The Shrinker by PSGusto1926

On her 16th birthday, abandoned outcast Jamie Cooper gets three surprise gifts. The first is the awakening of a long dormant power inside her; she is an incomplete size-shifter, with a near limitless talent for shrinking whatever she wants, but a total inability to grow a thing or restore anything shrunken. The second is an unexpected first meeting with a new transfer student on their first day of sixth form school, with whom she falls in love. The third are nightmarish visions of a sadistic, remorseless size-shifter with an obsession for cannibalism and a power far greater than hers. As the year goes on, the small town of Vorford is hit by a series of sudden disappearances, giving rise to fears of a serial killer within it. Faced with constant internal and outward struggles, Jamie must decide between her morals or her desires, pushing her into a final shattering choice everyone's lives depend on. ***** [Word Count: 110,000] **THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT FORMAT, AND IS 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT WORK, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

The Skylar Experiment : The "X" in Apex by NoppityNope666

---Book of the Month 2018 winner in the sci-fi category from awardofthemonth2018--- ---1st place winner in teen fic Writer's Circle Awards by concinnitycircle--- A/N: This book is action-packed with a sprinkle of mystery all wrapped in a science-fiction teen drama! I know. It's quite a mouthful. Cue the summary! *** Skylar is born with predetermined odds against her. She's been isolated since birth from her true nature and her peers in the name of an experiment. A change of plans cause the people in charge to order her relocation to Oakwood, a microscopic town swarming with mutants like her. They silently follow her journey as Riley is confronted to strange locals, a boy that hates her guts and nightmarish monsters lurking around her house. Throughout the series, she slowly but surely discovers truths about herself she could never fathom... and that there is a daunting trap waiting to snap. One life. One experiment. Endless lies. Some cussing and violence invovled. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK OF A SERIES AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY DARKER 😈 Disclaimer : My story is inspired from Jennifer Armentrout's series Lux (basically, credits to her because this wouldn't exist otherwise). There are many differences but also several similarities. The plot isn't centered the same, either way. I just have fun writing and twisting up my favorite elements.

[1] ALEXA, and her hell ✓ [Editing] by heThium

[Book One of The Phantom Saga] PG18+ Status: Completed [August 2, 2020]/Editing In Process "Daddy, where're you going? You're all dressed up and you have luggage. You're not coming back, are you?" The brunette man, with brown eyes of two different shades, looks down at his seven year old child. She hasn't stepped foot in a school before, but she has made herself out to be a genius and he knows this. Still, he tries to convince her, lying through his drug decaying teeth, "Daddy will be back soon, don't worry." Alessia narrows her gaze of chocolate brown and sky blue, telling him flatly, "No. Don't come back." Mentally forsaken from the moment she learned to think for herself, Alessia Sterling strives for only herself, no matter what comes her way. At least, that's what she had planned, until a man, powerful enough to sway her young mind, claims her as his own and she looks up to him as her saviour. Along the road of her new life, she meets others, forsaken like her, but none could compare to her. And she meets a blind boy who sees. "Run away with me." He bites out, clicking his tongue. Caught between following her saviour's alluring words and hearing the concerned boy who's speaking of freedom, she has to choose, quickly. Make a choice before things escalate to a point... "ALEXA!" She whips around and her eyes go wide with terror. ...of no return. Warning: The WHOLE story MAY be triggersome.

Navigating teenage life is hard enough-- an older brother who doesn't have his life together, parents that never seem to be around the house, adventuring with the BEST friend in the world, meeting the cute boy who just moved in down the street --all while trying to be "normal." For Eva May, normality in this day to day life is anything but possible. Eva was born with a curse, or as the world would see it (if they even knew), a gift. Above the head of everyone she sees, she can see a countdown. A clock ticking down the years, days, hours, minutes, seconds until they die. As Eva interacts with people and sees people interact with each other, she can watch the rhythm of their clocks slow or quicken depending on what is going on. A day can turn sour when she sees a clock with only a few hours left, or can turn into a celebration when she slows or stops the ticking of someone's timer. In "expired," Eva meets Clay Walker, the typical boy next door who loves his dad, bikes, and adventures with no direction. As Eva gets to know Clay, she notices something is a bit off with his clock: the more she befriends him, the faster it goes. How can Eva try and help Clay, and what will happen as their relationship develops and his time starts ticking down? Find out in Brianna M. Cruz's teen romance novel, "expired."
