humour mystery thriller

Talia Lance was anything but your average teenage girl
While most girls tend to aim to get a boyfriend by the end of the year she aims to get top grades
After one whole night that goes horribly wrong and results in a 3 year torture hole
NO ONE can save her
The dark days of her haunting past defines who she is now
The blackness which she had been engulfed in...
The people she had dealt with..
The sins she had commited..
She has now let the darkness embrace her rather then let it hold her back
Until notorious playboy who's actually softie at heart, begins to pull back her facade
Piece by piece..
Layer by layer ..
To uncover who Talia Lance really is
She's afraid to let him into her dystopian world, afraid that it will destroy him too
But can she hold back her secrets any longer?



Ps:this is not a cliche where the girl falls for the boy and they end up living in a castle 2 years later, this is a story based on friendship,thriller and some mystery to keep the suspense going and not forgetting humour which is probably the main focus of the book anyways ... if ladies and gentlemen you were looking for a romantic,soppy  book which you're going to cry over while excessively stuffing your mouth with chocolate ,this is not the book you were looking for but keep the tissues, you're still probably going to need them...All Rights Reserved

(Sample. Watch out for the official book release on January 31, 2015!) The women in Brianne Montgomery's family have a curse. And she isn't going to be the first one to break it. At the age of fourteen, she decided she will be married before she was thirty. Her life seemed perfect. Her parents were happily married. She has a wonderful brother who looks out for her. The only thing she hates about it is Travis Cross, her brother's annoying best friend, a.k.a. the boy who sleeps in the guest room and her worst enemy. Her life took a sudden three-sixty, with a tragedy that made her lose everything she held dear in her perfect life. But amidst all that, Travis swore that he will protect Brianne for the rest of his life. Soon, their hate relationship turned into an unbreakable bond of brotherly love and friendship. But their dependent and comfortable friendship will always be complicated because although Travis promised to protect her at all times, at all costs, there's a beast inside him that craves for Brianne like a drug. And Brianne isn't always immune to Travis's charms. But she already lost so much and Travis has become the most important thing she couldn't afford to gamble with. This romance novel starts when the characters were fifteen years old and followed their lives into adulthood and all the complications in it including sexual tensions and raging hormones, dealing with family, death and teen peer pressure... all of which make up the deep and unbreakable connection of Travis and Brianne. A relationship so beautiful, they're afraid to risk it for anything... not even for love itself.

Mated To My Brother ✔ by StarfireStone

3rd and 1st Person Point Of View (POV) Book - Semi-Cliché - NOT incest ------------------------------ The hunt. It came every year like clockwork. A time of year were wolves from different packs come together in teams or solo to show their strength. Some survive, some die. It's up to them if they want a rank higher than an Omega. Scarlet. An orphan adopted into an Alpha's home. Treated like family but never felt like family has trained for years for her eighteenth birthday to arrive so that she can prove her worth and make a name for herself. Not anyone else. But when your curiosity gets the best of you on finding your real parents, will you take it? When you have a chance to finally meet the people who gave you away, will you meet them? It's a choice Scarlet has to make to find out the truth behind her past. So which is it, the hunt or finding her parents? *Mature Themes Warning: This book has been rewritten! It contains Mature Themes and (some) violence, if you are sensitive to that kind of action please find another book. There will be no warnings. THIS IS CLICHÉ! It follows a story line similar to 99.9% of Wattpads werewolf books! I wrote this when I was young and hopped on the trend of cliché werewolf books. This isn't the best nor do I think it is. This is not an incest related book. Both main characters are in no way related. *Not Proofread, will be mistakes

The Villainess by IceFontana18

Amazing cover made by: Geksxx Talia grew up without trusting anyone but herself to live. With no father figure to look up to and a clinically depressed mother who keeps on betraying her, Talia crawls her way to the top of the social chain to survive. But one drunken night, she meets her terrible end. Just like that, Talia loses all she worked hard for, or so she thought. When she wakes up, she becomes a duke's eldest daughter in a medieval era where alliances and conspiracies dictate a noble's future and where love is a luxury that will lead anyone to ruin. No matter how twisted the world she is pushed into, Talia is determined to live long. She realizes that she is given a second chance to live - or not. Reality slaps her hard when she learns that she is now inside the body of a sixteen-year-old villain character of the Netflix series that she binge-watched, "Thorny Crown"! Talia, who is now the infamous Lady Victoria, entered a popular yet twisted Netflix series two years before the plot started. And in that plot, the character of Lady Victoria is meant to die like cannon fodder for the female lead! Talia refuses to die again. And this time, she is going to extend her helping hand to another side character, the second prince of the story, Prince Cory. She decides to be the queen and defy the plot called destiny with the king of her choosing. In an era of deceit and conspiracies, will she be able to keep her head as she walks the thorny path of a villain? With her head on the line, will she be able to control her blooming feelings for the pawn that she has chosen?
