Leslie was raised solely by her loving, but mysterious mother, Sheryl Locks. They seemed to be all each other had in the whole world, until Leslie was 18, and her mother was killed in a fiery car accident. The young woman felt absolutely alone--until she realized... she wasn't.
A stalker emerged and began dictating her life. For 8 long years, she lived in his command. Terrified, threatened, and no way to find out what was going on in her life, she became a robot. Living where ever HE wanted her to, doing whatever HE said when his letters came. She could feel him watching her, constantly. She never knew what to expect; she was anxious, scared, started having panic attacks, and was always looking over her shoulder. Leslie tried to live a normal life--school, work, friends--but bad things followed her, and so did HE.
Now, she is 26 with a career, apartment, and cat. It's been two whole years since the stalker has made any contact... until she receives an email. Her life spirals out of control. This time, he wants to make an appearance. This time, he wants her to come with him. This time, she begins to unravel a web of secrets, lies, death, and more!
Will Leslie ever find out who HE is? Will she ever find out who SHE really is?

Moments not Mine
Esme was the last person to see her best friend alive. Now, everyone-friends, family, even the police-suspects her of a crime she didn't commit. Desperate to prove her innocence, she uncovers a hidden digital world her best friend had kept secret: a web of fake accounts, cryptic messages, and untold clues. One account, in particular, becomes her lifeline-a place where her best friend confided, joked, and dropped hints about her life. Here, Esme meets someone unexpected; actually two someones: two mysterious guys who help her piece together the puzzle, but neither of them knows what the other looks like. Every conversation is charged with curiosity, trust, and tension, as they navigate messages, hidden posts, and the shadows of a life Esme never truly knew. In a world where everyone is suspect and nothing is as it seems, Esme must follow the digital breadcrumbs to uncover the real killer-and maybe discover a connection she never expected. Author's Note 💌 Hey lovely readers! ✨ First off, thank you so much for opening Moments Not Mine. This story has been swirling in my head for a while, and I finally decided to put it all down for you to experience. Esme's journey is mysterious, tense, and kinda emotional-so buckle up 😅. She's just an ordinary girl caught in extraordinary circumstances, and I hope you enjoy every twist, clue, and secret she uncovers. Oh, and a little heads-up: there's a lot of online mystery, secrets, and a tiny dash of tension (and maybe some sparks 😏), so keep your eyes peeled and your theories ready. Thanks for reading, for commenting, for theorizing, and just for vibing with this story. Your support means the world 💛. Stay curious, -Esme's very nervous but excited author 😅💫
Broken Shell Of Hope
Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.Complete

Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
