One last summer
by Fay.oza
Evie has always believed there would be plenty of time for everything—until a life-changing diagnosis makes her question just how much time she really has. With one summer ahead of her, Evie creates a bucket list filled with things she's always wanted to experience: adventures, new places, unforgettable memories, and moments she'll never want to forget. With her best friend Zainab and her closest friend Diego by her side, what begins as a simple list quickly turns into a summer none of them could have imagined. Between laughter, unexpected adventures, friendship, family, travel, first love, and secrets Evie isn't ready to share, every item on the list brings her closer to the people she loves—and to discovering what it truly means to live. But as the summer moves forward, Evie begins to realize that some memories are more precious than others, and some feelings are harder to keep hidden. One last summer. One unforgettable bucket list. And a story about friendship, love, courage, and making every moment count.
Beloved Dawn
by Lyssa Fae
Shani is a young princess of Gildan, a kingdom where everyone is the same. Pale skin. Pale eyes. Pale hair. Everyone but her. Born from a union her kingdom believes should never have happened, Shani wears a crystal bangle that erases everything she is: her brown skin, her pointed ears, even her glow. All so the people around her can be comfortable. She doesn't mind. As long as everyone is happy, it is worth it. But the palace is not as safe as she believes. And the people she loves are not always who she thinks they are. As the world she knows begins to crack at the edges, Shani must decide who she is beyond the bracelet, and whether the love she has fought so hard to keep was ever really hers to begin with. Because sometimes the ones who say they love you are the ones holding the cage door shut.
Lover In The Dark
by Baderzain
He was not a mafia leader, and he did not rule the dark clans like the others. He wasn't a 'Don' or a typical criminal leader; he was something different—something the underworld had needed for a long time. He was the Judge. He was the man who headed the judicial system that administered the laws within the Mafia. A judge whose hand on the table carried the weight of new rulings, shaping the future of the underworld. But what happens when he marries a wealthy Russian princess who carries art in one hand and beauty in the other? And what will change when he learns that she may not be what she seems... that she was, in fact, forged in the darkness? "Because she was darkness, she chose to be a lover in the dark." Will the world of chaos be overturned? And will his heart, which had long ago retired from its duties, finally rebel?

Asher Thorne was the hottest, attractive and most popular kid in school. Bad boy, star hockey player, arrogant and snobbish. I stared down at the ridiculous message typed on my phone screen... And that was how it all started for the scholarship student, Grace Williams, the cool genius who preferred to stay invisible and out of trouble.But not for long. Thanks to Mia, she gets tangled with Asher and the fresh troubles that came with their forbidden alliance. Determined to tame the bad boy, she steps into a world of secrets, rivalry, and dangerous attraction. Will she survive it? And more importantly… will she dare to step into the love zone?

The Malika Heir
by Barati Haizel
Reina Malika did not spend decades building the most feared mafia empire in the country just to watch her father hand it to her useless younger brother , Theo Malika. The empire exists because of her. Every alliance, every fortune, every ounce of blood spilled bears her name. But in the Malika family, being a daughter is still her greatest crime. If she wants the throne she earned, she will have to take it by force. Then fate deals her an even crueler blow. Five years after her only son disappeared to escape the mafia life, Reina finds Lorenzo on the opposite side of a gold-heist battlefield wearing a Military Intelligence uniform.

But when blood loyalty collides with duty, buried love resurfaces, and betrayal lurks inside both families, Lorenzo must choose. Will he become the soldier who destroys the Malika empire or the heir destined to rule it?
Every Point Brings Me Closer to His Death
by ADEDEJI
I thought the strip was the safest place in the world. Fourteen metres of rubber, two people, one blade each, and rules older than the country. Then I won a bout I was not supposed to be in, in a basement I was not supposed to find, against a boy in a white jacket who bled black onto the floor and then apologized to me for it. Now there is a mark on the inside of my wrist that was not there in September. Now, when I score on Ilan Brassard, I see things. A harbour I have never visited. A brother I never had. A woman screaming his name in a language that has been dead for two hundred years. Fourteen touches to go. The houses tell me this is an honour. They tell me the bond will make me rich, protected, permanent. They tell me my mother's illness is nothing a house physician cannot fix, and they are not lying. They just forgot to mention what happens to Ilan at fifteen. He did not forget. He knew on the first night. That is why he never once tried to win.
Rin's Road

Rin is a girl with no memories, no wand, and no understanding of the world around her. Found wandering alone, she’s taken in by a high-ranking Enforcer and placed on a path she never chose — one caught between the politics of magical elites, the scars of a forgotten war, and the slow, painful process of becoming someone real. As others fight for power, Rin fights to understand what it means to be a child… and whether she even gets to be one.

The astral keys
by D.R.Louis
In a galaxy where magic and advanced technology coexist, Jason is a magician-for-hire and detective who makes a living uncovering the truth behind strange cases. But when a routine investigation leads him to a mysterious ancient station, Jason discovers evidence of the Astral Keys-seven powerful objects scattered across the galaxy. As a dangerous group begins hunting for the Keys, Jason and his new assistant Zoe are pulled into a mystery far bigger than either of them expected. Following clues left behind by those who came before them, they uncover hidden stations, forgotten secrets, and enemies willing to destroy anyone who gets in their way. With one Astral Key already in the hands of those searching for them, Jason must find the others before the people behind the hunt do. The deeper he investigates, the more he realizes that the truth behind the Astral Keys may be more dangerous than the power they contain.

What happens in Vegas (Finished)
by Tazz McGregor
Kenna wasn't supposed to fall in love in Las Vegas. She was there to celebrate her 21st birthday, keep a promise to her late mother, and go home. Instead, a handsome stranger stole her table. His best friend married her best friend by morning. And before she had time to catch her breath, a letter she had been too afraid to open shattered everything she thought she knew about who she was and where she came from. Matt is everything Kenna didn't plan for: infuriating, warm, and completely unwilling to let her walk away. He carries his own complications: a scheming ex-fiancee who will stop at nothing, a father more interested in power than people, and a family that treats love like a business transaction. Kenna has complications of her own. Hidden in the bottom of her handbag is a letter from her mother, her last words, that ties Kenna to the very world Matt has been trying to escape. What starts as one reckless night in the city that never sleeps quickly becomes something neither of them expected: a chance at the kind of love that only works when you are willing to fight for it. What Happens in Vegas... is a story about the family you are given, the family you choose, and the ones you find when you least expect to. About secrets that protect and secrets that wound. About a mother's love that reaches further than she ever knew. And about two people who walked into Las Vegas looking for one thing and walked out with everything.
A Cage Called Destiny
by vielwords
Anaya never believed in marriage. To escape every proposal, she created a simple game—three impossible wishes, one café, and a list of conditions no man had ever accepted. Until Reyansh. Instead of walking away, he challenged every rule she had built around herself, forcing her into a marriage neither of them could have imagined. What begins as a clash of two stubborn strangers slowly turns into something far more complicated, where trust is fragile, emotions are dangerous, and every answer only seems to raise more questions. But not every story begins where it appears to. Some truths are buried beneath silence. Some promises were made long before they ever met. And sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't the one you see coming—it's the one that has been waiting from the very beginning.
To Earn a Crowded Funeral
by Rub
Nicolau Britton, reborn as a baby while retaining his memories, finally obtains what he never had on Earth—an older brother who would risk his life to protect him, a mother who adores him, and a life worth living again. But this new family is built upon a secret implanted at the time of his birth by his missing father. And when that father returns to reclaim it, there is no salvation in “innocence.” Inspired by Mushoku Tensei (I added Turning Points), this is a story about family, brutal loss, and survival. I've created a very unique dark fantasy setting inspired by medieval Portugal.
About Young Adult
Young Adult is fiction written for — and about — the years when everything is happening for the first time. The protagonist is usually a teenager standing at the edge of adulthood, and the stories run on the emotional voltage of that moment: the first love, the first real betrayal, the first time the world asks who you actually are. YA spans every setting — dystopia, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi — but the through-line is a coming-of-age heart.
The genre minted modern publishing's biggest crossover hits — The Hunger Games, Divergent, Six of Crows, The Fault in Our Stars — and on serial platforms like Wattpad it's one of the largest reader communities anywhere, skewing young, loyal, and voracious. These readers binge, they comment, and they follow authors across whole series.
IlorisNovel hosts YA the way a serial generation wants to read it: ad-free, privacy-first with no trackers, audio on every chapter, and authors keep 91–93% of every coin readers spend. If you've built a following on Wattpad, bring it here and keep what you earn.
