The truth is, she never had a choice.

Abandoned on the streets of London, Deirdra’s constantly in and out of orphanages. At age fifteen she finds herself in the last place she expects—an exclusive boarding school in Ireland. And if that wasn’t enough, the headmaster’s daughter shows her a possible lead to the mystery that surrounds her abilities.

Things aren’t always as they seem, and the mystery regarding her powers goes deeper into history—and into the future—than she thought. Clues start to seemingly unearth themselves and all signs point to India, where strange happenings have been going on in the shadows of night. And Deirdra’s mother suddenly starts to become less of a fantasy figure and more of a reality.

Deirdra finds herself stuck between what she thinks is right, and what other people want her to do.

The game’s afoot and she is destined to meet some rather unlikely allies as she uncovers the truth about her powers. But does she really want to know the truth, or will curiosity kill this cat? - inkpop

Even Heaven lies.

Gabriella Long is stuck in the small, backwater town of Claideamh. Her only chance of escape is college next year. Enter James De Le Mare, the charismatic new kid with his heart-melting quotations. Exam year is never easy, and James' frequent unexplained disappearances certainly aren't helping. As the pair grows closer, Gabriella begins to suspect that James is withholding information from her about his past.

In search of answers, Gabriella vows to confront De Le Mare once and for all. Little does she realize an ancient world awaits her just beyond the truth. In a place where angels fail, demons rise and a sacred symbol threatens to ruin them all, how can one mere mortal possibly compete? Will Gabriella’s attempts to find answers from the gods protect or destroy her? Is James hiding more than he appears?

After all, secrets are just honey-coated lies. - inkpop

Life is never simple. It's never easy.

And before you know it...

It's over.

Imagine. Imagine being young and carefree. Imagine your childhood. The one you so dearly adored.

Now imagine that of a young girl's, born and bred in the filthy slums of Pakistan. A girl who has lived through the overwhelming intensity of poverty and its morbid obscenity yet she survives, with a loving family at her side. She learns that happiness can exist regardless of the extent one’s wealth, as long as you are with the ones you love. Thus was born the reason of her life and her only sustenance. But, when death steals away the family that she so dearly loves, what is left for her?

Nothing but an ordinary yet strangely expensive family heirloom.

In a web of lies, deceit and turmoil, Isra discovers that the heirloom— a beautiful red amulet— is not the ordinary object that she previously believed it to be. It is a portal, containing the ability to travel to and from the Inbetween— the land between the Heavens and the Earth. For generations, there have been two Keepers of the Amulet: a girl and a boy. Destined for companionship, the two keepers must find one another and, together, return the amulet to the Inbetween, lest creatures wander beyond the borders into realms that are not their own… - inkpop
It Changes Everything

To turn right means that life goes on: birth, school, work, love, family, death...To Turn Left changes everything

Sometimes, you don't get a choice. It's your time and you have to choose, life or death, left or right. You have to make a choice, and once you make your decision, there's no going back.

For Evelyn Farley, the time came on her sweet sixteenth and, unconsciously, she chose left. Now she is thrust into the world of monsters and slayers with no hope of turning back. Questions she never thought to ask are slamming back into her.

But, in the end, it all comes back to one thing. Did she make the right decision? Or did she make a huge mistake

Inkpop: .piXie.
Every now and then I find a really interesting story from an potential writer on inkpop.com that leaves me happy to know that some teens have some amazing talent! I like showcasing this talent when I can and give these individuals a chance to be discovered or know that some day they could be the next big thing. Not only is the cover amazing, but on her page she even mentions how Jackson Pearce has picked this novel to be featured as a handpicked Figment.com piece as well! This young girl must certainly have talent if a big name author is impressed by the story!
“You asked me not to judge you by your past. The truth is I judge you more by my own.”

After Katie witnesses her mother's tragic murder, she is uprooted from her life in upstate New York and forced to live with an estranged aunt. When she arrives in Seaside Heights, NewJersey, she meets Joseph Bruglia, a boy whose sordid past leaves him uncomfortably wedged between the mistakes that haunt him and his new-found religion. When they first meet it isn't necessarily love at first sight. Through trial and error, they learn to see the beauty in each other. However, it will take harsh reality and divine intervention before they can see the beauty within themselves. inkpop.com

This novel in progress looks promising. The writer has surely set herself up to write a beautiful story. I have yet to read it but I figured since it looks so good, I had to share it with the rest of my blog readers.

I was born for him. He was born to kill.
Everybody was different for a reason, but I never would have guessed that my reason was him.

As the princess of Lumaria I was always expected to act as such, but not even the heavy fabric of the fancy gowns and the excessive sparkle of the expensive jewels could hide the fact that I looked nothing like a Lumarian. Where people of the kingdom normally had light hair, light eyes, and light skin, I had dark everything. With hair blacker than night, eyes the color of mud, and cinnamon-tinted skin, I was labeled an abomination—a freak—and for that reason, I had always been a prisoner in my own castle, kept behind indestructible walls.

Or so they seemed.

One day my walls came crashing down—literally. Our castle was attacked by an army from Vittoris, a kingdom known for its prowess in war, and I knew that we could not win. Led by its vampire prince and his friends, the Vittorialites infiltrated our city. I was sure that death was the only option, so when they demanded only one thing in return for their mercy, I was all-too willing to hear what it was.

I never would have guessed that the answer would be me.

So, by some cruel twist of Fate, my captor became my liberator, and by the same cruel twist of Fate, my liberator became my captor. Obviously, Fate had an odd sense of humor.

And that is where this story begins
