Are there any novels where the protagonist trades with the demon in exchange for powerful abilities?

Sure. 'Naruto: Bonds Beyond Time' is an interesting long fanfic. It has Naruto traveling through different time periods in the Naruto universe and forming unique bonds with past and future generations of ninjas. 'Shadow of the Fox' is also good. It emphasizes the darker side of Naruto's power as the Jinchuriki of the Nine - Tails and how he copes with it. And 'Path to Redemption' shows Naruto's journey to redeem characters who were once considered villains in the Naruto world.

You can try Project Gutenberg. It offers a wide range of free e - books, including 'The Hobbit'. It's a great resource for classic literature.

You can try looking on popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3). Just search for 'Remus and Tonks first kiss' in the search bar, and it should bring up relevant stories.

John Wyndham is a great author in this area. His novel 'The Day of the Triffids' is about a world where most people are blinded and then have to face giant, man - eating plants. Margaret Atwood has written post - apocalyptic horror - ish works as well. 'Oryx and Crake' shows a future world that has been devastated by genetic engineering gone wrong. Another author is Justin Cronin. His 'The Passage' trilogy is set in a post - apocalyptic world overrun by vampire - like creatures.

One great book is 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series by Rick Riordan. It's a modern take on Greek mythology and is very engaging for new readers. The story follows Percy, a demigod, as he discovers his powers and goes on various adventures in the world of Greek gods and monsters.

I'm afraid I don't have the information about the author of this novel. You can check on Goodreads or Amazon. These platforms usually have details about the author of any book.

I'm not sure specifically what 'hairsnip stories' are. It could be a collection of stories related to haircuts or something to do with hair. Maybe they are personal anecdotes about different hair experiences.

Another excellent one is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's full of humor and absurdity. The story follows an ordinary man's adventures in space. It has unique concepts like the 'Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything' being 42. It's a really fun and imaginative read.

Sometimes it's to show a conflict in their relationship. Ron and Hermione have a complex relationship, and a slap can symbolize a breaking point in their interactions.

We might expect a lot of tension. Since it's the start of the apocalypse in the 'Quiet Place' world, there will probably be a sense of dread and confusion. People will be scrambling to understand what's going on.
