Okay, so being a detective's assistant isn't as glamorous as it sounds. There's a lot of running, dodging, almost getting cursed, and Liam giving me his signature disappointed dad stare every time I "accidentally" provoke a ghost. (In my defense, it was already mad). But hey, it's not all bad! We solve some pretty bizarre cases-supernatural hauntings, creepy murders, missing persons, and the occasional "Is this artifact going to kill me? " situation. And lucky for us (mostly me), I have light magic! Super handy for, you know, not dying. Liam? Oh, he's the classic detective type-cool, sharp, and completely unimpressed by my creative problem-solving skills (which may or may not include bribing spirits with snacks). But deep down, I think he appreciates my help. Probably. Hopefully? Anyway, lately, things have been getting extra weird, even by our standards. Something big is happening in the city, and I have a bad feeling we're about to end up knee-deep in trouble. Again. But hey, what's a little danger when you've got an overworked detective, questionable decision-making skills, and a bit of magic on your side? Sincerely, Penelope Harper Start: 03/01/2023 End:-

Kathryn Elyse didn't believe in fairy tales. Nor did she believe in love at first sight. But, when a stranger makes her go weak at her knees with just a look, her world is turned upside down. A whole new world she didn't know about- vampires, werewolves, ghillies and fey- she is caught in dangerous times. Things she longed for comes back to her, but it's not as it was before. Being a regular human in the land of magic isn't an easy task, especially when a new threat has risen and they are all in constant danger. Someone is killing the seven sons of the dead King and trying to sway the world with their power. Battling to stay alive and not get lost, Kathryn must fight- for the magical world and for love, while holding tight to the promise to return to one another. Will they find their way back to each other, or will their love and the Underdwellers fall victim to its next king?

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

In Daytona's shadowy underworld, high school outcasts Damon Derron and Zane Cuwait, born into families of occult origin, form The Circle-a gang that they teach to wield demonaltry; the dark art of summoning demons to seize power. Bound by ancient rites and forbidden pacts, their thirst for influence drives them into a perilous web of danger and deceit. The demons they summon offer incredible power, but it comes at a horrific price, slowly eroding their moral compasses and binding them tighter to dark forces. Their quest for dominance sets The Circle on a collision course with rival gangs vying for control of Daytona's criminal underbelly. The Revsnakes, led by the formidable and enigmatic Rocky Vega, emerge as fierce adversaries. With sinister secrets of their own, the Revsnakes threaten to unravel The Circle's carefully laid plans. Caught in the crossfire is Skyla Vauxdale, Damon's ethereal ex-girlfriend. Skyla struggles with her identity, torn between her lingering love for Damon and her ties to a secretive society with its own agenda. As she navigates her treacherous path, she must reckon with the secrets of her past and the ever-present danger of her divided loyalties. As supernatural forces close in and the pressure mounts, Daytona teeters on the brink of chaos. Damon's relentless ambition and unyielding drive lead him to take increasingly desperate and dangerous measures. In Crown of Ash, loyalties fracture and alliances shift like sand. Damon, Zane, and Skyla are ensnared in a harrowing tale of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of identity amidst dark magic. Each must confront their inner demons and make sacrifices that will shape their destinies. As old bonds are tested and new enemies arise, they must decide whether to rise from the ashes of their own making or be consumed by the darkness they have unleashed.
