Dawn Davis is an eighteen-year-old girl.  Or, at least, she was, until the horrible horse accident that lead to her death.  Now, she's a three-hundred-eighteen-year-old (sort of) ghost that's not quite dead (or a ghost).  She's stayed the small town of Blue Falls in North Carolina.  It's so small, it's unheard of.  

Dawn is a spiritual being called an In-between.  She is something that isn't quite a dead, and not quite alive.  In-betweens are physically bound to the city they died in, and usually stay in their old homes.  As an In-between, she is never heard or seen.  At least, she hadn't been until a certain, special, sixteen-year-old Artemis Alexander finds her lurking around. 

Artemis and his big family just moved into the house on the grounds where Dawn used to live.  Dawn needs to find out why this Artemis boy can see her.  It's never happened in the three hundred years she'd been (not quite) dead.  

Artemis is your regular kid of science, the one you barely see in the background, and he is far from superstitious.  Artemis doesn't believe in anything science does not explain.  So how do you think he feels when he begins to see people that glow but aren't quite there? 

Or how about one that's not quite dead?

Fifteen year old Mitchell Turner has been living a semi-normal life in River Falls, Virginia, a safe peaceful town where nothing supernatural could ever exist or happen. At least, it used to. For four months, Mitch has been living under the protective care of his new foster family, who has provided him love, care, and support. There were no evil hunters to ruin his life. No demons to steal his soul. No ghosts, vampires, or witches trying to kill him. No insane doctors attempting to use him as their next guinea pig. No powers to corrupt his fortune. Life was good. Until one fateful day. Mitch's whole world suddenly gets flipped upside down and he has no choice but to go back to a life he has tried so hard to escape from. But what's that old saying? The past comes back to kick you in the behind. Well, he has no choice but to deal not only with the supernatural influences again, but also with an agency he's not sure he can trust, a girl he has a strong connection to, all while dealing with unfortunate visions that may just be his downfall as he attempts to save the life of a girl who desperately needs his help, all while trying to maintain a normal life. Can he find and rescue her before she winds up like her deceased mother? Or will his new crippling abilities cause too much havoc and cause him to lose his sanity?

The Last Thing I Did by AnoukVanhille
23 parts Ongoing
Ages ago a scientist by the name of Benjamin Wolves conducted an experiment and perchance made the Supernatural. By creating a world with no laws and no limits there had to be something wrong one day. In the year of 2004 the first ever Deadwolf was created, a wolf who could escape death and has a cancer-like poison in its veins. Benjamin didn't think much of it, but now here we are in the 31 first century and alternate dimensions exist, all kinds of Werewolves and the world is collapsing. What Benjamin could have never predicted was the birth of another mutation wolf: Rea Wolves. Daughter of the first ever Deadwolf and something far advanced than a Deadwolf. She has been set on Earth by her mother to defeat her old enemy Benjamin. .... "Did you free Falk from Hell", she immediately asked Benjamin when she stormed into his office. He looked confused at Rea but she didn't trust him. He was and still is a master manipulator. He could hide his real thoughts and emotions from a Deadwolf. "Rea Wolves", he said standing up from his chair making a little bow for her. "Answer my question", she said frustrated. "You differ a lot in the looks from your mother but you clearly have gotten her character", he said with a grin on his face. Rea was about to get violent but then thought to herself that I'd be smarter if she stayed calm and tried to read his emotions and search through his thoughts to a gateway to Benjamin's memories. "I'm technically your grandfather. Aren't you glad that you have some family left", he asked her and she looked with a raised eyebrow at him which made him chuckle. It reminded him of her real mother Deadlive. "What a nice grandfather I have! You've been killing the family Wolves for centuries now, should I be grateful for that", she said. "Now answer my question: Have you freed Falk from Hell?!" ... What if the villain was actually the hero? * Can contain curse words, suicide thoughts * This book is entirely made up by me
