His orders were simple: interrogate the Demon prince and then kill him. He can't afford to pity the Demon--much less fall for him. *** Fourteen years ago, the Demons conquered the world, decimating the Guardian order and enslaving humanity. Now, the last Guardians live underground, quietly rebuilding and waiting for a chance to strike back. Remgar, a noble Guardian hardened by loss, is honored with a mission of vengeance: interrogate the High Demon Prince and break him. It seems like a dream come true-until he meets the prisoner. Isalio, the younger brother of the Demon High Prince, is sarcastic, disarmingly sweet, and far too human. As forbidden feelings percolate between interrogator and captive, Remgar is forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any Demon: he doesn't want to break Isalio. He wants to save him. Torn between the oath he swore and the heart he never meant to offer, Remgar must decide what kind of Guardian he truly is. Because in a world where evil reigns and love is a death sentence, choosing wrong could doom them both. WARNING: This story contains content that may not be suitable for some readers.

Goat sucker. Overgrown lizard. Monster. Miguel is all too familiar with the many names humans have for chupacabras. As a member of a struggling pack, he knows how unfair the world can be to his kind. With their scaly bodies, sharp claws, and flesh-melting venom, it's no wonder humans fear them. After Miguel protects a human from his pack leader at the only restaurant that caters to chupacabras, his life takes a turn for the strange when he is offered a job as a chef. Adapting to the culinary chaos soon becomes the least of Miguel's worries as he finds himself falling for Alejandro, an outspoken chef who treats him with more compassion than even his own kind. But what human would ever love a chupacabra? With the restaurant struggling to stay afloat, inter-species tensions flaring, and Alejandro's ex serving as a constant reminder of what he can never be, will Miguel be able to take the heat, or will he be forced out of the kitchen?

"We were both broken glasses, how could we have touched each other without bleeding?", Shroud ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We were both unfinished stories, getting dusty on this chessboard of life. For a long time, we were in a stalemate, then our paths crossed and we swapped places. He wrote my fate and I wrote his. It was a battle to behold, gritty and gory and glorious. It started with that damned sarcophagus, the taboot-e-Zeenat. Everyone wanted a piece of it for themselves. So did I. So did him. Who wouldn't want to go back in time to fix all the wrongs? Who wouldn't want every wish to be fulfilled? We both did; the sarcophagus was going to give us that. And we were ready to go to all lengths for it. We had no rules, no conscience. The problem was only one of us could have it. And I was not one for sharing. 1) RANKING#1 KNIVESANDPENS( 28 Feb 2022) 2) Ranking #2 QUEENANDKINGS(MARCH 2022) 3) Ranking #2 Jinns(april) ArabianNights #1( may) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " Missed me?", He whispered. I tried moving my hand toward the dagger strapped to my thigh. "Oh no you don't! ", he crooned "You are supposed to be dead.", I greeted between my teeth, my face stinging from the bite of cold stones as he pressed me harder into the wall. " How could I, when your aim is so bad ?", He sounded almost sorry for that. "My aim is fine ", I bit back, as I moved against him in an attempt to make some room. "You mean you just happened to miss my heart when you stabbed me in the chest. Careful! words might get out that Shroud is losing her touch.", He said with a chuckle. I continued my futile attempt to free myself. I could dislodge him, I could hurt him, I could escape but then I would have to go full-blown; To that mindless vengeful creature. "Stop it, it's having the opposite effect of what you are intending", He groaned. For a moment I stilled as I realised what he meant, his body was flushed against mine. There was not an inch of space between us.

Two girls. Two dragons. One war. The two nations of Ledah and Dreg have lived in relative harmony for centuries. However, this all ended a little over five years ago with a dispute involving a slain dragon and a stolen egg. A war was sparked by the conflict, bathing the once-peaceful land in blood and tears. For many years this war has raged, and lakes of blood, both human and dragon, have been spilled. The end is obscured in the cries of the dead, and a thick mist of disharmony and mistrust blocks all resolutions. Only a true union, forged on trust and caring, could return peace to this land. Aneira, lead captain of Ledah, strives to make her nation proud. Devyn, lead captain of Dreg, strives to keep her position and life. When Aneira is captured by the Dregian captain, she finds herself forced to travel on a dangerous quest with Devyn-one that both are reluctant to depart on. Their mission: to find and retrieve the magical weapon that may just put an end to this war. That's assuming something won't come between them first. _____ If you're a fan of dragons, queer characters, sword-fighting, and enemies-to-lovers romance, this is 100% the book for you!

It contains romance storylines but there are a lot of other kinds of relationships represented. Most of the characters in the series are queer, including the main character who is ace. The worldbuilding includes vampires, immortals, and magic, with my personal twist on the lore. There is definitely drama in the story but also a lot of fluff. *** TW : violence, grief, addiction.

**AMBYS 2022 WINNER** He'll never play piano again. That's what virtuoso pianist Zephyr has vowed to himself after escaping Sigma, the sprawling criminal organisation that once held him--and still holds his friends--captive in California's mega-city capital, Maria. After being forced to entertain Sigma's clients with more intimate services than just music, Zephyr is determined to use his knowledge of the labyrinthine plots and power-struggles between Sigma's gang members to save his trapped friends and find his family, who are mysteriously untraceable by South Korean authorities. But Zephyr's vow to abandon piano is tested by his uneasy alliance with Will, the timid stranger who whisked Zephyr out of Sigma's clutches under cover of a mysterious fire. Will's secretive nature can't hide tantalising hints of his deep connection to music, nor can Will hide the tangled web of his dark past. In a race against time to prevent his family and friends from becoming Sigma's latest targets, Zephyr must discover if Will's true goal is to help him, or to lure him deeper into peril, as they spiral inexorably together. 🥇Winner, Wattpad Amby Awards 2022, New Adult category 🥇Grand Winner, Wattpad Pride 2022 🥇Winner, Wattpad Pride 2022, New Adult category
