It's something that Ada Palomino has always known so well, having grown up in a house of horrors, surrounded by a family plagued by ghosts and demons and things that go bump in the night. But after the sudden and tragic death of her mother two years ago, death has never felt so personal. Or so close. Now eighteen, Ada is trying to move on with her life and the last month of summer holds nothing but sunshine and promises with her first year at a Portland design school just around the bend. That is until her increasingly violent and realistic dreams, dreams of other worlds, of portals and veils where her mother is tortured and souls bleed for mercy, start to blend into reality. Ada has to lean on her older sister, Perry, to try and make sense of it all but even then, she's never felt more alone. Then there's Jay. Tall, handsome and deeply mysterious, Jay would be just another stranger, a familiar face on the bus, if it wasn't for the fact that Ada has met him before. Every night. In every single dream. And the more that Ada is drawn to him in both worlds, the more she's in danger of losing everything. Including her heart. And her very soul. *** Veiled is a paranormal romance/urban fantasy adult spinoff of the Experiment in Terror Series, though it can be read by anyone who hasn't read EIT.

Had enough of the bad boys? How about a gentleman for a change? °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° With their hands clasped together as they danced to the slow tempo of the song, Grace couldn't help but wish the moment could last forever. She wasn't sure why, but she just did. Steve was looking down at her, his greenish eyes never once leaving her face. ❝What is it, Steve?❞ Grace finally questioned. Although she had grown comfortable around him, she often found that stare of his leaving her edgy. ❝I'm just silently admiring you. Can I not?❞ he breathed, the most innocent smile etching itself on his masculine features. One of his hands slowly slid down to the small of her back in an attempt to bring her closer. His eyes soon hovered over her lips and she wondered what it must feel like to have her lips locked with Steve Phelps. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° It was a rainy day in New York and Grace Denning was shivering in the cold with her practically useless umbrella.

And to think it all began on a rainy day... Cover by @Fallen_God15, check out her covers!

When fifteen year old Drake was born, they called him boneless. Destined to die for what his clan called an abnormality, the love of his mother saved him. But growing up with a weak bone disease meant he cannot fight, hunt, joust, or draw a blood-sigil that has become a custom for every kid. Considered a weakling by many including his family, Drake knows his only chance to succeed is to learn faster and work twice harder than the other boys, but he lacks the very thing that defines greatness amongst his clan; the ability to wield a blood bonded magic. When a failed assassination attempt leaves him lost in the woods, a chance encounter sets him upon a strange creature with secrets that could change his life or destroy him. In the prominent cities of the Nine Worlds, an assassin strikes fear in the hearts of Kings. People whisper of the Black Fury, a goddess of vengeance, but Zelos Shadowstealer is just a girl burdened by a great power, whose identity, happiness, and future have been enslaved to serve the greed of her masters. Kingdoms have fallen, wars ignited, and great names extinguished at the edge of her blade, but when she is set upon a young prince doomed to die by her hand, she begins to entertain questions that leaves her with two choices- smother the affection that had sprouted in her cold heart or be hunted by the murderers she had once served. In a world where a strong arm and a cold heart rules, the two begin to realize that the line between withering and surviving is truly thin.
