Marie Lu Books Novels & Stories

Aurora said, recalling Maria’s exact words. “That was what I saw in the article,” she replied and Aurora sighed. “I don't want to talk or think about it. I will just keep reading my book.” Aurora said and opened her book then started to read. Maria furrowed her brows, staring at the book in her hand. The book cover was brown and it looked old. Maria got curious and she moved closer to her, she leaned closer to Aurora and stared at the book. She frowned and looked at Aurora. “Aurora, what are you doing?” Maria asked and Aurora looked at her.

Mari held the bullet between her neatly manicured but now-bloody fingers and admired the blood-stain projectile against the faint light of the room. "Why is it that every time we decide to help each other, one of us gets shot?" she asked nonchalantly. And I breathed out a faint laughter. It's all I can manage with my deteriorating energy. "I need you to stay awake, Lucas." I saw her bring the needle to the open wound and she worked with it like a pro. I didn't even feel the pain when the needle pricked my flesh. "Talk to me," I whispered, praying that her tense voice would keep me up. Usually I have a higher tolerance with pain but perhaps this blue-balls thing isn't really working for me.

They had spoken some more before Marie told James she would get Steven to call him back. Marie heard the door swing open as the two men walked into the suite. Feigning disinterest, she picked up Steven’s book, the one he had been reading and stretched out on the bed. “What are you doing?” He asked, looking pointedly at the book. “Just some light reading.” Shaking his head, Steven said, “I do not like creases or dog ears on my books.” “Yes, Sir.” Marie answered in a syrupy voice which didn't fool Steven.

“Let’s pick up some pizza and head home. You know how your mother gets when she’s hungry.” He laughed. “Not as angry as you, Dad.” The Fifth Republic Series continues with Luca's story in The Emperor.

She rolled her eyes at me as she opened the door, “Well no one would believe you even if you came out to say that, bitter lilith.” To think we used to be close when we were younger was something that felt unreal whenever I thought about it. And right now, we were just the Belluci women who got compared each day, side by side by everyone. While Yara was the Angelic Belluci, whom people saw as the pure, cute, innocent and handworking billionaire Belluci that had a successful brand, I was the Lilith Belluci, the ruthless, always on edge woman who needed to get laid, had the most sour expression, heartless and who had taken over half of her father’s Mafia business, because of reasons best known

Every time Lyra smiled, Marie saw the man who had loved her for a summer and then let his mother's silence swallow him whole. "Coming, baby," Marie called out, her voice cracking. She shoved the lunch box into Lyra’s backpack and hurried her out the door to the neighbor who took her to school. As soon as the door closed, Marie collapsed against it. The "Vance Curse" was back. And this time, it was circling Lily. Marie knew exactly what was happening at that hospital. Eleanor wasn't there for "support." She was there to perform an audit on a human life. She was doing to Lily what she had done to Marie, but with more legal paperwork and higher stakes.

It was a stark contrast to the opulent surroundings, seemingly forgotten but holding hidden treasures within. The room was dimly lit, with shelves upon shelves of carefully arranged books. The scent of aged paper greeted my nose, and dust particles danced in the slivers of light that seeped through the tightly closed curtains. With another two security guards approaching, I cautiously retreated into the room, seeking refuge. As I glanced at the books strewn across the table, memories of Luciana's confession flooded my mind. Her mother had supposedly written a book about magic which was confiscated by the king and kept them. A notion that piqued my curiosity. Something about those volumes see

I hadn't prohibited this room for anyone, so I couldn’t blame Mariella for the irritation I felt. She was inside the room, on her tiptoes over the two-staired ladder, trying to reach for the books over the shelf. This girl would get herself in trouble if left alone for a single second. But in this scenario, I wouldn’t blame her height, but that fucking ladder. Was that even a ladder? A crisp sound reached my ears, and my eyes snapped toward the leg of the shelf. The wood had rotten because of the dampness in the room. I rushed inside, knowing full well what was about to happen. Mariella wasn’t even aware of the whole situation.

It was no ordinary book and neither was it meant for ordinary people. ‘’I need to get something for myself’’ Mara says walking onto the shelf hidden at the far end of the room. It is composed of books from history to spell casting and some hybrid notifications. She was not interested in any of the books, not until the red cover book fell to the ground catching her attention. ‘’Ways to make it work’’ the title read. Mara had no idea of what the book was about; those words were all it had and the back was completely plain and painted red.

No matter how Lu tried to ignore his ex-wife, he couldn't get his face off the booklet she had dropped on the table. It seems like it kept drawing him, asking him to take a peep or touch it at least. "What's inside" he finally asked. "Check for your self" Flavia replied. She tapped on the booklet waiting for Lu's reaction but he didn't stare. Her smile shirked into a frown as she stood up and walked to him, with one of her hands holding the book and the order on his shoulder, she sigh.
