Love Like Poison

They're Not Like Us

In a world shattered by humanity's own ambition, survival comes at a cost. Decades ago, experiments to create bioengineered soldiers spiraled out of control, fusing alien DNA with human genetics. The result was The Others—monstrous beings that decimated the human population, driving the survivors into hiding. Leah Carter is one of those survivors, struggling to find her place in a fractured group that includes Elias, her unwavering ally; Thompson, a man haunted by the past; Jonah, whose fear breeds mistrust; and Maren, whose quiet strength hides a mysterious past. When a revelation about The Others' origins emerges, Leah discovers a disturbing connection to the creatures—one that could either save humanity or doom it. As the group searches for a long-abandoned military research facility rumored to hold the key to defeating The Others, Leah faces a growing divide within her team. Jonah’s suspicion and the group's unease threaten to tear them apart just when they need each other most. Amidst the chaos, Leah uncovers a shocking ability to communicate with The Others, forcing her to confront the possibility that she may be more connected to the enemy than she ever imagined. With the weight of humanity’s survival on her shoulders, Leah must navigate betrayal, fear, and her own inner turmoil. Can she and her group uncover the truth and find a way to fight back against The Others before it’s too late? Or will humanity’s final hope crumble under the weight of secrets and mistrust? "They Are Not Like Us" is a gripping apocalyptic thriller that explores the fragile bonds of trust, the cost of survival, and the enduring question: What makes us human?

Love Me! (Like You) Hate Me!

[SLOW BURN/SLICE OF LIFE!] --- Lily Aikawa never planned on standing out. Transferring to Shinsei High was supposed to be a fresh start, but with her foreign looks and inability to keep her mouth shut, she sticks out like a sore thumb. Between nosy classmates, unfair rumors, and a school hierarchy that doesn’t take kindly to outsiders, it doesn’t take long before she finds herself caught in the crossfire of people she’d rather avoid. Like Hayato Mori—Shinsei’s golden boy with an ego bigger than the city of Seon. A pest. An arrogant, smirking nuisance determined to get under her skin just because she refuses to acknowledge him. And Arata Takashiro—the school’s biggest enigma. A boy wrapped in sharp edges, too quiet, too distant, with a gaze that lingers when no one else is looking. But Lily isn’t the only one struggling to find her place. Arata has bigger problems than school. Between keeping his family afloat and balancing more jobs than any teenager should, he doesn’t have time for high school drama. The last thing he needs is some foreign girl drawing attention to herself—and by extension, to him. Except, somehow, their paths keep crossing. Whether it’s through shared secrets, cruel misunderstandings, or the unexpected guidance of Kenjiro Aikawa—the eccentric photographer who sees through them both—Lily and Arata find themselves tangled in a world that neither of them are quite ready for. But friendships aren’t easy when survival comes first. And at Shinsei High, it only takes one mistake to become a target.

The irresistible slow poison

|Stripper×Mafia boss×CEO| [Volume one: Heaven's hell] "On your knees," he said and she did as ordered. He tied a silk cloth around her eyes to make sure that she can't look at him while he fucks her. She feels disrespected every time he does this but who was she to deny him when he has her heart in his palms? "Can you kiss me today, please?" she begged but her begging didn't matter. It was only returned with a smack on her ass as a punishment. "You know that I don't kiss. Stop making silly demands or you can leave." "I am sorry, master." That's how it was; she wasn't respected enough, but still, she couldn't leave. He had her heart while she was just a booty call. She would endure everything just to get some more time with him but still, she wasn't appreciated. And when she finally decides to move on, he is on his knees, begging her to stay. And what was the 'so-called handsome CEO' doing in the orphanage where she goes every now and then? He couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from her. The once ignored girl was now being chased by two important figures and everyone started calling her 'The irresistible slow poison' On top of everything, the cute children were there to make things a thousand times better. Her besties were her protectors. They gave her so much happiness and love that she forgot all of her pain. Yet there's someone after her life. Unexpected things start to happen one after another. A book with diverse cultures, races, and love and full of angst. Fast-paced but also a slow burn. PS: the cover isn't mine.
