**Old story, collecting dust on my shelf, and looking for some fresh eyes :) **
If the world wasn't falling apart, 17-year old Dani Clarke would be living a normal life as a teenager on Manitoulin Island. But years of savage storms have done a lot to change things. They've left most plant life and water sources dried up in the drought that's followed. They've decimated the world's populations, first with famine, then with global and civil wars fought over dwindling resources. They've made people like Dani refugees within their own countries. And according to Canada's new Sponsored Cities Act, refugees have to earn their chance to survive.
When she and her family seek asylum in London, Ontario, Dani learns the price she has to pay for her family's safety and her own: a two-year term of service as a Sentry, one of the scouts deployed with the military supply convoys that travel between government-sponsored cities through the treacherous No Man's Land that separates them. Alongside fellow Sentries and allies among their convoy's soldiers, Dani struggles against brutality on both sides of the city walls, hoping to live to see things come back from the brink.
What none of them realize is that this is only the beginning. The people living in No Man's Land, known as outliers, aren't as scattered and helpless as they're believed to be. They've organized, and they have their own plans to survive. Even if it means shattering what's left of the country to do it.

Her Mysterious Ways
Cole the Not So Stereotypical Jock Being the most popular guy that girls all want to be with and all guys want to be should make you feel on top of the world, right? Not always, especially if you have to keep the fact that you can barely afford food a secret at all costs. And then the new girl shows up with her amazing dance moves and intoxicatingly confusing logic, and he can't seem to get her out of his head. She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.Complete
|2| Broken Beta {Paul Lahote}
Juliana walked along First Beach, where the pack had their meeting place. But she was for once, the abnormally quiet one of the pack. There was only one thing, that could have possibly kept them both this quiet, and it hadn't been seen at all, since they had imprinted on one another. But, no one could tell who or what had broken the Beta and her best friend this time, since neither had shared anything with the pack about it. No one else knows, except the Broken Beta herself. 《Book 2》 Juliana Carter Black has only quite recently learned of her true parentage being the daughter of Billy and Sarah Black, and more importantly to the elders and the werewolf pack alike, their red wolf of the legend. She is stronger than most, bigger then nearly all of the wolves except for Sam since he was the biggest of them, Jacob and Paul. Paul's wolf form grew and it was only after they had each imprinted, that it was more powerful and connected to each other. Juliana was unsure of what to do with her life before she was aware of her real parentage, but now, it was arguably worse, since she had closer bonds to everyone, within the pack, then she had ever realized before. She must navigate this new and tension-filled reality, while keeping her temper and her imprinted best friend in check, and finally settling into the role as the Beta, that she knew the pack needed her to be for them. Oh, and having a little kid in the pack is great as well. Now, what could possibly go wrong with that? {PLEASE read |1| Broken Glass before reading this book it will make much more sense to you if you do. I own nothing except Juliana, Jessica and the 'Old Pack' and their plots.}Complete

Outcasts
Cassidy lives like most other under 21s - she follows the law. She knows that if she doesn't, she risks being taken away. Rebellious behaviour cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, especially with her parents watching her every move. The rules have been in place for a long time - the Democrats have beaten the Republicans in the New Elections for the past 60 years, with their names being the only recognisable aspects of their parties when comparing to the past. Anyone that chooses not to follow the rules can drop out and become what's known as an Outcast, but then you risk being imprisoned. While America seems to be running perfectly under these laws, a rebellion is stirring among the professionals. With secrets and lies in government and families alike to change the future of America forever, Cassidy finds herself caught up in the middle of the all out war that is about to break out. What she thought she knew about her world is about to change forever, bringing everyone she knows down with her. DISCLAIMER 2016/2017: This book is a few years old at this point, and due to the political uproar in American in 2016 I feel the need to make this abundantly clear. Outcasts takes place in a dystopian world in an undetermined year in the future, and the political parties depicted in this story - the Republicans and the Democrats - are in no way, shape or form a commentary on their real-life counterparts. I had very little knowledge of American politics when I wrote this story, and if I could go back and change their names I would. Throughout the story you will read of absurd flaws in both party agendas, and in no way did I ever intend to shame or defame the real life Republican and Democratic parties of America. See them as purely fictitious - that's what they are, after all.Complete

The Alpha's... What?
(Yo this story is really crusty and I promise I am working in editing it - some characters may different as well as the plot line but like I cringe every time I read it, plus I wrote this like four years ago which is a long af time. so please feel free to read but like heads up its cringey af) -- Grace Nickens is part of the strongest wolf pack in America. Located in the chilly state of Washington, the Royal Moon's pack is soon to led by future Alpha, Sam Kourt. Sam Kourt is the typical bad-ass soon to be Alpha, but Grace is quite the girl. Her fiery personality, yet compassionate heart leads to an unforgettable and complete mess by the end Sam's 17th birthday bash. Of course there is the obvious part where Sam rejects her to keep living the dream of being future Alpha, having sex with random girls, and not being tide down to one mate. So that just leaves Grace to do the cliche thing and stay with her Aunt while she tries to mend her broken heart. 6 months and 3 years is a long time apart. Especially in this case... ************************************************** ©Maddie_4 original story. All rights reserved to Maddie_4. All character names and story plot are mine!

The Blades of Salkesh: The Whispering Citadel
Dani was never anyone special-at least, that's what the world made her believe. Bullied and overlooked in high school, she spent her days wrapped in old sweaters, buried in books, and enduring relentless torment from Lacey, the school's cruelest queen bee. One day, the bullying turned fatal-a shove, a fall, and darkness. But death was not the end. Dani awakens in Salkesh, a realm of wild magic, ancient forests, and whispering dragons. Pulled across worlds by an unknown force, she finds herself in a land where magic pulses through the earth and the stars remember forgotten gods. She's discovered by Mira, a hardened rogue orphaned by the streets, who takes Dani under her wing after glimpsing a strange light flickering in her green eyes. They are soon joined by others: Leo, a grieving elven druid who once tended the sacred World Tree; Taren, a former paladin broken by guilt and failure; Larimar, a Sunborn cleric bound to duty but learning to feel; and Belynna, a merfolk swordmaster betrayed by her own blood. Each carries pain, secrets, and purpose-but they unite to protect Dani, whose magic is unlike anything the realm has seen in centuries. She is the final Dawn Bearer, chosen by Eos, the forgotten Goddess of Dawn. The light that flows through her is ancient and divine-a last spark meant to rekindle hope in a world teetering on the brink. Their journey lies at the center of a growing darkness, the Whispering Citadel, once a holy sanctuary, now corrupted by void magic and the blood of sacrificed mages. It is there that a malignant force gathers-one that hungers for Dani's light. As her powers awaken, Dani evolves from a frightened, forgotten girl into a beacon of defiance and hope. Through every wound, sacrifice, and choice, she discovers her strength was never in what the world denied her-but in what she dares to become. And when the end comes, it is her dawn that must rise.Complete
