Stalk To Death [ Short Ver ]
✎ Completed ──── In the heart of Bangkok, where neon lights flicker over dark alleyways and the Chao Phraya River carries whispers of secrets, War finds himself drawn to a man he should have never noticed. It started as a fleeting curiosity-watching from a distance, following the quiet figure who moved through the streets like a ghost. Yin was different. He didn't belong to the ordinary rhythm of the city. He disappeared into the night, leaving behind only silence... and bodies. War should have looked away. He should have walked the other direction. But instead, he followed. And Yin let him. Because from the very beginning, Yin knew. A game unfolds between them-one of obsession, danger, and something neither of them can name. War isn't a cop. He isn't a detective. He has no reason to chase a killer through the shadows of Bangkok. But he does. And when Yin finally turns to face him, smiling like he knows all of War's secrets, the truth becomes clear: War was never the hunter. He was always the prey. In a city where love is dangerous, trust is a death sentence, and one wrong move could mean the end-who will fall first? ──── Stalk To Death is a Thai BL thriller that explores obsession, morality, and a love that was never meant to exist. ──── ⚠ do not copy without my permission ⚠ ──── Started : 1st February 2025 Ended : 3rd February 2025 ──── © Stalk To Death by 丽洪 [ Lee Hung ]Complete

Because I Love You✔️
They say love conquers all. His shattered the fabric of reality and began a world-altering change that would eventually shift the concept of life and death forever. 🌺💛👑💛🌺 Phil wasn't exactly the best at being the boy-next-door. Shy, clumsy, and highly insecure with his life as a whole - he was the complete opposite of his girlfriend, a bubbly nerd named Ella. But like Yin and Yang, the two of them were inseparable... at least, until the night of Ella's sixteenth birthday, when she died in his arms after an unexpected shooting. Traumatized and blinded by grief, Phil took his own life only three months later on his seventeenth birthday, but instead of finding his much-expected peace in the afterlife, he somehow ended up on a parallel world called Atlas as an almost monstrous-looking version of himself. Trapped in the kingdom of Aerika, a bizarre place chock full of things like magic, elves, orcs, demons, faeries, squirrel-riding women, assassins, a tyrannical hierarchy, and everything else under the sun, he finds himself very confused and depressed. But before he can begin to make sense of anything, he's captured and caged like an animal by a ruthless girl who looks and sounds exactly like his late girlfriend. Is this his own, personal hell? Or is it a second chance? And if it is a second chance... does he even want to take it? (Highest Ranking - #8 in Fantasy!!!!! ❤) (TRAILER INSIDE) Copyright © by Aaron Ledgers.

The Medium
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.Complete
