Cutting the Edge

Cutting the Edge written by:  lollyluvsya

Summary:  Bella has a simple, quiet life. She owns her own hair salon in the quiet town of Forks but has always thirsted for more. A late customer finds her putting down the comb and chasing sexual chemistry. The charming and intense Edward Cullen is danger but somehow she can't help resist him. She just need to discover what he's hiding. EXB, Humans, Hot lemons, Rated M! **COMPLETE**

Ramble:  I'll admit that this story threw me for a loop.  The beginning was very calm, and then there is the mystery surrounding Edward.  Who comes and goes from town.  Bella wants to surprise Edward and is in turn surprised in turn.  After this surprise, the story is super action-packed, and it was hard to put the story down until you reach the end.  Very easy to read, and a little bit of everything to keep readers' attention and interest.

In My Brother's Shadow

In My Brother's Shadow written by:  2brown-eyes

Summary:  As a child, Bella always felt second best when in it came to her twin brother, Emmett. Now years later, an accident has brought her back to Forks. Will she be thrust back into her brother's shadow? Or will she be finally be seen as something other than Emmett's sister.

Ramble:  Ok, so this ramble will probably have some spoilers, but wow.  It has been a few days since I've read this story, and man, oh man, I still remember most of what happened (at least I think I do).  Emmett and Bella are siblings. Charlie is able to connect with Emmett more than Bella, and he just brushes her aside.  Eventually, Bella and Renee leave for sunnier places.  Renee is diagnosed with seasonal depression.  Renee dies before she married Phill, though they were in a serious relationship, and Alice is his daughter.  Bella is contacted when Charlie and Emmett are in an accident.  Skipping over things, Edward is in trouble with his parents, and in general because of street racing.  He and Bella start to hang out with each other.  Bella learns a lot more about her brother during her stay in Forks.  Later, we find out that there is some undercover work going on.  By the end of the story, there are a few characters that I wanted to go in and smack, though things do work out for the most part.  The abuse tag is there, for some of the violence that was hinted at, and the fact that there is some abuse, as Carlisle said, not all abuse is physical.

In the Shadows

In the Shadows written by:  Hoodfabulous

Summary:  Born into a life of power and privilege, Edward wants nothing more than to pledge his loyalty to his family, especially to his father, Carlisle. Drugs is money, money is power, and power is everything. Or is it? OS. Written in 2014. Repost. Banner by Obsessedtwibrarian

Ramble:  I'll have to admit that I was a little thrown off by this story.  From the label of the characters in the story, I expected things to go a little different.  Though it did make sense at the end of the story.  Maybe I was thinking a lot about The King and I?  This story reminded me a lot of 'we kiss in the shadows'.  So maybe the way this story turned out wasn't that big of a surprise.
