Gila Game

Mia D’Lorne thought heartbreak would kill her but getting hit by a car did the job faster. One second she’s running from the sound of her boyfriend and sister fornicating, the next she’s standing in front of an abandoned bus station in what looks like purgatory. The bus that picks her up looks like a prop in a horror movie and she’s introduced to the world of the Soul Recycle Program. To exist, she has to compete in a twisted afterlife show where the dead fight their way through nightmare worlds for the amusement of unknown and unseen spectators. The rules are simple. Survive or disappear for good. Mia is joined by two strangers who are just as broken as she is. Axel Rivers, who has been dead for almost a century, and Bree DeBois, a control freak paramedic with more guilt than she can carry. Together they try to survive the challenges of the game. As the trio do their best to keep from being erased, they begin to realize the Game is more personal than they imagined.

As lies unravel and secrets come to light, Jayde must decide if survival is worth losing herself—and her heart.

"This realm is your only chance of coming back to life in the mortal world, and if you attract those consequences, take note that you will die.” “Death?” I ask, mostly to myself. And to the voice, “What do you mean by 'I’m on my way to death'?” ~~~ Nova was having a bad day, and all she wanted was for the day to end already. But the universe seemed to have misunderstood her wish, because not only did her day not end, but she met with an accident that left her in a coma. As if that wasn't bad enough, she became trapped in a dimension between life and death, where she had to face a series of trials that would determine if she wakes... or fades from existence. Enter Zephyr, the spirit assigned to guide her to the light – her recovery. The spirit who never tried to disguise his want for her failure. The spirit she should've never fallen in love with. But in a world where survival is determined by the number of challenges a soul can conquer, the heart still found its way around love. With her complicated feelings in an already complicated world, Nova must decide what she's truly fighting for – her life, or the one being who's capable of ending it. *** In a short time, the remaining one hundred and twelve souls are pushed out.

Vassilia Auva, harus menerima fakta bahwa dirinya tiba-tiba bertransmigrasi ke tubuh Nona Clarence Divn Rivas, tokoh novel favoritnya, tepat di hari pernikahan. Tidak ada jalan lain. Meski dia tidak mengenal calon suaminya -sang Pangeran- dan sama sekali tidak mengerti dunia baru ini, pernikahan politik ini tetap harus berlangsung. Jika tidak, nyawanya adalah taruhannya. Tapi sebagai gantinya, Clarence mengajukan permohonan kepada Pangeran tepat sebelum mereka melakukan prosesi ciuman. "Aku akan memberikan apapun yang Yang Mulia mau. Aku akan membantu anda naik tahta. Tapi, ceraikan aku setelah satu tahun. Posisi Ratu sama sekali bukan yang aku inginkan, Yang Mulia." Seharusnya itu mudah. Mereka tidak saling mencintai. Bahkan menurut bisik-bisik para pelayan, sang Pangeran juga membenci August Rivas, Pamannya yang tidak mau mematuhi aturan Kerajaan. Menyulitkan posisinya. Secara otomatis, Pangeran seharusnya juga membenci Clarence. Tapi mengapa... "Cerai? Gila, gila, gila. Itu adalah hal paling gila yang pernah aku dengar. Jangan katakan itu lagi. Aku tidak ingin menjadi gila karena mendengarnya." Apa maksudmu? Anda telah berjanji! Bukankah ini adalah kesempatan terakhir untuk lepas dari wanita yang kau benci? "Yang Mulia... apakah anda gila?" Pangeran, yang telah naik tahta menjadi Raja, justru mengiyakan tanpa beban. "Setelah dipikir-pikir... ya. Aku telah menjadi gila karena memiliki istri segila kamu." Yah... mau bagaimana lagi? Yang bisa Clarence lakukan sekarang hanya menciptakan insiden besar untuk membuat Raja menceraikannya.
