Prey meets predator under a starry night.

Jillian's senior year was supposed to be easy, but when her father's job causes the two of them to uproot their life and move to Byrendale, it doesn't take long to realize that the small town is still mourning a tragedy. Meeting Parker was something she didn't expect. He's an outcast, but more importantly, he's been accused of murdering his sister. The more time the two of them spend together, the closer they grow, and Jillian is able to see what everyone else refuses to - he's innocent.

"There is only one rule: The light is for the living. The dark is for the detested." The world is a different place after the clock's hand strikes eight; the living know it, but they don't have any idea what lurks in the dark. The Holidays have never exactly been a strict family, especially when they're hardly a family at all. The two siblings, rough-around-the-edges Marty, is a security guard at one of Louisania's hottest clubs Pandora's Box, and Jay Holiday, the do-gooder of the duo, are in a thrill of a lifetime after bodies begin to stack up in their late parents' diner- after Curfew. Cadmus Yaegar is exactly what lurks beneath the curtain of night, and he wants Jay Holiday. Join Curfew as the Holidays are forced to learn exactly what they should be afraid of. * Beautiful cover and trailer by @valuables (alias @xchains) (obviously this has bxb undertones, obviously. But, I'm not relying on two characters' needs to get in each other's pants.) *AND DIVERSITY*

"Didn't they teach you not to run from wolves, darlin'?" Before the western werewolf, before fear became a common friend, before humans were scared of the dark- there were the Adlets. Descended from the first shapeshifter, beast and man are conjured into one, hidden deep within the soils of the harsh Alaskan forests. Surviving off of the land and secluding themselves by keeping outsiders away- the Adlets become unhealthily intrigued by the Mavericks, a lonely family of three. After patiently waiting years for Rory and Rowan Maverick, the only son and daughter of a fearless woman named Rowena, to turn eighteen- the twins unknowingly fall prey to every unmated Adlet. Unfortunately, Rory's and Rowan's problems are much more complicated than a pack of wild shifters trying to vie for their affections. It begins much deeper, as deep as the very blood in their bodies.
