(COMPLETE - Book 1) In a world ruled by supernatural beings, Rudy's life feels painfully ordinary-boring job, bad dates, and dreams of something more. Two decades after The Great Unraveling, a war that shattered humanity's dominance, werewolves, vampires, and other supernatural factions now control the world, with humans struggling to hold onto scraps of autonomy. Locke, the most powerful werewolf alpha alive, commands not just respect but fear. Known as the king of all packs, he is a force of nature-ruthless in battle, fiercely protective of his own, and burdened by the weight of a crown he never asked for. With striking eyes that reflect both his beast and his humanity, and a presence that can silence a room, Locke is as magnetic as he is dangerous. When their worlds collide, Rudy and Locke will discover how love, power, and survival are interwoven in a reality shaped by the supernatural. But can a human like Rudy ever truly understand the price of peace in a world where the lines between predator and prey are so easily blurred?

Eighteen-year-old Isolde has never known safety. Orphaned, broke, and trapped under her aunt's care, she spends her days serving lattes at a posh café-until a mysterious perfume arrives at her doorstep. Its sender? Unknown to her but let me tell you it's Dante Valencourt, a billionaire with mafia ties, a serpent's charm, and a sadistic obsession with owning what he desires. When Dante's "gifts" turn sinister-surveillance, threats, and a trail of bodies Isolde flees. But running from a man who controls cities is a death wish. Dante drags her into his glittering underworld, where pain and pleasure blur, and obsession wears the mask of love. Will Isolde survive his twisted devotion... or surrender to the darkness he promises? 🔥 For fans of Pepper Winters and J.T. Geissinger may love this and it's dark romance at its most addictive. No princes here... just a villain who'll ruin you. This anti-hero is very sadistic, possessive, obsessive and controlling freak....so please don't expect anything vanilla and lovey lovey content here. Tropes: ✔️ Morally Black Mafia Antihero ✔️ Kidnapped/Forced Proximity ✔️ "Touch Her and Die" Vibes ✔️ Twisted Possession vs. Fragile Innocence ✔️ All the dark, spicy, morally black tension Warning: This book is not a fairytale. Proceed if you dare. This book contains abusive content very dark and gore, and I don't support them.

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin

Two superior races rule the land of Tellus: Helios, the children of the sun. Born with the blood of gold. Distinct for wearing their vibrant white long-sleeved garments as they meticulously walk in groups under the broad daylight. Governed with religious beliefs, they find nobility in group decorum. Lunox, the children of the moon. Born with the blood of silver. Unnoticeable for their dark fitted attires as they roam the dark corners of the city in the solitude of the night. Dominated by their own personal beliefs, they show outstanding physical aptitudes that surpass any other race only when necessary. And of course, the inferior race, humans. Born with red blood flowing under their skins. "There must only be one clan feared by all. And that will be us." Then it all started-the cruel purge of the silver bloods. Pools of silver liquid flooded the streets of Tellus under the extreme sunlight. And only those of the five infants were saved-one baby girl so-hidden by a Helios couple and raised as one of their own. But fate had better plans for her on the night she turns 18. "Mother," a voice silently whispers through her ears. "My children will call you that as we stain the night with gold."
