your skin by enlightening you. If you chose to keep reading you will fear the dark once again. If you choose to continue living as an ignorant soul...well, they can still get you."
-•-
Avery White has feared the dark all of her life. She hated the nighttime, she hated rainy days, and she hated shadows.
She had never been able to explain her fears...or at least, not to normal people. No one would believe her, because they couldn't see what she could see. The faces. The hands. The people.
Darkness has always been associated with evil. But no one really knows the true meaning behind it. Avery didn't either. Until she met the Hunters.
Darkness spreads as evil grows. The more Avery learns, the more she fears. The more dangerous she becomes.
Never underestimate the poor soul you know who fears the dark. They see much more than you do, after all.
But remember. They can still find you.

Forever (Book 1) (Editing)

The Player's Game {Book #1 of the Popular Boys series}
I heard you're a player. So let's play a game. Let's sweet talk. Let's play fight. Let's talk 24/7. Let's tell each other good morning and good night every day. Let's take walks together. Let's give each other nicknames. Let's hang out with each others friends. Let's go on dates. Let's talk on the phone all night. Let's hold each other. Let's kiss and hug. And whoever falls in love first? Loses. If you asked anyone to describe Avery Harrison in three words, everyone would say; sarcastic, care-free, and stubborn. Everybody tends to love her, why? Because she's fun and always has something hilarious to say... Unless she doesn't like you of course, then you might call her; snide, sharp and bitchy. If you did the same with Hunter Matthews it would definitely be: hot, gorgeous, beautiful, and nearly everyone would miss the slight detail that he's a player. That one slight detail is the entire reason Avery hates him, he threw girls away like old tissues, why would she? But with one scheming best friend, they are both pushed into playing 'The Game' with a prize for whoever wins. They pretend to date and whoever falls, loses. The question is: who will lose, the girl against love or the player?lComplete

Shadow Breeds
Book 1 of The Shadow Series. Myths, that's what the humans called it, but for Ashe it quickly became her reality. Her life changing transformation narrowed her paths down to two; She could either embrace her fates and save the people she's grown to love, or she can walk away and live a somewhat normal life while others suffer the consequences. How far is she willing to go to create peace where there's never been any? Will she even create peace? Or will she help encourage the most brutal war the Shadow Realms have ever experienced? Several years of Asheland's childhood had disappeared from her memory. She assumed it was her brain trying to protect her from a traumatic event, although that's true it's not exactly what she expected and her brain wasn't necessarily the cause. After being homeless until she was sixteen years old, then living in a boat dock for four years, she had finally found her home in a cottage in the near-by mountains of Wolf Creek. Everything seemed to be going well. However, as a list of secrets begin unraveling when Ashe gives in to her overwhelming urges to visit the island that terrified almost every citizen in Wolf Creek, her life becomes more complicated than she could've ever imagined. All of this just because she was turning twenty-one. Nothing was as it had ever seemed. * excerpt from the book * { "Why do you make such reckless, impulsive decisions?" The old man asked as we watched the moon. "The world could end tomorrow and everyone expects me to live in fear today? There's no life to live inside the box of fear, there's no freedom in there," I replied softly. }Complete
