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?

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.

God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

The gods exist. The Supernatural is real. But poor foolish Mortals can never pierce through the Truth hidden by the Veil. They say Ignorance is Bliss.

This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around. ---- He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful. There was a time he too struggled to earn enough for the treatment of his sick and dying mother. But one day, on a Halloween night, his life was forever changed. His eyes were opened to a completely new Reality. The truth that was hidden from the eyes of all normal humans. An entirely different world, rules, and society exist just in front of us. Follow Adam, as he uncovers the Truth about his identity, the power in his blood, and his adventures as he rises to the throne that is rightfully his. To attain his goal, he will not hesitate. He will even become the God of Crime if that is necessary. --------- The story will be moderately slow-paced during the First four volumes as I set Adam in the world and slowly develop the world-building and Adam starts to adapt to the new reality. I know it might not be to the taste of everyone, but I believe it's worth it. We discover the world together with Adam and how he will grow from someone who knew absolutely nothing about the supernatural world to being someone no one can ignore.

Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a fascinating novel that makes people feel like they are in the world of martial artists. The young man in the story carried a long knife on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist as he strode forward. People could not help but be moved by his courage and determination. The author brought the readers into a world full of Jianghu with his unique settings and wonderful dungeons. Although the protagonist had a cheat, his journey was not smooth sailing, but full of challenges and difficulties. This sense of realism made people more invested in the story, and at the same time, it made people feel gratified by the growth and progress of the protagonist. All in all,"Book of Troubled Times" was a fascinating novel. It inspired people to think. Not only did it make people enjoy the book, but it also gave people a deeper understanding of life, emotions, psychology, society, and history. It was worth reading! 2. Spirit Realm Walker: System, Infinite Style, Dungeon, Strange The newspaper seller's new work was different from the subject matter he had written before. It was a new attempt. (But it was quite similar to what his writer friends wrote.) The main character's brother mysteriously disappeared, and the main character received the card he sent. Then, he could enter the Spirit Realm, complete the dungeon, obtain rewards, and level up himself. At the same time, he would search for the truth of the world through exploration. The setting of this book was not bad. The main character needed to clear the Spirit Realm dungeon and find clues from these strange maps to avoid being hunted down. The main character was set to have hypermnesia, which was a cheat. It allowed him to remember many details of the past, but it was also a double-edged sword that would lead to negative effects. The other character settings were also quite interesting, such as a gentleman boss who spoke in a translator's accent, a beautiful colleague who liked to talk, and a beautiful sister-in-law. Although this book contained supernatural elements, the author himself said that this book would not focus on supernatural elements, so it would not be particularly scary. Moreover, the style of selling newspapers was humorous. Coupled with the fact that he often drove, the style of the book was relaxed. Moreover, the newspaper seller would also make jokes in supernatural places, so it would not be particularly scary. Overall, the book was excellent so far. There were no logical errors, and the plot and worldview were relatively complete. However, it was still a seedling after all. He wanted to see if the author could write a better architecture. 3."The Tang's Table": Another masterpiece by Second Brother. The results were obvious to all. She had been in the top 10 of the monthly votes all year round. Everyone came to admire how Yunchu built the ultimate Chang 'an ~~~ 4."King of Familiars":"King of Familiars" was a novel with strong writing style and story. The author had combined web novel routines with ancient style writing style quite well. The story was fascinating and irresistible. This novel was set in a brand new era of familiars, and it told the story of who would become the well-deserved king of familiars. The author had displayed his talent and creativity in this novel, which made people's eyes light up. There was no trace of a routine in this novel. The style of writing was relaxed and not oppressive, bringing a pleasant reading experience to the readers. Overall, I like this type of book very much and give it a positive evaluation. 5: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation is a fascinating Xianxia novel. The author had done a first-class job in the plot arrangement. The characters were vividly portrayed and the emotions were handled meticulously, making people fall into it. Especially the image of the female lead, a cold mature lady, a lively and cute young girl, both were unforgettable. The story was set in the Great Yan Empire. The government was in turmoil and the prime minister was in chaos. The main character had transmigrated to his favorite game. With foresight and wisdom, he got out of trouble and reached the peak of his life. The plot of this novel was compact and fascinating, making people want to finish reading it in one go. In general, this was a satisfying novel. Whether it was in terms of character creation or plot design, it showed the author's talent and creativity. 6. National Forensics: Shiniao Village's new book. The urban system's professional literature. The second generation of demolition had just graduated from university and became a forensic doctor. He had obtained the system and could obtain skills by completing system missions. Currently, he had obtained the Egg-Fried Rice skill and the fingerprint comparison. Why I'm Reading This Book: Capybara's new book is still a professional novel, but it changed from a doctor to a forensic doctor. Tall, rich, and handsome don't focus on being handsome, but demolishing the second generation will make the rich stand still. The capybara's writing style was still there, and it was still interesting. There was also a lot of job-related science. It was obvious that he had put in some effort. It was basically a daily novel where a professional rookie relied on the system to become an elite. Why not read this book? One was about capybaras 'water, and the other was about forensic science. After all, many people didn't like it. In general, the grain would be evaluated according to the situation. 7."Wait, Heroine":"Wait, Heroine" was a very comfortable book. The author's writing process was steady, steady, and step-by-step, making it easy and enjoyable to read. The story in the book was compact and made people immerse themselves in it. They could feel the author's foundation and knowledge. Even though there were some places that were a little over-the-top, overall, the book was worth reading. In addition, the author's writing style and character description were excellent, especially the description of the pet bird, which gave people a vivid feeling. In short, this book was a joyful novel that could make people laugh. If you like novels with multiple female protagonists, then this book is definitely not to be missed. 8:"Mantang Colorful": recommendation index: ****** Author: Weird Cousin Word count: 10,000 [Status: Series] Tagged: Tang Dynasty, Group Images, Machiavellian The new book by the author of "The End of Song" still started with Wang Zha. The protagonist was reborn as a servant of the Du family. At the beginning, he faced the biggest case of the Crown Prince's rebellion during the reign of Li Xuanzong. How would he survive in this struggle and face the upcoming An Lushan Rebellion? How could he bear witness to the Great Tang's glory in this chaotic era? The author's writing style was experienced, the characters were vivid, and the historical figures he created were consistent with the records in the history books. The author was good at describing the characters in detail and had his own unique understanding of history. The author's writing style was excellent. He was good at laying foreshadowing and his insight spanned thousands of miles. The plot was smooth, the rhythm was tight, and the logic was reasonable. The author's research of historical materials was also very rigorous, and the description of political schemes was even more amazing. 9."Hidden Dead Corner" Personal Rating: Sr. The book 'Get Lost' was about strangeness. The formation of blind spots was a man-made disaster. Slowly, it became the feeling of constantly running dungeons. "Final Divine Duty": The cosmic mecha was as strong as a dragon, and the gods and devils in the abyss whispered and roared. In this era where new and old techniques, technology and divine power collided, Lu Yuan brought along an attribute panel that allowed him to change classes indefinitely and stumbled down. "Class [Martial Arts Grandmaster]+ Material [Abyss Nine-Headed Dragon Heart], can be upgraded to [Dark Dragon Sect]..." Lu Yuan looked at his hands that were gradually covered with black scales. The black hair on his back danced wildly without any wind. His dark red eyes stared at the human-shaped mechanical body that streaked across the night sky like a meteor. He smiled and muttered to himself in a low voice,"Now..." I should be able to tear apart a Mech with my bare hands…" "Beyond Time":"Beyond Time" is a Xianxia version of a wasteland cultivation novel. The author, Er Gen, described a cultivation world full of changes in the book. In this world, the place where the gods opened their eyes turned into a forbidden area, and the protagonist survived in this dangerous environment. The protagonist of the story obtained a piece of amethyst that could dissolve foreign substances, allowing him to embark on the path of cultivation. In the process of cultivation, the protagonist displayed a decisive and cautious personality. Although he was lonely inside, he still met someone who warmed his heart. In this new work, Er Gen showed his excellent writing skills. The characters were vividly portrayed, the wording was beautiful, and the artistic conception was profound. The story was closely related to the previous work, I Want to Seal the Heavens, and formed a grand world of Xianxia. I strongly recommend Beyond Time. I believe readers will gain inspiration and insight from it. "This Game Is Too Real":"This Game Is Too Real" is a fascinating novel. The author's prediction ability was admirable. The plot was compact and the setting was unique. The book described the situation of the doomsday infrastructure, making people feel as if they were on the wasteland, feeling the scene of players working hard to survive in a difficult environment. Although the female character was not very likable, it did not affect the overall story's excitement. Through the various operations of the idiotic players, the author showed the magnificent scene of them building a technology tree from scratch on the wasteland and changing the situation of the apocalypse. This book was set in a game, but it was not limited to the game itself. Instead, it integrated the game elements into real life, giving people inspiration and thinking. In short, This Game Is Too Real was a good book worth recommending. "Red Heart Sky Patrol": In ancient times, the demon race went extinct. In the modern era, the dragon race disappeared. The era of the Great Divine Dao was already like smoke, and the era of the peak of flying swords had finally fallen… What happened in this world? Who would listen to the truth of history buried in the river of time? Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are painted with corpses, and hundreds of years of heaven and earth are painted with hungry tigers. Heaven and earth are fair as heartless, I have a pure heart to survey the heavens! Ring of Destiny was a long-awaited new squid book. It was the continuation of the Lord of the Mysteries. The first book was written very well, making people look forward to this new book. The story was set in a mysterious world, which made people feel excited and filled with endless fantasies. The author used his passionate and passionate strokes to describe the story of a young man's unyielding struggle, making people feel infinite passion and strength. I'm looking forward to the release of this new book. I believe it will be even more exciting. The Great Ming State Preceptor: Water The author should have some foundation and no big historical loopholes (of course, I can't really see it, but I think it's okay when combined with this chapter). The passive type. 16:"Ascending on a New Day": There was a Reading Snake named Niu Qiqi. There was a snake-catching youth named Xu Ying. There is a big bronze bell that says it was not stolen, Everyone, come and see Otaku Pig's new work. 17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Being Reborn": A 40-year-old worker was reborn. When the college entrance examination just ended, he was hooked by a green tea for 6.7 years in high school and university. He suddenly realized that a new Chen dog had appeared. There were quite a few jokes and many natural memes in the chapter. It looked quite happy. [Summing up: Food +] "Deep Sea Ember": I recommend a new book by the author of "Sword of the Daybreaker", Yuan Tong. It looks pretty good so far. 19."Gou in the Demonic Martial World to Cultivate Immortals": A new book of plagiarism. Heart Following Immortal Cultivation + Double Penetration. The main character traveled through the cultivation world and became a low-level spirit farmer. However, with the golden finger, he could pass through the martial arts world with the power of demons. He would use his spiritual farming techniques and the resources of the cultivation world to go to the martial arts world to cultivate martial arts, and then feed them back to immortal cultivation. He was currently at the top of the martial arts world, and the cultivation world was about to break through to the foundation establishment stage. Why I'm reading this book: Actually, at the beginning, I really thought that this book was the worst of the plagiarist's recent books. I can't say that it's very toxic, but I can't find anything to read. It's quite useless. I was even prepared to give up on it after entering V. However, as the protagonist gained a certain amount of power after the novel was published, the popularity of the novel immediately returned to the normal level of plagiarism. Moreover, this book was a revision of the traditional mortal flow that strengthened the elements of obedience. As an old mortal flow reader, it was still quite satisfactory. He was still reading it. Why not read this book? In addition, the characteristic of plagiarists was that the protagonist was ruthless and ruthless, and only wanted to improve himself. Those who did not like this probably felt that the protagonist was not human. Moreover, many times, the flow of the heart would make the plot unhappy. In general, the rations would be evaluated according to the situation. "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a Xianxia novel. It told the story of the main character Lu Yang and his fellow Daoists 'journey to immortality in a relaxed and funny style. The plot of this book was compact and the rhythm was fast, giving people a relaxed and pleasant reading experience. The author had built a harmonious society in the book, and the Immortal Cultivators had to abide by the law, which showed the author's pursuit of social fairness and justice. The protagonist of the story, Lu Yang, and his friends explored the cultivation world and uncovered a series of mysteries, making people look forward to their adventures. In addition, there were some interesting plots in the book that made the readers laugh and enjoy themselves. In short,"Who told him to cultivate!" It was a delightful novel that was worth recommending to readers who liked imaginative and unconventional cultivation novels. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

Futuristic crime novels can be seen as a mirror of modern society's fears in several ways. Take the fear of genetic engineering. In some futuristic crime novels, there are crimes related to the illegal manipulation of genes, which reflects our current unease about the power and potential misuse of genetic technology. The fear of a surveillance state is also depicted, with stories of people being constantly monitored in a future world, and any deviation from the norm being considered a crime. Moreover, the fear of environmental collapse is sometimes woven into these novels, where crimes are committed in the scramble for the few remaining resources in a post - apocalyptic future.
