No Strings Attached

I liked it here, so did Amanda. ... Celeste ran away, twice. The first time she was gone fur days before they found her at a bus station a state away. Amanda cried the whole time she was gone. She came back, defiant and angry. I waited until I could talk to her alone and laid it out. "You know, you'd be a good kid if you'd let yourself. You're pretty smart, it looks like you could figure out what kind of life you would have n the streets. A drugged, disease riddled whore most likely, old before your time and dead before thirty. Is that what you want? Here it is, plain and simple. You run again, and you won't come back. In three more years you'll be sixteen. I'll pay your court costs for eman

The Final Straw

The Final Straw

However, over time, I did start to miss home. I was surprised; I hadn’t expected Jace to notice. “But will the others agree? “Most of the pack is from the South. Many of them ended up here with no choice. “It’s time to go home. “And… I want to go back there with you.” The sincerity in his eyes moved me. Not long after, the pack set out for the South. I only told a few close friends I was returning. But on the day I arrived at the port, I saw Leon.

Stranded with My Stepbrother

Stranded with My Stepbrother

Stumpy chuckled, reached out, and squeezed one of my breasts instead. I yelped and jumped back, wrapping my arms around my chest. “Perfect. Just perfect.” Stumpy handed me the book. “Enjoy. I’ll be in my tent, thinking about you and jacking off.” I felt sickened and raced back to my tent with the book. I’d earned it, after all, though I was never asking Stumpy for a book again. Once in my tent with the door zipped shut, I hugged my knees and let a few tears fall. I felt so… dirty.

Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha

Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha

From outside the door, I could just make out the sounds of voices and knocking, but Brady’s constant stream of verbal abuse kept me from being able to hear what they were saying, or really focus on it at all. Suddenly, the clothing that had been hiding me was gone, and I can see Cordelia, Atlas, and a stranger’s face peering down at me with concern. I stare at them blankly as I see their mouths move, but Brady calling me his plaything drowns out their words entirely.

His Stripper

His Stripper

She stood there, her breath shaky, fingers brushing nervously against her sides. “Strip,” he ordered. Her eyes widened, pulse thundering. “Right here? Now?” Right. No questions allowed. She clenched her jaw, fighting the sting of humiliation that mixed with a strange thrill crawling along her skin. The awareness of his eyes on her was heavy and warm. Slowly, her fingers went to the first button of her oversized shirt. Her hands shook, but she kept going, even as heat crept up her neck. She shut her eyes, trying to block out the embarrassment, trying to swallow down the vulnerability biting at her.

MORE THAN A STRANGER

MORE THAN A STRANGER

It was quiet, almost sacred, with sunlight streaming through the large windows and rows of books inviting me to lose myself in their worlds. I wandered through the aisles aimlessly until I stumbled across a section on business biographies. My fingers hovered over the spines until I spotted one that looked familiar: Against All Odds: The Rise of Evan Bennett. I pulled the book from the shelf, my heart racing. I hadn't known a biography about him existed. The cover featured a candid photo of Evan, his piercing eyes staring directly at the camera.

Fifty Strikes and I'm Out

Fifty Strikes and I'm Out

I was surrounded. Before I could react, a hand yanked my hair back hard. A leering laugh echoed above me. "Don't be scared. We'll make sure you enjoy this…" Ahead of me, a masked man stood under the dim streetlamp. The reek of alcohol coming off him made me dizzy. His hands roamed over me before locking tightly around my waist. "Wow, you've got such a tiny waist." I fought back the urge to throw up and kicked upward with all my strength. "Get off!"

After Silver Prison

After Silver Prison

I’d been forgotten in hell. The other inmates called me “the stray nobody wanted”. Violence was their sport; filthy words were their weapon. “Still lying about being Alpha’s lover? How come he never visits?” Their laughter echoed off the walls as fists rained down on me. “You think you could be a Luna? Wake up! You’re a stray dog. Say it!” Curled up on the floor, bleeding and crying, I whispered, “I’m sorry… I’m a stray dog. I don’t deserve Alpha… I won’t love him again…”

Frequently Asked Questions

The Strays' premise hooked me immediately—it’s this unsettling blend of domestic drama and psychological tension. The story follows Lily, a lonely girl who gets drawn into the orbit of the Trenthams, a bohemian artist family that seems glamorous but hides dark secrets. The way the author, Emily Bitto, paints their world is intoxicating; you almost feel the heat of Australian summers and the chaos of their free-spirited lifestyle. But beneath the surface, there’s neglect and manipulation, especially toward the kids. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion—you know something’s off, but you can’t look away. The book’s real strength is how it explores the cost of artistic obsession and the fragility of childhood friendships. I finished it in one sitting, haunted by how easily idealism can curdle into something dangerous.

What stuck with me was the ending—no tidy resolutions, just messy, lingering consequences. It reminded me of Donna Tartt’s 'The Secret History' in how it dissects the allure of charismatic outsiders. If you’re into stories about flawed families or the price of nonconformity, this one’s a gem.
