When nineteen-year-old Vanessa Hunter falls to her death, she realizes her life as she knows it, is over. But when Death strikes a bargain with her in exchange for her immortal soul, she takes the ultimate gamble and becomes a Death Angel: gifted with the powers of Death and responsible for finding and harvesting lost souls on earth.

Thrust into this strange new world, Vanessa finds her emotions in turmoil. She still loves Daniel with all her heart, but now finds herself strangely drawn to Death; a being who is at once mysterious, infuriating, and madly attractive. But things are not at all what they seem, and there are many things that Vanessa needs to uncover, unsettling things about her former life, her family's money, and Death, her newfound "savior" who doesn't always seem to be on her side. Can Vanessa tell friend from foe, and solve the riddle of her murder to find out if the man she's loved all along, was truly her lover? Or her greatest enemy? Copyright © 2015 Michael Limjoco

It's 1939, and the world is at the precipice of war. But life for one young man in rural America couldn't be better. Jonathon Blackwell is the eldest son of the most powerful family in town and heir to Blackwell Iron and Mining. Unlike many who struggled to survive the final years of the Great Depression, he has everything he could ever want - except the one thing he desires most. Sheltered by class, privilege, and living inside a locked iron fence meant to protect him, no one could ever imagine anything terrible could happen to him, but dark times are coming. Fate is about to play it's cruel hand, and when it's all over, the world, the country, and young Jonathon will be changed forever. The much anticipated prequel to the 2014 Watty award winning and Wattpad featured story, The Boy in the Woods! This is Jonathon's story, and it just may break your heart... Best Ranking: Historical Fiction #4 Note: Even though this story takes place before events in The Boy in the Woods, it's intended to be read AFTER because it wraps up the last of the mysteries of that story. A gentle warning - many spoilers and much confusion lie ahead if you decide to start with this one. :)

" @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market.

The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it.
