-Ambys Favourite Paranormal Novel 2024- - Winner of the Tricolor Triennial Awards Paranormal 2023 - Keeping her true nature hidden was supposed to be simple. Go to work, pay taxes, don't eat too many humans. Easy enough. But when Celandine Doukas crosses paths with the Supernatural Council's head of mysteries, and a necromancer with godlike ambitions, secrecy goes up in smoke. As tensions escalate and suspicion grows, Celandine finds herself drawn to the secretive Druid Leofstan, who is unafraid to challenge her facade and leave her grappling with the consequences of her actions. The only hope she has of proving her innocence is to hunt the true creature lurking within the darkness, but it's about to find out Celandine's claws are a lot sharper. Luckily, she isn't afraid to leave a few more bodies along the way, as being diabolical is deliciously delightful... Ranking achievements: #1 Paranormal, Shifter, Supernatural (June 24) # 1 Magic council, Unseelie, Faery, Spellcaster Druid #2 Gothic #6 Antagonist #15

It's a bit ironic that she doesn't like them because they seem to love her. After a chance encounter leads her into the arms of the hottest hero around, Spitfire, Nova is thrust into a world of capes and crusaders that just can't seem to let her be. Cover by @Sinadana

Sirens are foretold to be breathtakingly beautiful, enchanting, and merciless with their victims. A siren's voice is like poison to their prey: it consumes, it tortures, it destroys. To give mercy to the humans is to be weak, but mercy is all their Princess is made of. Aelila Corearien is the opposite of any other siren. She's selfless, affectionate, incapable of a kill: weak. When the humans poison her kind with a new deadly weapon after years of not attacking, it costs Aelila one of her own and her mother's impending wrath. The Siren Queen sends her daughter on land to carry out her revenge: to kill the human King once and for all. Aelila then finds herself sent into the midst of the human royal court to fulfill her mother's biding, but there's one problem. Aelila can't kill, and she doesn't want to become the monster the deed would make her. Instead, Aelila is thrown into a courtly battle as she faces enemies, self-doubt, and her growing affections for a human Prince. • 🌊||COMPLETED||🌊 🏆#10 in "sirens" 2/26/19 🏆#5 in "creatures" 3/18/19 🏆#1 in "seas" 5/21/19 🏆#15 in "medieval" 7/8/19 🏆#25 in "mystical" 9/15/19 🏆#3 in "siren" 10/17/19 🧜🏼‍♀️ 1k on July 6, 2019‼️ 🧜🏼‍♀️ 2k on November 28, 2019‼️ Cover by: @Jells_

Four bad boys, Ayden, Hayden, Brayden, and Okayden, try to form a school club to learn how to fight their bad boy instincts, or succumb to cliches trying. ******* When Ayden's six-pack appeared when he was nine, he realized that he was born to be a bad boy. Far for embracing it, he has dedicated his whole life to avoid every cliche in the book, from girls with mysterious pasts stumbling into him in the hallways, to always changing schools to be the "mysterious new kid," to ancient beings asking him to be a chosen one every other day. But a fated encounter with the captain of the football team makes him realized that he is not the only one cursed with being a bad boy. There are others like him. Alone, they are weak. Together, they are strong. Sort of. With the mission to finding others cursed with being bad boys, Ayden and his new friends will work together to make a school club where they can help each other avoid the trappings of cliche and finish the school year unscathed. That is, if they can convince the student council president to let them form the club in the first place. [SEASON 1 COMPLETED] [SEASON 2 COMPLETED] [SEASON 3 COMPLETED] Cover by @Feralshadow

Danielle Carpenter has lived a life some might call boring, but she'd always loved language, and however much her parents might say specializing in Old English is a useless waste of life, it was her passion. But things are about to change. A seemingly harmless pastime leaves her life in shambles; with all she had ever held dear gone, her life is boiled down to just struggling to stay alive. When, months later, she is rescued, it isn't to return to the life she once knew, but to one she's wholly unprepared for. She scrambles for a grasp on things as legend and reality blend. Should she let the legend play out to its foregone conclusion? Or should she try for a happily ever after for all, and the consequences be damned... *This is my 2016 NaNoWriMo project, so enjoy and as always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.*

My name is Violet Devereux and I am a superhero. Okay, not technically a superhero because I can't fly, or shoot lasers from my eyes. I am a perfectly ordinary girl in her twenties, except at night when I put on a disguise and become Justice: the hero-vigilante of London, England. Life was good until he showed up. His name is Ghoul and he is a real superhero. Super strength, super speed, super good-looks (he wears a mask, but I assume), super perfect golden hair, and rumoured super hearing. His only flaw? He is no hero. ** Currently adding some fresh updates **
