Awaiting the Moon's Return in the Southern City

Eve Thompson found herself waking up in the bed of S City's most eligible bachelor with his arm around her waist, but she only had her mother's words in her mind. "Make sure nobody finds out you're disguised as your sister," she told her, looking at the fake birthmark drawn with makeup on her remaining daughter's face. "You have to get Mr. Charlie to marry you, everything we have depends on it!" said she. It was a shame, for the man beside him closely resembled the man she'd lost many years ago. Anthony Charlie's favor with women was notoriously hard to gain, but in a drunken stupor, he crawled under the sheets with the woman beside her, enticed by the memory of someone he'd lost long ago that this woman resembled. However, she never had a birthmark. It could never be her. Was their encounter coincidental? What would their hidden past reveal!? Join Eve Thompson on her exciting journey of courtship and political espionage as she steps into the shoes of her twin sister's now-abandoned life and tries to save her family by winning the heart of the mysterious bachelor, Anthony Charlie!

Crime Prison Island

After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

I hope the author writes more novels like this. It's a light hearted wholesome book. I personally don't like novels that are overly romantic or about detailed violence and crime.

After the late Emperor passed away, Prince Xi succeeded to the throne in front of the spirit. From then on, a new chapter began in the former dynasty and the harem. However, in the past, the six palaces had never stopped scheming against each other. Even if he was born noble, thousands of people respected him, and his power was comparable to that of the six palaces. After the prosperity, what she cherished the most was his words,'I'll promise you a peaceful life.' However, the doubts in her heart didn't gradually dissipate with his company. Her family was in decline. If she was a wise and foolish empress, what would she do? The infatuated and beautiful Consort Jing Yuan, how many more plans did she have? Was the clever and clever Yu Concubine Huizi, who had come from afar, a friend or a foe?

[Secret: Day and Night of Struggle with the Research Society]

When the curly-haired baboon Suya woke up, he realized that he had transmigrated to the Lord of the Mysteries. And the cheat that he brought with him was actually the Curly Hair Baboon Research Society's potion upgrade system that countless curly-haired baboons had ridiculed countless times. Suya silently looked at the warehouse full of High-and Mid-Sequence Beyonder characteristics/ingredients in his interface, speechless. I'm a lucky guy, so why are you giving me the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic? P.S. This was a game, purely because he couldn't get the blind box and kept getting high-Sequence materials that weren't of the same Sequence. However, he couldn't get any of the materials of the same pathway, so he started writing in grief and indignation. The main character is the hot-tempered elder brother of the Fate pathway, a mixed-blood bear. The main character is a gentle and violent European King [?] [DPS: Join the Tarot Club and pet all the cats.] Without a female lead, who would date the Lord of the Mysteries?
