She just wanted a more interesting life. That's it. For her, the daily routine was simple: wake up, school, study, sleep, repeat. Her life was absolutely plain to her, and she prayed for anyone out there to change it. But she should have more careful about what she wished for. Because all of a sudden the quiet girl that no one notices starts to... change. Her hatred for everyone increases to the point where it's all she feels, her emotions start to wash away, her body becomes more powerful, and she starts getting more dangerous. That was her new beginning. She's turned into a monster with no memory of who her human form was. And she's not just any monster. She turns into Hell's personal assassin, a hunger for souls and a thirst for blood. But this is what she wanted, isn't it? She asked for anyone out there to change her life, and make it more interesting. And Satan decided to help her out with her request. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 7: Horror #77 June 9: Horror #69 June 13: Horror #49 June 15: Horror #47 July 3: Horror #26 July 24: Horror #14 Aug. 4: Horror #11 Aug. 17: Horror #9 Sept. 9: Horror #5 Sept. 20: Horror #3 *WARNING* if you don't like swearing or graphic scenes, please read at your own risk. *WARNING* if you don't like reading sexual content, please don't read or read at your own risk. *WARNING* sarcasm and sick humor will be in it.

You've never, ever read a book like this. When a sexually-transmitted plague breaks out in Ashley Young's small town, leaving its victims with a bizarrely amplified libido, everything about her life changes. DEAD IN BED is partly a suspense thriller with a strikingly unique story, partly a page-turning mystery about a disease that makes people hopelessly crave sexual contact, and partly a neo-western adventure in the American heartland. For readers who can handle a smart, controversial female protagonist who's willing to do anything -- no matter how difficult or morally questionable -- in order to survive, the series pulls them in like an unshakeable addiction. . . . Bailey Simms, teen author of DEAD IN BED, is stuck at home with a rare medical condition. Writing is her only escape, so she's determined to keep her salacious series hidden from her strict father. Soon an older boy starts to secretly help her, and Bailey finds new opportunities for freedom she's never had. But as DEAD IN BED grows in popularity, and Bailey's fans start to clamor for the sequel, she learns that being a successful Wattpad author may come with a terrifyingly dangerous price.

Rock Band Fights Evil is a fast-paced and fun series that follows the adventures of a ragged bar band of cursed musicians who are fighting to get leverage against the powers of Hell. Jim, the lead singer, is Satan’s own son, who bears a grudge against the First Prince of Hell since his lover lost an infernal wager and found herself one of the damned. Eddie, the guitarist, sold his soul at the crossroads for the gift of becoming the greatest rock and roll musician ever, but he forgot to specify an instrument—thus he got stuck with the tambourine. Adrian is a keyboard player as well as a sorcerer, gifted with immense power and cursed with a terrible narcolepsy that knocks him out when the stress gets too high. Twitch on the drums is a shapechanging fairy, cast out of the Mirror Queendom for a prank that went wonderfully right and offended the honor of one of Hell’s dignitaries. And Mike, bass player and former gangbanger, carries the ghost of his own dead brother around with him as a curse he just can’t shake.
