A Kiss Of Madness
K.B. Everly - 2018
Chaotic frenzy. Crazy. It doesn’t matter how you define it. It only matters how you perceive it. I’ve always known things I shouldn’t know. Seen things I shouldn’t see, things no one else sees. But one terrifying vision—and my reaction to it—lands me in Brocker’s Center for the Criminally Insane. I’m convinced I can make it through my time here unscathed. After all, I’m not crazy. But after spending time with three guys—a schizophrenic with two personalities, a pathological liar who isn’t to be trusted, and a nymphomaniac with a penchant for knives—I’m beginning to doubt my sanity. Can I separate the real from the mad, or will this place make me spiral further down into the dark recesses of my mind? Am I crazy? I’ll let you decide... *This is a twisted romance novel that’ll leave you questioning if what you’re reading is true, or just a Kiss Of Madness* **WARNING: This book contains themes and situations some readers may find sensitive including mental illness, assault, and attempted sexual assault.
Fallen Elemental
Tamara White - 2016
And it feels like they know it too, because they treat me like an outcast. When all I really want is to be cared for by someone. To be loved for who I am. Not hated by my parents like I am now, or bullied by girls who know nothing about me, but treated like I too am important and worthy of affection. It seems like that day has finally arrived when four new guys show up at school and turn my life on its head. I know I shouldn’t let my loneliness be the reason I let them into my life, but I can’t seem to help myself. There is just something about them that draws me in, that makes me long to be near them. But when my eighteenth birthday arrives, everything I thought I knew about them, and myself, changes. I have to adapt to all sorts of new challenges, like controlling powers I never knew I had. Let’s just hope I don’t destroy the world by accident. ***Warning: this book, while based in high school, is not YA. I recommend readers be over the age of 18 before reading this and and to ensure you read the inside warning page regarding possible triggers.
