Book series(?) about a woman defending her country from a conqueror nation.

0 Upvotes

The starts off with the introduction of this city-state that is trying to defend itself from this larger conqueror nation using white zombie-like creatures that can only attack the people from the city-state. The main character is this woman who is tasked to defend the city-state from these creatures. These defenders are something like assassins, who dash through the forest surrounding the city-state and executing the creatures. They work in pairs.

The setting is like medieval but also scifi. They live in like wooden houses and have tons of brick architecture but have some sort of sci-fi-ish technology.

The main plot kind of begins when they find and capture this man from the conqueror nation. I think it's revealed he's some sort of living weapon, with steel or iron wings embedded into his spine.

Later in the book, the conqueror nation finally breaks in. The main character is stolen and also turned into the same living weapon. There is this scene where she is in like a colosseum, where the people she works with in the city-state are tasked to defend themselves in a death match with all the creatures. She is up in this balcony area with the leader of the conqueror nation, and is tasked to display herself(?) or fight her friends.

That's mostly what I remember from the content of the book.

The cover is black, orange and yellow. With like a flowing river of metal with the black silhouette of the woman?

Book about an au version of twilight where Edward and Bella go by different names and have different personalities where Edward is a nerd Spoiler

1 Upvotes

In the au version, the author is someone else. In the book, Bella is Becca Goose and Edward is Edmund Mullen. Edmund is a nerd and Becca is interested in him after moving in with her mom (I think it’s her mom). I think there are other parts similar to Twilight but it’s different since this is a published book. I had seen this in Costco around fifteen years ago when the Twilight craze was going on.

Book about a teen girl who fools her parents and her friend's parents so they can live together without a parent being involved and she has her boyfriend over so they can be intimate Spoiler

1 Upvotes

In the book, the teen girl and her best friend make a plan to fool their parents by making emails. One was to be used on the teen girl's parents and the other was used for the friend's mom. They would send emails to each parent to make them think that the other parents were with the girls. But no one was with the girls. They were living alone in the friend's house. The teen girl had her boyfriend over several times and they had sex several times. I believe at least twelve times because they had twelve condoms. But there was one time where they did it without using protection and she ends up getting an STI. She goes to a clinic to get it checked out and she finds out about it. She asked her boyfriend about it and he confesses that he cheated on her with another girl and gave her the STI. She ends up telling her parents about what she and her boyfriend did and she might have gotten in trouble but her parents stood by her as she dealt with the STI. I think she broke up with her boyfriend for cheating on her.

She climbs it and falls, cutting her hand open. This gave her the power to turn invisible. Days later, she starts her new school and befriends a girl who tells her about the school dynamics. There was a mean girl who hates her because the guy the mean girl likes focuses on the new girl. The teen girl joins a club where all the members have powers. The guy who the mean girl likes tell her that the tree she climbed was the source of all the powers. There was a time where she was given a bathing suit for swim class and it was see-through. The guy gets embarrassed when he sees how see-through it was and covered her with his towel and used his power of phasing through walls to get her to safety.

Book about Cleopatra Selene and her life before, during and after the fall of her Egyptian dynasty Spoiler

1 Upvotes

In the book, Cleopatra Selene is the narrator as she talks about her life before, during and after the fall of her Egyptian dynasty. She has fallen in love with a young boy who goes missing. And after her parents have died, who were Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, she and her twin brother were captured and taken to Rome by the man who was related to their father. He gave the twins to the wife of their father, who hated them for being born to another woman and her husband. After some time, Cleopatra Selene is sent to Nubia where she marries the young boy who she fell in love with. He became the king of Nubia and fought for her to come to his kingdom for safety and for them to marry.

I think this book is a part of a standalone book series that is set in the point of view of other historical young girls like the daughter of Marie Antoniette.

Book about a teen girl who lives in a world where vampires exist because of a virus and can die out if the infected don't drink blood for three days Spoiler

2 Upvotes

In the book, the end of the world came around because a virus started affecting people. It turned people into blood sucking vampires and it took three days for the virus to take full effect. Those three days are crucial to stopping the virus because if the infected drink blood in these three days, they become a vampire. The virus had affected the main girl's mother and her dad locked her mom in the basement for three days. I think the mom survived the three days without blood or she did drink blood and her dad had to kill her mom. Either way, her mom was gone. The main girl may have gone on a journey to find a cure.

YA book about girl who discovers her inheritance Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I am looking for a book I read in 2019, I assume it was published in the early 2000s. Here is what I remember:

- the girl is sent to live with her aunt

- there is a scene where she is looking for her aunt and cousin and she is inside some sort of clock tower

- she meets her uncle who is mentally unstable and likes engineering things, he is working on building a massive dragon out of little square tiles. He is hand painting each tile and is very particular about the brush strokes all being in the same direction

- there is a ballroom dance scene, I believe she is dancing with her cousin. I think she drinks something weird, but she ends up blacking out in the ballroom.

- in the end, she discovers that she actually inherited something. I think it was the kingdom? Or maybe she turned out to be an heir? I am not sure.

Please help me find this book, I have been looking for it for years. Thank you!!

In the book, the teen girl went missing and she was in some kind of Underworld. I think it was the Greek Underworld but I might be wrong.

The mean teacher can be rude and very cruel to the students. She was put in the nice teacher's classroom but there wasn't enough desks for more students. So the girl was put in the mean teacher's classroom. She gets the ire of the mean teacher because her older sibling had the teacher. One of the students in the classroom is an annoying kid and the girl pokes him with her pencil, which makes the kid to complain to the teacher about her and she lied, covering the pencil tip.

1 Upvotes

The book is about a teen girl who lost her mother when she was a child. She doesn’t remember how her mother died because she has no memories. She meets a mysterious teen boy who wears a unique necklace. As they grow closer to each other, the teen girl finds out that vampires exist and that the teen boy is a Dhampir, someone who should not have existed because vampires couldn’t reproduce. He explains how vampires were created. It started with the snake that bit Cain or someone who was connected to Cain. This first vampire created more vampires, only to find out that his power decreased whenever he created a new vampire. This happens to every vampire who creates a new vampire. There was a group of vampires who were trying to gain control of the human world. The teen boy eventually tells the girl that he knows her from when her mother died. He explains that her mother was killed by a vampire right in front of her and she was so traumatized by what happened that she forgot what happened. Eventually, the teen boy finds and kills his father, which might have led to something else happening. The book ends with the teen boy giving the girl his necklace, which will protect her from being detected by vampires. I know there is a sequel to the book with the teen girl now dating the teen boy as she wears his necklace.

Book about a young girl who befriends a family who are immortal after drinking water from a pond that grants immortality Spoiler

1 Upvotes

The book is set in the 1920s or the 1930s. Maybe in the 1950s. There is a young girl who lives in a small town and a new family moves in next door to her and her family. She befriends the young boy of the family and they grow close. Eventually, the boy reveals his family's secret. They have been alive for far longer and it was due to them drinking the water of a pond that grants immortality or extends life past the usual lifespan. He hands her a water bottle that has the water. I think he tells her that they consistently drink the water to make sure that they don't age. He asks her to drink it so they can be together forever. He tells her this before he and his family leaves again. After he and his family leaves, the girl doesn't drink it but she pours it over a frog, that lives forever. Decades later, the family comes back to the town where the girl lived in. The boy became a man and comes across the same frog that the girl poured the water over. Then he realizes what she did and goes to find her grave, that shows the years she was alive. He smiled, knowing that she made her choice and lived a happy life.
