Printed Books Vs E-books

Nightmare Land is a place unlike any other, where the rules of reality no longer apply. Portal, a character created by an author, has no memory of how he arrived in this strange realm, but he knows one thing: he was made to manage the author's books and handle the chaos they created. For years, he kept the books under control, but one day, when trying to portal back to where he belonged, his portals inexplicably took him to the Nightmare Realm—and refused to let him out. Now, trapped in this twisted land with only fragments of his past, Portal must navigate its dangers, using his ability to summon friends and characters from other books to help him survive. Communication with the author is rare, but when they can speak, they guide him through the trials he must face. In Nightmare Land, he meets new allies—the other Nightmare Lords. These former subjects of the Nightmare Master, each with their own deadly abilities, are also fighting for freedom through a series of brutal Trials. Portal must join forces with them, facing challenges that will test their will and strength. As he battles alongside them, he begins to regain his memories, unlocking the truth about his past, his purpose, and the dark forces that bind him to this world. To escape, he must uncover the secrets of the realm and survive the trials—or be trapped forever.

Setelah aku dipecat dari perusahaan, aku kembali ke kampung halaman dan setiap hari ikut Nenek main mahjong. Namun, seluruh keluargaku justru seperti orang gila, mencariku ke mana-mana. Hanya karena adik perempuanku, si genius desainer perhiasan di keluarga, tidak bisa menggambar desain lagi setelah aku pergi. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pada kompetisi desain perhiasan tingkat nasional, adik perempuanku selalu merancang desain yang sama persis denganku. Semua orang mengira akulah yang menjiplak, bahkan keluargaku sendiri pun membelanya dan memberi kesaksian untuknya. Perusahaan juga menetapkan bahwa aku berkelakuan tak bermoral dan menjiplak karya, hingga merusak reputasi perusahaan. Di tempat itu juga aku menerima surat pemecatan dan diwajibkan membayar ganti rugi dalam jumlah besar. Keluargaku pun menganggapku sebagai beban dan mengusirku dari rumah. Di bawah tekanan keluarga dan opini publik, aku menderita depresi. Saat berjalan di jalan raya, aku ditabrak sampai mati oleh penggemar fanatik adik perempuanku. Sebelum kesadaranku lenyap, aku tetap tidak mengerti mengapa adik perempuanku selalu bisa menggambar desain yang sama denganku. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke sehari sebelum kompetisi desain perhiasan tingkat nasional.

Hampir seluruh kalangan di Obria tahu bahwa Kepala Keluarga Ganendra sangat mencintai istrinya, bahkan bersedia menjalani vasektomi demi Riana. Petugas malah berkata dengan pasti, "Kolom ayah anak ini memang sudah kosong sejak awal pembuatan berkas."

Kepala Riana seketika terasa meledak, tubuhnya seperti jatuh ke dalam jurang es. Semua orang di lingkaran sosial tahu bahwa Riana pernah diadopsi oleh Keluarga Handoko. Namun, pada hari ketika Keluarga Handoko menemukan putri kandung mereka yang sebenarnya, mereka mengusir Riana dengan alasan bahwa dia telah merebut kehidupan putri asli mereka selama bertahun-tahun.

The books say that besides empaths, mages are the most sensitive when it comes to emotions. They also say that mages are the most dangerous supernatural s pecies to walk the earth. There's a reason for that, the elders say that mages who are underaged are a ticking time bomb because if a mage who is not of age constantly experiences negative emotions before their Coming of Age ceremony, their magic becomes twisted, their heart becomes cold and their eyes change to reflect that evil magic coursing through them. No one ever believed the books, thinking of them as fairy tales. At least they didn't until Olive Lane walked into school her magic dark and corrupted enough to give her a shadow familiar. Her hair no longer an almost white blond but a haunting purple. Gone were her kind and emotion-filled green eyes and in their place were amethyst eyes filled with nothing but hatred and amusement. Everyone watched her snap the neck of a classmate with the tilt of her head and it was in that moment they realized that the books and the elders were right. And for the first time in their peace-filled lives, the residents of Ravenswood felt true horror because when she looked at them, they knew that in front of them was the monster spoken of in fear and terrified reverence. Olive Lane,the sweetest and kindest person to ever walk the earth was now a Dark Mage. Will her soul be forever lost in the darkness or is there a hope for redemption? Will she defeat her demons or will they overtake her and ruin that which she loves...

Aku adalah putri kandung Keluarga Setiawan, juga memiliki “sistem pengamat drama”. Aku memang terlihat penurut dari luar, tetapi sebenarnya penuh perlawanan dalam hati. Hanya saja, aku tidak tahu bahwa isi hatiku bisa dibaca. Kakak-kakakku berkata, “Meski kamu itu adik kandung kami, kami hanya akui Cheryl sebagai adik. Sebaiknya kamu tahu diri.” Aku bergumam dalam hati, ‘Kayaknya aku sudah singgung Raja Neraka di kehidupan sebelumnya, makanya aku dilahirkan di Keluarga Setiawan di kehidupan ini.’ Langkah kakak-kakakku tiba-tiba terhenti. “Cheryl sangat penurut, juga sayang sama semua orang di keluarga ini. Kamu jangan coba-coba cari perhatian atau buat onar.” Aku mencibir dalam hati, ‘Dia sangat penurut sampai sebabkan orang di seluruh keluarga ini tewas. Cintanya pada kalian juga begitu besar sampai-sampai dia khianati kalian.’ Kali ini, ekspresi para kakak terlihat sangat aneh.

This is the first book in an 8 book series of hockey romances. All 8 books have an underlying theme of ‘life after loss’. My first book is about Natasha, a librarian in her 40s who lost a sibling as a teenager and never healed, preventing her from ever finding/committing to love…and the hockey coach who is twice divorced and has given up his dreams of ever finding his match and having a family-until he meets Natasha…. Will Coach Alex's love (along with his superior skills in the sack) be enough to break down the walls Natasha has held firm for over two decades? The 8 books go through the different players of the team, all having their own versions of loss to overcome, with the captain (Adam) being married to a woman (who happens to be a teacher at Natasha's school) who has a terminal illness and will eventually commit suicide in book 6 and the series ends with Adam's own second chance love story….
