Hello everyone! A little bit of a later start today but it's all good. Thank you for all your words of encouragement last week! I hope you find something you can enjoy!
Let’s dive right in, shall we?
The Estuary (nursery of the sea) - new/wips
The Wife By: orionsnights
To suspect is one thing. To see it is another.
~What the _ _ is going on here? Is Edward or Bella being blackmailed, framed or is he just a sorry cheating dirtbag??? I will reserve judgement pending more info! Orionsnights is doing an excellent job ramping up the tension and anxiety!
Heart of Stone By: MeteorOnAMoonlessNight
Struggling through tragedy and betrayal, Edward believes he's living in a cold and loveless world with no choice but to harden his heart. He's only living a numb half-life as his sole focus becomes revenge. If he forgets his true reason for living, is there anyone who can get through to him?
~I just about lost it all right along with Edward as he slid way down the rabbit hole of grief, guilt and blind rage. Fingers crossed he is regaining his focus. Applause to MeteorOnAMoonlessNight for masterfully steering this story and Edward through treacherous waters!
The Whispering Woods By: ericastwilight
Summary: They say the Crescent Hill Woods whisper to some and scream at others. Even in your dreams. Welcome to Forks, Washington, home of the Spartans. Stay Out of the Whispering Woods.
~I know ericastwilight has done supernatural/suspense/horror...probably every genre, so waiting to see which direction this is going. Meanwhile, she is the queen of cliffhangers!
Inauguration Day By: compass54
On January 20th, the Commander in Chief swears an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. The day has a specific schedule, a historic order of events that end with a new president in the White House. This time, the name is Cullen.
~This is a particularly delicious story that ties how West Point cadets ExB met and their glorious present day. Compass54 is a gifted wordsmith!
Bag Boy By: bornonhalloween
When the town cougar needs a zucchini, the bag boy at the local market gets a tip that's more than he bargained for.
~Post up inside a walk-in freezer to read this one because hoo mama, this is incinerating H.O.T. After Edward makes a personal delivery, he has suddenly jumped from the baby pool into the deep end! What has he gotten himself into? I have questions! Gracias, bornonhalloween, for getting the ‘cub’ and us all hot and bothered!
The Breakers - newly completed
Emergence By: knicnort3
Swan Manor is hiding dark secrets. Humming in the night, vibrating foundation, and a mysterious hatch that leads to a cold dungeon and a glowing eye. As Bella begins to unravel the intense underground world lurking just below her feet, she must decide if she is prepared to risk everything to set a certain someone free. AU, Vampires, B/E
~Brace yourself for a roller coaster of unique twists and turns of the supernatural sort! Knicnort knocks it out of the ballpark with this creative endeavor!
Where the Heart Is Now By: staringatthesky
Because sometimes family is what you make it, and home is where the heart is...and even when you grow up it doesn't always get simpler. A sequel to Where the Heart Is, where it's ten years down the line and Emmett is learning a whole lot more about love and what exactly can go into making a family.
~This is a continuation of Emmett and little sister Alice’s story. Not nearly as heart-wrenching as the first one, but still very moving! Thank you, staringatthesky, for successfully keeping me engaged to read both of these great stories!
Vertigo by Mr G and Me Being born into wealth is a privilege. It’s also a curse. AH. Set in Australia.
~Definitely a challenging journey of breaking through defenses, healing, and recovery! Excellent work, Mr G and Me!
The Last Mission By: amoredjenaue Sequel to The Geheime Vernietiging. Bourneward and MetBella four years later. Have they escaped the demons of Edward's past and the connections of Bella's family. Or was it merely the beginning? Will Edward have to coat his armor again for one last mission?
~Intrigue, suspense action and adventure with SpecialAgentWard. Amoredjenaue expertly puts you through anguish and suspense on this one!
Buried Treasures - golden oldies!
Tunes with Tony Masen By: Just4ALE
Our late night calls were fascinating. His attitude in person was frustrating. Stupid radio host with the velvety, seductive voice. Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? Will the real Tony Masen please stand up? AH. Drama/Mystery/Romance
~What a sexy-voiced mysterious DJ! What kind of person is behind that voice? Full of BIG surprises, action and adventure. We sadly lost the lovely Just4ALE several years ago to cancer, but we still have a part of her in this outstanding story.
The Last Breath By: First Blush
It's 1944, Edward awakes in a London field hospital. He's told his wife was in an air raid and did not survive. This sends Edward on a journey over two continents to find the love of his life, forgiveness for his past, and a joy he never even knew existed.
~This is an absolutely amazing story. I love a well-written period piece and this is one of my favs. Very vivid descriptions, excellent development! This is still a pleasure to read, First Blush! Thank you!
Surviving the Rain By: wandb
Extreme circumstances force Bella and Edward into an intense relationship amidst devastation, but will their foundation be enough to survive reality? AH. B/E. Rated M.
~Dr. Bella and celeb author Edward meet after they individually reach breaking points in their lives. They choose to refocus by offering service to help people in need. One of my ‘old school’ fav authors, wandb certainly writes a moving story.
