New Orleans, Louisiana. October 2005. The Jetson Youth Correctional Center has a massive overcrowding problem - or rather, it had one, before Hurricane Katrina tore across the coast. In the aftermath, the state quietly initiated the Arcane Delinquent Rehabilitation Initiative (ADRI), a high-stakes, off-the-books juvenile program where delinquents could earn their freedom through the brutal slaughter of supernatural threats. For every monster neutralized across the sweltering Louisiana bayou, the state chipped away at the kids' sentences. Take these three teenage convicts, for example: Thea Korshidi, a seventeen-year-old part-time demon slayer desperate to leave her suffocating home life. Remy Salazar, an eighteen-year-old half-demon hybrid who finds human bureaucracy more exhausting than the dead. Prue Beaumont, a kind seventeen-year-old witch whose quiet demeanor masks a dangerous, past. Under the strict supervision of ADRI, they attempt to navigate a lawless, flooded world. But after a routine assignment in the higher ground goes spectacularly wrong, their handler dumps the trio at Hemlock Ridge - a fancy, isolated campsite deep in the Basin. Their mandatory assignment? Turn a pack of foul-mouthed preteen delinquents into ruthless killers. What should be a straightforward way to keep a low profile quickly spirals into a gothic nightmare. The camp manager is a total asshole, the cabins reek of old mold, and the campers are unpredictable to the point of exhaustion. But when the trio stumbles across a shallow graveyard hidden deep in the woods, they are forced to navigate a labyrinth of rusted cabins and half-whispered threats to unearth the truth. Make no mistake - they aren't looking to play heroes or clean up messes. But if exposing Hemlock Ridge's dark secrets is the only way to earn a clean slate, then so be it.

He was her rival. Her favorite argument. Her biggest headache. And somehow, the person she started loving the most. But after a mysterious school trip changes everything, Millie and Loius find themselves trapped inside a mysterious mansion, completely isolated from the outside world .no phones, no escape. and a world that slowly stops making sense. Why do certain moments feel repeated? Why do dreams feel more real than reality itself? And what exactly happened after they disappeared? What started as an enemies-to-lovers story soon turned into something far darker. Because some love stories are unforgettable. And some... were never supposed to exist at all. LOVE IN LUCID by Velora "Some love stories only exist in lucid dreams."

They say soulmates are bound together by a red string, isn't it? How lovely does that sound... a perfect tie that could bind together two souls forever. Though, how far would someone act in the name of love, when the only tie that binds them... requires a knot that can never be undone?

"Did you seriously just put a fúcking collar on me?" Avi blinked in disbelief, his hand flying to the spot in question. The vampire king shrugged, entirely unimpressed.

From now on, you're my bítch, Aviel." ••• Where the life of Avi changes abruptly after following a mysterious cat down an alleyway only to find himself in a bizarre world filled with vampires, ghosts, shifters and sirens. He's suddenly told that the fate of this new world called Stellaría depends on him and as the so-called Vanitas, it is now his duty to forge peace between the four kingdoms. But things start to get complicated when Avi caught the attention of the vampire king himself.

(New chapters will recommence soon. I'm taking a short break from Wattpad while I deal with some personal issues) Content Warning (18+): This book contains explicit, graphic sexual content, as well as graphic violence and gore. Intended for readers aged 18 and over. Please read at your own discretion. Rooke has spent years making sure no one can claim her. Not her past, not her name, and certainly not the life she built among the Saltcrows, an infamous mercenary crew of thieves, killers, and ex-pirates who take the kind of jobs no one else is reckless enough to touch. When a contract drags them into the Ascendant's great city, what should have been just another dangerous job quickly turns into something far deadlier. Suddenly, the Saltcrows are running for their lives, hunted across the continent by one of the most feared men in the Ascendant's service. As the chase tightens, secrets begin to surface, loyalties are tested, and Rooke is forced to confront a past she thought she buried long ago. Because in a world where power controls the gates and freedom is bought in blood, survival has always come at a cost. And this time, it might cost everything. © 2026 Maggie Barker.
