Ri likes a quiet life, without drama, and certainly without all that mate crap that the world seems to revolve around. To her exasperation, it seems to be all anyone cares about, looking for, finding and then claiming their mate. Well, that won't be her. She has a secret. She has managed to suppress her scent, so her mate can never find her. She has other plans and they don't involve having her head and heart messed up by hormones and matehood. Because she knows who her mate is. Damian, warrior and son of the Clan leader. Her friend. And if he ever finds out...

Good and evil need no explanation. Everyone knows what it's like to fear, to hate; everyone knows a drop of kindness or love. The two opposites have existed as long as time itself. Hatred and love; however, one seems to be no more. All that is good has vanished from this world, and it is not to the glee of the dark (as he would have many to believe) as he pines for the missing link that makes him whole. Cecilia does what she can with her life, but knows there's so much out there for her. When she moves to a small new town and her boss suddenly goes missing only for her assistant to declare she was a witch, Cecilia realizes there's so much more to the world and sets out to solve that empty feeling gnawing in her stomach and find her missing boss--only to be caught in a tale as old as time with someone a little more than disagreeable. ~~~~~~~ This is a story about self-acceptance and love, even when times are rough.

Best rankings: #2 fittingin at some time The world is wracked with a "zombie craze", but not one involving shambling corpses who crave questionable gray matter-- but of young escapee demons fleeing from Hell. In 30XX, the world is not in its best condition, but neither is the underworld. Flocks of young, change-hungry demons, in turn, begin to camouflage into the crumbling human society in an attempt to find themselves, flee their fates, change for the better, and some even hoping to fix an Earth and population they have fallen in love with. Though some good and some bad, they all face challenges in the growing opposition and hatred of "zombies" whilst fighting with what they were raised to believe and what they have done in the past. Ever since the young and powerful prince of Hell escaped his father's cruel grasp and his own equally disparaging fate, the zombie youth have risen up in hope. Hope that they could live peacefully with targets on their backs, fearing those they love and one another.
