Niaomi Douglas's life is a constant struggle. A struggle to keep her brother safe from their father, a struggle to stay out of way of the gangs at school, a struggle to stop hearing the voices in her head. Only one thing makes it all bearable: her knife.

Then she meets Nicholas Williams, whose too kind, too sincere, and too perfect to be hers. His touch is the only thing that can offer a substitute for her knife, and he seems just as interested in her as she refuses to be with him.

But his own life - and goals - are not as perfect as he appears to be. And with both of their bitter pasts haunting them, Niaomi and Nicholas will be forced to rise above the tide of their sorrows lest they drown within them.

"Knives Make Lives" is a tale of abuse, family, and the strive for perfection that drives us all. And it is this that will drive the two either into love...or into destruction.

If I Were Allowed To Love You by jackson_terrance

Since Melissa was born, she's never missed her aim. No matter where she aims one of her daggers or knives, she never misses her target, just like every other woman in her lineage. Being a champion knife thrower, Melissa has been ostracized from her school peers, but she doesn't care. All that matters is that she has her best friend Theo. When she meets librarian Ryan, Theo really wants her to date him. However, since Ryan is her best friend's brother, she doesn't want to date him. It would be a lot easier if Ryan came out as a werewolf to Melissa and explained that they were soulmates, but since he's afraid she'll feel forced to love him back, he wants to wait until she falls for him before he decides to tell her. That plan fails when she runs away from home to help make money to support her and her father. But when she comes back to town seven years later, it seems as though he has a second chance to be with his mate. And with Theo meeting his, it seems like fate is finally on their side. The only problem: Ryan and Theo's mates are now engaged to each other. Will Ryan and Theo have a happy ending with their mates, or will they never tell them the truth and let them be blissfully unaware forever? You have to set your love free, but if they come back, never let them go.

•《INVISIBLE STRING》• by Sassy-San

'There are plenty of ways to die, but only love can kill and keep you alive to feel it.'- Leo Christopher said and he felt that badly but in all these when he thinks about Neharika, it fucks him up. ------------------------- Sometimes we create our own heartbreaks through expectations that's what happened with her but the worst pain is being homesick for arms that don't want to hold you. She just hopes that when he thinks of her, it fucks him up. ------------------------- The collision of fire & the collection of hues that shines through the darkness and can only be seen by a few. In a world of strangers, you are an acquaintance on a piece of Invisible String. Was there some Invisible String that was tying us from all these years?

The Aid by funkystyles

❝In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish...❞ Evie Stanton dreamed of playing the bass for a living before a fateful winter night hurled her into adulthood at the age of eighteen.

Harry Moran had it all - a beautiful girlfriend, good looks, popularity. What no one could see behind his charm and sense of humor was a middle child who kept all of his problems to himself, even after receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis, so as not to be a burden to anyone around him. And then, the two meet. Art meets sports, heavy metal meets alternative rock, but more than anything, stubborn meets stubborn. Big-city girl with a savior complex meets small-town boy who simply refuses to be taken care of. Unstoppable force from Manhattan meets immovable object that has come to get on her nerves all the way from Colorado, and what better way to deal with it than to make her life all about saving his? // TW: serious illness, strong language, alcohol, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse

As they say 'Curiosity killed the cat' so what happens when she realizes that figuring out these secrets is putting her in danger, more than she could have ever imagined? ___________ C O V E R- @ska.w.barnes T R A I L E R- @auratics ___________ Highest Rank : #5 in Werewolf ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ® Copyright © 2016-2017 by XxRiah916Xx
