Action Web Novels & Brave Face-Slapping Stories

Thirty days before the world ends, Rue gets a second chance. In her first life, she died because the man she loved chose his pregnant mistress over her, forcing her out of a shelter filled with people seeking safety from the Hollow, creatures that hunted by sound. Now, Rue knows what is coming, and she refuses to die the same way twice. As she prepares for the apocalypse, she crosses paths with Kael Mercer, a guarded stranger who seems to know more than he lets on. Together, they must survive a world where one careless sound can mean death. But as the Hollow grow deadlier and the past catches up with them, Rue discovers that surviving the apocalypse may be easier than surviving the secrets hidden within it.

Being known as a demoness, the angel of death's best friend, and many other cursed titles for the heiress of a gangster group seems like commonplace. But no one knows that Maia has one small, ridiculous ambition. She wants to have a simple life with her beloved husband and children if God gives her a second life. Maia assumes God is bored with granting her final wish before dying in a clan war. She wakes up in the body of another woman, a popular celebrity who died regretfully after getting married. Can Maia, the cursed woman, succeed in playing her role as a good wife and mother in place of the celebrity?

For six years, Nora’s in-laws called her fat and barren. Three times she got pregnant. Three times she lost the baby. The last was a little girl she held for an hour before they took her away. Every time, her mother-in-law hugged her, cried with her, and brewed her a special “fertility tea.” When the Endless Winter came, her husband took her money, her food, and her house, then traded her grandmother’s ring for a shelter spot for his pregnant mistress. Nora was left outside in the snow. Through the glass, her mother-in-law finally told her the truth: the tea killed her babies. If Nora died married and childless, her grandmother’s fortune would go to her husband. Then Nora opens her eyes. It is 50 days before the first snow. This time, she claims her grandmother’s abandoned cold-storage empire and wakes up with a secret of her own. So she stockpiles in silence, while the whole city laughs at the fat woman buying heaters in summer. Only one person isn’t laughing: Commander Rhys Calder, an arctic rescue officer who has survived winters that killed everyone around him. He knows she’s hiding something. He just can’t figure out why she prepares like a woman who has already died before. When the temperature hits −60°C, her ex and his family come crawling to her door. But Nora has a bigger problem. In her last life, she died in the first winter. She knows exactly how the Freeze begins. She has no idea what comes after it.
