[FULL KELS SERIES] When Ande wakes up on the bottom of the ocean with a fish's tail, she's not sure what she did wrong. Getting sacrificed by her island is a likely bet, but why---and why her---is a mystery. Out of her depth in an unfamiliar world, she soon finds herself wrapped up in the society of the Kels, the people who live under the sea. Desperate to get back to her island, she strikes an agreement with a squid-tailed boy whose sunny smile and knowledge of her language are a welcome assistance at first. Soon, though, she begins to sense that he's hiding something. Things take a turn for the worse when her way home gets complicated by the Kels' wars and several eerie myths about her people that may not be myths at all. The history of the Kels goes back farther than her own culture, and the harder she struggles to get back to land, the more the question arises: Does she belong in the water after all? ❖❖❖ Marked mature for darker themes and scenes, not spicy content.

WARNING: This is for adults only! You'll have to follow me to read some of the chapters! Geneva is a Cupid. Her methods are a little unorthodox, but her success rate has been damn near perfect. That is, until her most recent Client, Lizzy gets into a car accident and comes face to face with Death himself. Now Geneva is fighting for Lizzy's life, bargaining everything she has for just enough time to get her Client to fall in love. Adrian has been a Reaper for centuries. Not once had he ever accidentally touched anyone. That is, until the beauty of a Cupid throws herself in front of her injured companion. For the first time in years, he felt anger and that emotion opened a Pandora's box of feelings he'd worked hard to suppress. The Cupid was trouble, his heart could feel it. KINK: Femdom and all the things it encompasses. Like chastity. I'm serious, folks. If you can't handle subversive ideology, GTFO.

An almost very unlikely pair. • "You don't understand how important she is to me" I clenched my jaw, feeling the urge to throw something. "She's everything to me and I just...I just ruined it!" My voice ripped through my throat as I flung the glass of whiskey at the wall and I watched it shatter while the golden liquid stained the neat white walls. "She's gonna be fine, Theodore" Asher said with a somber and empathetic expression on his face and I scoffed. "Fuck yes, she's gonna be fine! But what about me?" I tilted my head at him and he inhaled. "You'll be fine, Theo." he spoke so softly I wished I was that calm. I wished I could be. "Not without her I'm not" I dropped back in my chair, my hands shaking violently and she wasn't around to help me get through it. PS: Lyrics of a song by Nasty C- Flaws and All.
