Note some of these have been published and their original content remain on the website however, it can be taken down at any time and is not always the finished story.

8. The Virus Within 

Written by user @CrystalSherer, The Virus Within a a young adult science fiction novel where the main character Trinity, is neither human nor a zombie. She has the skills of a zombie and the half appearance but she has a soul, mind and can function like a human. In this fast-paced terror thriller, it is bound to leave you crawling for more!

7. Defying the Odds (The 4th Quarter Quel) 

a Hunger-games fanfiction dually written by users @Amanda1price and @beccathesmartaleck this fanfiction told through the point of view of both Layla Kimber and Asher Lux who both happen to be fighting twenty-two, other competitors.


Fan fiction is not for everyone and many indeed hate it but in all honesty, I never met a more fantastic fanfiction that doesn't copy the original books.

6. Stripes

A dystopian young adult novel written by @Hazzer123, this story flips today's society. Instead of it being socially acceptable to be straight, it is illegal and punishable by death. In a world where it is wrong to love someone of the opposite sex, it puts into perspective how those who love someone of the same-sex in today's society feel.

This novel is bound to leave you questioning your morals and break your heart with its dynamic characterization and storyline.

5. Breathe Under Water (Shadows of the Night #1)

In this dystopian horror mystery novel where the supernatural creatures live in the same world as humans, Anna Johnson, a witch of the air, she soon discovers a deep dark past that she never knew of.

This thriller is filled with action, witty comments, and romance and is followed by 5 other novels as you see dynamic growth in characterization.

5. True Love’s Ghost 

In this clean teen fiction novel by @julietlyons, Angeline meets Tom in an empty wing of her old mansion, she is filled with a sense that she has met him before. Too much of her shock, she is stunned to learn that nobody in her house has heard of him and that he has been dead for over 100 years. As they fall in love and the truth of their ghostly connect emerges they must find a way to be together before their time runs out.


This novel will hand down make you cry and if it doesn't, then you have no soul. This story full of angel, archangels, supernatural and romance is bound to leave you wishing you had a love like these two.

3. The Girl In Black

This story is not just another cliche rich high school where the guy and a girl have a love-hate relationship. Between this relation and the dark secrets that lie within the rich town and a dark past that begins to unfold as Nova Nightingale refuses to let Isaac Royal get beneath her skin and make her snap as she discovers the truth about her mother's past and her mysterious death. Check out @HeartlessThoughts stories!!

2. Storm and Silence

Written by the most creative spontaneous author Robert Their, this first novel in the series set in 19th Century London follows a young woman who simply wants the same freedom as men and will do anything it takes even if it means working for the most handsome, powerful, arrogant and all too dangerous billionaire Mr. Ambrose.

In this novel and throughout the series, it will leave you wanting to scream for Lily and punch Ambrose in the face but tug at your heart as you watch their character arc unfold through multiple novels. These stories will make you laugh, cry and want to punch 19th century standards in the face.

1. Bullied (Bullied Series #1) 

In this trilogy written by @VeraHollins who spent hours upon hours researching information for her character accuracy. This is a tale between a depression filled teenage Sarah who happens to have on her bully, Hayden. Little known to many, Hayden suffers from Borderline Personality Disorders.

This trilogy gives insight into the characteristics and struggles that those with BPD go through and how those who love them struggle as well. And although this series does not state that anyone with this disorder exactly goes through things the characters go through, it's eye-opening to know that they can go through this and some do.

Between the three novels, you will cry, want to throw something and question everything about the characters but you will also see a love that is pure and how they struggle and how it is worth it. You will see the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful.


While are other novels such as This Crappy Life by Emma Isaac and Falling Back by Priscilla Chang although it's being rewritten, these are just eight novels I recommend. If anything else check out my own work on Wattpad, @jordoniscool5

cousins
Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
