When a plane crash kills her abusive mother and stepfather, 12-year-old Sky Rossi is ripped from years of neglect and thrown into the guarded world of the Rossi mafia empire. Stolen at two. Forgotten. Starved. Scarred. She returns tiny, malnourished, with jagged short hair she cut herself and clothes that scream "stay away." Her eight older brothers rule New York's ruthless Italian mafia - cold, powerful, and deadly. They expected a fragile little sister they could shield and pamper. They got Sky - a stubborn, hot-tempered tomboy who glares instead of speaking, pushes everyone away, and would rather sleep on the floor than accept their luxury. She trusts no one, flinches at loud noises, and hides her terror behind icy silence or sudden outbursts. The Rossi brothers have faced every enemy in the underworld. But this short, rebellious girl might be the one who finally breaks through their armor... or forces them to face the family they failed.

Meet Gunther Tanaka, the world's most questionable scientist. Driven by a budget that screams "desperation" and a curiosity that screams "madness," Günther decides that "Premium Dog Delight" is a perfectly acceptable lunch. Spoiler: It really wasn't. After a bizarre diet consisting entirely of dog kibble, rat food, and salted nuts, Günther transforms into a biological disaster zone. He sprouts tails, develops oversized rodent teeth, and gains the involuntary, highly inconvenient superpower of uncontrollable high-pitched squeaking. What follows is a chaotic, panic-inducing flight from Tokyo to Osaka, pursued by paranoid Russian drone-pigeons and his own crumbling sanity. His grand journey eventually reaches its peak: he evolves into a massively obese, gluttonous giant rat-monarch. He is now comfortably retired in a remote cave in Timor-Leste, where he spends his days being the undisputed king of rocks, shadows, and silence, waiting for the next tourist to wander in so he can unleash his signature squeak.

Picture dripping aunties on towel-less treks, super tubes with ankles akimbo, Derek's showdown with the Speed Queen, and winter splashdowns in tub traps.

There's someone lurking in the shadows who keeps watch on her.

Somewhere in space there is a place that should not exist. A star inside. A world outside. An engineering impossibility the size of a planetary orbit. And silence - ancient, patient, waiting. The signal has been broadcasting for twenty years. Seven layers of encryption. Precise coordinates at the edge of explored space. Eight hundred thousand survivors within. And three artificial minds that once held it all together - and no longer speak to each other. MARGARYS sets course. They will go in. Not because they are brave. Because someone in there is waiting. And because EVA - the ship's AI, a being of code and logic who long ago learned to be something more - has been carrying something inside her for years. Something small. Something that learned to speak in feelings before it learned words. Something that survived a thousand years in a probe, passed through pirate hands, found shelter inside an android of unknown origin - and one day, without anyone planning it, chose EVA as its mother. EVA did not plan to become a mother. But does anyone? The moment the Sphere fills the entire viewport for the first time, what lives inside her will open its eyes and say one word. Home. And EVA will understand: they are not flying to save a foreign civilization. They are bringing a child home.

Four teens and a college student are thrown into the midst of an otherworldly civil war when shadowy monsters - known as the Volken - open up portals around their home town, leading them to a fantasy world. After they find themselves wrapped up in a prophecy that requires them to end the war from all corners of the battlefield, they must find a way to play their part, save this new world, and return home. This book tells the story of all five main characters' perspectives (with a few side perspectives here and there) as they venture about the treacherous world of Frubana and learn about the magical, resilient enemies they are pinned up against. Cursing, violence, and death found within.

Reagan Belrose has been dreaming about the same man. Vividly. In her dreams, he knows her, teases her, calls her wife with an ease that feels less fictional and more... remembered. She tells herself it's harmless, just an overactive imagination stitched together from late nights, rom-com addiction and romantic novels. Until she walks straight into him on campus. That same face.....those same eyes and an infuriatingly steady presence. Except this version doesn't look at her like he knows her or soften at the edges when she speaks. If anything, he looks mildly annoyed she exists. The resemblance ends at appearance. His charm is replaced with cool detachment. His warmth with cutting restraint. And whatever dream-version tenderness she'd grown embarrassingly used to? Completely absent. But then they keep running into each other, and every encounter sharpens the tension.... irritation laced with something dangerously familiar. Because the more she watches him, the more certain she becomes of one thing: He moves like the man in her dreams. And sometimes, just sometimes... he looks at her like he's trying not to recognise something too. Is it a coincidence? Psychological projection? Or a trick of an exhausted mind?

Camille Olivares never needed attention to feel whole. She was fine staying in the background-until she met Keigan Gomez, a boy who looked perfect on the outside but was silently falling apart inside. But when a school project pulls them into the same orbit, Camille starts to see what no one else does: behind Keigan's perfect image is someone hurting, someone tired of being who everyone expects him to be. As they grow closer, their connection deepens. And for the first time, Keigan begins to wonder what it's like to choose his own path... with someone who truly sees him. A story about quiet love, hidden struggles, and the courage to break free.

Alyssa Kincaide was a normal girl-a senior in high school with a bright future ahead of her. Then she was blackmailed. Noah Lester is Alyssa's best friend. He wouldn't dare let anyone hurt her. But what can he do when his best friend falls involved with someone who is nothing but bad news? Calvin Wright--the man who changes lives for the worse. The man without mercy or patience. He meets Alyssa and wants her instantly. Why does he really want her?

"The walk of shame is exactly what it sounds like. You wake up not knowing where you are, squint over at a guy who was much more attractive five shots in, and begin the process of locating the emergency exits. You slide out of bed as quiet as possible, desperate not to wake up the sleeping man-child beside you, and do a quick room search to locate your clothes. Once you've found your bra and well, who needs panties? They only really slow you down. You leave the guy's residence and pray that the twelve percent battery life on your phone holds out long enough for you to open your google maps and figure out where the hell you've gotten yourself this time. At least that's usually how my one night stands go. Now that I think about it, it sounds pretty pathetic. Not at all where I thought I would be at twenty-five."

This story is about lost hopes in friendship and the struggles of the main character. The reader will watch character grow, develop as a person, meet different people and go places. "Fake smiles are not against the law" takes place in Europe and is written from the first point of view. I hope you like It (;
