Las Vegas - die einzige Stadt, in der Hexen, Vampire und Menschen Seite an Seite leben. Unter der Herrschaft des Clanbosses James Dearing herrscht Ordnung: Jeder ist willkommen, solange er die Gesetze der Vampire befolgt. Doch ein uralter Fluch treibt die Vampire an den Rand des Wahnsinns - und zwingt sie zum Handeln. Für Clare ist Las Vegas mehr als nur die „Stadt der Sünden" - es ist die Chance auf eine glänzende Zukunft an einer der besten Universitäten. Doch der Traum vom Studium ist teuer, und schon bald reicht ihr Job als Bedienung im Club nicht mehr aus. Der schnelle Verdienst lockt, und Clare wagt den Schritt auf die Bühne. Unter dem Namen Blue Diamond erobert sie das Publikum - und zieht damit auch die Aufmerksamkeit in den Schatten lauernder Mächte auf sich. Zwischen Blutdurst und Begehren, Macht und Abhängigkeit, muss Clare entscheiden, wie viel Nähe sie einem Mann zulassen kann, der ihr größter Beschützer - und ihre größte Bedrohung zugleich ist. Eine düstere Lovestory voller Leidenschaft, Gefahr und der Frage, wie viel man bereit ist zu opfern, wenn Liebe stärker wird als Angst.

What if you discovered a world like no other, but knew no way back? And yet, the only way to stay- and survive- was by leaving your past self behind, body and mind? From a small town on the panhandle of Florida, Kylie and Celeste are two fraternal twins tired of being bullied; Beatrice is an embittered fourteen-year-old dissatisfied with her home life; and Mina is a young, yet astute girl determined to uncover a family mystery long forgotten... The four girls, whose paths would have never crossed, find themselves in the midst of a mysterious railroad tunnel. With an inkling for adventure, they enter, only to emerge in a world straight out of a fantasy novel, a country called Alysia. It isn't long, however, before they find themselves in the middle of a decades-long Civil War between the forces of Heaven- Arcadia- and Hell- Abaddonia... and realize that going home isn't going to be as simple as they believe. The road home would be more than just a yellow brick road traversed in ruby slippers; in order to survive, they will have to grow up- in more ways than just one. With no other choice, each finds herself wrapped up in the adventure of a lifetime as, together, they fight to stay true to themselves. For Kylie, Celeste, Beatrice, and Mina, it would indeed be a while before they could ever turn back. A/N: Thank you to everyone who checks out my story. I hope that you enjoy following these girls as they go through each of their own journeys. ~Cover design by me~

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK

In their first year at Hogwarts, Lucy Caligo and Ophelia Swan are very different, but fate has some surprises for them. Lucy, with a mysterious and dark surname, has to face what it means to have it. On the other hand, Ophelia, who is a Muggleborn, feels different and faces teasing and bullying for not being like everyone else. She always feels like she doesn't quite fit in the magical world. When they meet on the train to school, something special sparks between them-a friendship that changes everything they knew. Together, they'll learn to deal with expectations, the bad ideas others have, and the problems that come up at Hogwarts. The people and creatures who pass through their lives are among the most magical, and undoubtedly, the relationships awaiting them there.

"I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth" Elwia found herself unable to deny the fact that, since the first day she met Draco Malfoy, there had been something so intriguing about him. Maybe it was his grey eyes and blonde hair- or perhaps his tall figure and cold nature. Draco infuriated her, truly. But not even the hatred they once felt toward one another could conceal the truth- ever since the beginning, Elwia and Draco had been drawn to each other. Despite their different opinions and constant bickering, they craved to be close. It wasn't love, though. Elwia Delacour knew better than to fall in love with Draco Malfoy. When secrets that have been buried for years begin to unravel, chaos is never far behind. Elwia starts to uncover the truth-about her identity, her powers, and the destiny that awaits her. Love is forbidden, reality is cruel, and the future seems set in stone. But Elwia is determined to take control of her life, and maybe, just maybe, change the course of what's to come.

"Останови машину," I commanded. (Stop the car) The driver, whose name I'd forgotten, obeyed. Stepping out, I walked towards the boys, hearing their laughter and insults. I jogged over, drawing my gun from the holster at my waist, and snapped, "Тебя никто не учил манерам?" (Did no one ever teach you any manners?) The color drained from their faces, and they scattered. Approaching the corner where they had been standing, my heart clenched. There, on the cold ground, lay a girl, shivering in nothing but a dirty, torn t-shirt. ♡♡︎♡︎ A small, naive girl with no shelter. A feared mafia boss known as the Angel of Death...What will happen when their paths cross?
