Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Because I crave total escape. The type of drunk and high where I wouldn't even recognize my own face in the mirror, and then screw someone into oblivion. Those nights are when I'm at my darkest, and the only people I'm willing to expose to that are those that are expendable. Nameless. Faceless. They're just a body for me to use to bring me to the ecstasy I need to escape my past. My reality is pretty freaking fantastic if you ask me. ***PLEASE VOTE, SHARE AND COMMENT!!*** MUCH LOVE XOXO

Some childhood memories don't make sense until you're old enough to understand them. She grew up in a home filled with noise, strangers, secrets, and things no one talked about. She learned early that adults could love you and still hurt you. That mothers could need saving too. That people could disappear without explanation. And that sometimes the things you don't understand when you're young stay with you long after you've grown up. He was one of those things. For years, he was simply someone who belonged to her mother's world. Then he disappeared. Ten years passed. She built a life without him. Until one day, at thirty, her mother tells her he's out of prison. She sends a text. He answers. And suddenly, a part of her past she thought was gone begins quietly making its way back into her life. But some stories take years before you understand what they were really about.

Plunged into a psychological thriller of his own making, Gary must survive Henderson's ruthless demands, navigate the high-stakes drama club, and fight the unhinged desires clawing to get out.

"WE DID TERRIBLE THINGS TOGETHER." "WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO DO." Rainier Daweson has never known how to leave someone behind. Not River, anyway. Her twin, her other half; the boy whose bad decisions have always somehow become debts Rain is responsible for paying. By twenty-one, she has already learned how to disappear-into drugs, into art, into the quiet places inside her own head where the world cannot reach her. Then River's addiction carries him somewhere she cannot follow. Naturally, she does anyway. When his debts become more than money, Rain takes his place and falls through the rabbit hole, into a world built on blood and silence and all the little dark things, twisting and writhing and eating. There, a man who has made a study of what people become when they have nothing left to lose takes an interest in her. In the girl who would willingly bleed for someone else. In the strange, stubborn intelligence beneath all that selflessness. He builds his own version of hell - and Rain is given a choice: descend, or leave her brother behind. Somewhere along the way, there is Scott Rojas - the younger brother of the man who holds her life in his hands. He should have been a warning. Instead, he becomes the first person to make her wonder if love could be something other than sacrifice. But there are some places where love and violence grow too close together to tell them apart. Rain has spent her entire life believing that if she loves someone enough, she can save them. She is about to learn that some people cannot be saved; and that sometimes, in trying to save someone else, you lose yourself first. A Thousand Paper Cranes is a story about the people we would destroy ourselves to save, and the terrible things we do when we cannot bear to let them go.
