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.

It is a great novel. The various cases and different scientific terms are written very well. However, instead of making the main character seem highly intelligent, the IQ of the supporting characters is shown to be too low. Also, the handling of evidence in each case wasn't quite up to the mark. But for those who love crime novels, it’s a good read. ❣️😍😊

Her dream was to travel through the mountains and rivers of the world, use her own ability to describe the mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, and use her own hands to break through the sky. She had come back from the dead, one step at a time. Even if she flew into the sky, she gradually understood the importance of family, learned how to protect family, love, and friendship, and how to chase after her dreams.

With fragrance as a weapon and thorns as a protective umbrella, one could chase dreams without regret and live up to the mountains and rivers.

The demon boss always wants to fall in love

[Memory loss, brain make-up, crazy girl x gentle, black-bellied, daily actor boss] After she came back to life, she became one of his many subordinates. How to be a good subordinate? His boss was going to resign, so he had to find a way to make him stay and continue working for free. If the boss didn't want to work, he had to take on two roles. His superior wanted to act? Accompany him! If his boss wanted to be a person, he would be even more so than him. Before she left, she sneaked into her superior's bedroom in the middle of the night, tied him up without saying a word, pulled out a knife, and threatened him. "…From now on, you walk your own path, and I'll cross my own bridge." She had been running for half a month, but she did not expect that in the end, she would obediently go back. "It's okay to be in a relationship, but not in public," she said to her superior. He compromised, but not completely. He experienced what it meant to fall in love secretly, as well as the way the Protoss loved. Unmarried people were not allowed to kiss, hug, or hold hands. From the Protoss Code. He was speechless. [The academy has a light cultivation + the combination of Chinese and Western settings.]

The rest of my life is full of love

In the past, Qin Cen thought that love was the joy of being alone in a chaotic situation. Later, she felt that she could not afford to love him because it was too bitter, too sour, and too illusory. That was until that person suddenly barged into her life. In the past, Qin Cen had never thought that she would be entangled with Jiang Jin. To her, he was a cold-blooded, ruthless, arrogant, and cruel spokesperson. Perhaps it was because he had almost strangled her to death when they first met, but he had left a deep-rooted shadow in her heart, so much so that she hated him deeply… Therefore, cherish life and stay away from the river. So much so that... Then one day, she sat on his lap and said something shameful to him." Can you exhaust all your energy for me?" - ---
