Book One of the Listening Flame Series In a village that fears her very existence, sixteen-year-old Shalkira-a quiet girl born part-cat, part-magic-lives hidden away with seven siblings in a cottage whispered to be cursed. But when a stranger knocks at their door with promises of a magical school and truths untold, Shalkira's fragile world begins to unravel. As secrets stir in the walls and ancient forces awaken, Shalkira finds herself trapped in a place where illusions bend reality-and where her very identity may be the key to everything. Guided by a watchful fox spirit and haunted by the voice of a house that listens, she must confront buried memories, unravel layers of deception, and choose who she wants to become. But something is hunting her from the shadows-something that remembers her better than she remembers herself. And some flames... are not so easily extinguished.

But safe... until a mysterious stranger knocks on their door with promises of magic and danger. Now, whispers from the walls, a school that might not even exist, and a fox spirit watching her dreams drag Shalkira into a world where illusion and memory blur.

Aurora is forest nymph who lives in the lost city of Arden, a lost civilization of faerie folk who live among the trees.

Samantha is having the worst day ever. She failed the job interview. She face-planted into the hard chest of Mr. Tall, Dark and Grumpy on her way out. Then she ended up in the middle of a robbery with shifters involved. And now she finds herself alone with three of them, all claiming that she belongs with them. That she is their fated mate. Like hell. No matter how hot and charming they are. No matter how persistently they woo her. No matter how good they are at getting her panties wet... This lone tigress is not settling down with one shifter, let alone three. Nope. Definitely not.

If Greek gods became a twenty-first-century biker gang, they might look like the guys Lauren met in the woods. They used to be called Casper, Grēgorios, and Alexander, or something like that, but nowadays they're called Jasper, Greg, and Zander. These names are more modern. The immortal Spartan warriors try to keep with the times. These days we'd call them pansexual and polyamorous, but the guys just love the people they love without overthinking these things. They are exclusive and extremely loyal, and that is what matters. They are also extremely gorgeous. Jasper has honey-blond hair, and the word 'sacrifice' tattooed across his chest, and more ink lower down. Greg is the one with the pierced nipples, and Zander has his metal jewelry lower down. If Lauren decides to live with them, she'll train in essential Spartan skills otherwise known as the three Fs. At least, that's what she calls them: fighting, farming, and f******. Defenders is a sizzling Reverse Harem fantasy romance. #reverseharem

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)

Penelope Blake is a classically trained guitarist with a spotless resume and zero interest in becoming a rockstar.

Ashes After Midnight: global legends, inked disasters, and every alt girl's dirtiest dream. They didn't want a new bandmate.

He touches her like she's the only song he still believes in. But this isn't just music. This band made a deal with something dark-something that's coming back to collect. And Penelope might be the only thing standing between them and damnation. Enemies. Lovers. Monsters. Dark Romance. Welcome to the tour from hell.
