Inventing Fiction

Morgan Beringer

The town gleams with the kind of charm that invites trust, and hides rot. Drawn back by questions that never died, she begins to unearth the stories no one dares speak aloud. He, a figure once celebrated for crafting illusions, finds his creations bleeding into the world around him. 
Their paths collide, tangled in half-truths and distorted memories. What begins as a search for clarity becomes a descent into layered narratives, each more uncertain than the last. Characters from the past resurface with altered faces, motives hidden behind practiced sincerity. The boundaries between performance and confession, invention and history, begin to dissolve. 
As trust erodes and time runs thin, they must confront a chilling possibility: some lies were never lies at all, they were warnings, ignored. And the mask isn’t just worn by others.

Church - A Dark Asylum Bully...

Anonimo

The last time I spoke was eight years ago when my best friend tried to kill me. I never dreamed my silence would break with a scream. Being sent to Chapel Crest after my new stepfather deemed me a heathen seemed like a blessing compared to staying with him and my mom. I was a mute demon in his eyes, and when the rod didn’t beat the evil out of me, he prayed Chapel Crest could. 
I envisioned the religious academy would become my sanctuary. I was wrong. So very wrong. Chapel Crest was an asylum moonlighting as a religious school. It's where the meds take out the demons in your head or the punishments from the staff will. 
If this place and its rules didn’t break me, Dante Church and his cult of bullies would. 
They called themselves the Watchers. They were dark and ruthless—everything a girl like me should avoid. But maybe something was wrong with me because the thought of being on my knees for the four devils appeals to me. 
Even if it meant I was praying for survival. 
Going to Church took on a whole new meaning at Chapel Crest. 
Church is book one of The Boys of Chapel Crest. It’s a dark bully romance with four guys chasing one girl. There is no choosing. Only begging. And lots of praying. Please listen to the foreword.
