It's exam time but feisty Nigerian Secondary School (High School) Senior, Maro has more things to worry about than being weak at Math when a special "thing" is stolen from her - the thing that protects her life as a supernatural being called an Abiku - a thing that she wants back so badly that she dangerously enlists the help of a reincarnated witch, a Deity and a... cobbler?
"Abiku is a Yoruba word that can be translated as "predestined to death".
It is from (abi) "that which possesses" and (iku) "death".
Abiku refers to the spirits of children who die before reaching puberty; a child who dies before twelve years of age being called an Abiku, and the spirit, or spirits, who caused the death being also called Abiku."

Silently Falling
Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written.

The Circle Girls
There are certain known facts about vampires. They revile change. They are obsessive-compulsive. They are illogical. They are cursed. They will burst into flames in sunlight. They are dying. With less than a hundred vampires left in the world, Yasuko is a rare breed. More importantly, she's a protected breed, preserved and sheltered thanks to a centuries-old mistake that the government wants everyone to forget. Regardless of what others hope, she knows that extinction is a slow but sure thing, yet a change of situation brings with it an awful and chilling reminder: the death of the vampires includes the death of her sister. And someone is determined to make sure that happens. *updates every Monday* MATURE: language, violence and themesLengkap
The Evening Of The Morning
It was a dangerous night for Squad 4or, as usual, mounted on a checkpoint by a road bordered by bushes on both sides. But, thieves, kidnappers, and bribery, they already strategized for, but what they saw...who they saw after mere little boys ambushed them, left the little boys dead and Agbo; a blooder in Squad 4or, stricken that he didn't sleep for four days; as something he loved doing, it was appalling he didn't touch his wife. The attack had left him tethering at the brink of life and death with three nuts lodged in lethal areas in his stomach, but the man they saw, who warned them never to say his name out loud, made him cross the line easily and his chest began to rise and fall again. That he could lie beside his wife and eat with his family, adding his only son, was appalling to him. His wife wouldn't understand. Touching her down there or having her nipple in his mouth wasn't even close to what he thought about. He thought about a man and he couldn't stop thinking about this man. This man who the book is about, this man who tells tales of his past life, this man who is strong, but always reminds Agbo that something is stronger. And dreadfully, that something was coming. It is also about me, the poor, sacrificial lamb, it is about me, the host of the Almighty.Lengkap
My Beloved Kitsune
Belicia Brooks grew up in a loving, but mundane home. As an only child Belicia didn't take well to abstract events or drama and anything that upset her routine lifestyle was strictly prohibited. By her. But a secret lurked within her family. A family ancestry she knew nothing about and powers she was born with would soon surface, bringing with it a kind of chaos she never imagined. The new guy in her school wasn't like anyone she had ever known. His presence sparked things in Belicia she'd had yet to experience. Like turmoil. And confusion. And, telepathy? Thankfully, she had her best friend Ava Avila to confide in. But would Ava be on her side, or, as Ava was known for loving gossip and drama, could Belicia trust her enough to tell her about her inner dialogue with the new guy? ___________________ An ancient family secret is about to be exposed. In the unsuspecting suburb of Kingsley Summit, Washington, the local high school becomes a battleground of wills when it is discovered the fated mate of a powerful Kitsune family lives in the United States of America.

Especially the rural communities. So when a young girl comes from the city to the village, and it is discovered, through a series of unfortunate events, that she won't cry, even when induced, things take a downward spin for her, as she finds herself from Osun State to Kogi State, and then Enugu State. © This book is a work of fiction. •°•°•° 🏆 Honorable Mention in The Ruby Awards 2019 (4th place) #WattNigeria #WattysNG2020 Updates on Weekends.Lengkap
