Some bonds are chosen. Others are carved into your soul. Vivienne Minthe thought escaping Manna City meant reclaiming the quiet life she once knew but fate isn't done with her yet. After rescuing Blake Thorne, the dangerously alluring vampire she once knew as a boy, Vivienne is thrust back into a world of oaths, ancient powers, and enemies lurking in every shadow. Their bond is mysterious, forbidden, and stronger than she understands-pulls her closer to Blake even as her heart urges her to run. Home is no refuge. Her family abandons her, demons stalk the city, and Vivienne's childhood fears begin to awaken in terrifying, uncontrollable ways. As she struggles to uncover the truth behind her past, Vivienne must confront a rising darkness-and the seductive, unpredictable vampire tied to her by destiny. When an old female friend, Allison Devon, returns carrying secrets and scars, Vivienne becomes trapped between loyalty, love, and survival. The monsters of Manna City were only the beginning... and the new horrors stalking her want more than her blood-they want her soul.

"Water pooled around my feet, rising at an alarming rate. I stared - panicked - at the palms of my hands, willing the water gushing out of them to stop as miraculously as it had begun. I only sneezed!" Jasmine is struggling to control her new powers, causing floods and fires with an accidental flick of her wrist. In a desperate attempt to master at least one aspect of them, she travels to the Brizan Realm, where she comes closer to discovering the truth about her parents than ever before. But not everyone wants their secrets revealed. Alone, powerless and, for the first time in her life, afraid, Roxy has only one thought occupying her mind: escaping Cinaer's clutches before it's too late. Her flight will take her across the ocean, but not in the direction she is expecting. Before she can try and get back to Brae, she needs to rescue herself. Despite being on opposite sides of the world, the girls soon find themselves closer than ever. --- Water is updated on a weekly basis, every Friday (usually first thing in the morning). If you don't want to wait, you can buy the complete book from Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Nobel or Smashwords. Air - the final novel in the series - is also available from these sellers.

Air. I needed air. I was gasping, but my lungs refused to take any in. Jasmine's world is crumbling around her. Still reeling from the discovery of her parents' identities, she is forced to face the repercussions of her actions in the Helian Realm, while her beloved home is besieged by Helian attackers. And she still can't control her powers. Roxy is confronted by the realisation that she has travelled across the Realms for a boy who thinks she betrayed him. A boy dating the girl who sold her out. And even while freezing in the Arcan Realm it seems she can't escape Cinaer's grasp. Time is running out for the girls to save the world - and the boy - they love. But to have any chance of defeating Cinaer, they are going to have to work together. Cinaer is on a warpath and he's not giving up until he has secured the Helian throne - even if he has to reduce the Arcan Realm to dust in the process. Air is the third novel in the Elements of Power trilogy. Please check out Fire and Water first, otherwise it might not make much sense!

Two girls, two secrets, and a boy who will make them question everything they've ever believed. *** Roxy thinks that she is in control of everything: with flames flaring at her fingertips and an equally fiery attitude, what more could she need? But when Brae arrives in the Helian Realm and sets off a whirlwind of emotions, she starts to question if her life is really as perfect as she'd always believed - and if she can play her part in a plan that will send Brae back to the Arcan Realm as a pile of ash. Alone in the Arcan Realm, Jasmine has none of Roxy's confidence or intensity. But she does have a secret - and Brae - and she's not going to give either up willingly. {Fire, Water and Air are also available as ebooks from all online retailers}

Every culture has its own version of Cinderella, whether it features glass slippers and fairy godmothers, or enchanted trees and magic fish, the love story endures and goodness is always rewarded. But in this story, Ella has been replaced by Elliot and her beloved prince is a princess severely lacking in charm. Elliot's step-father expects him to work from dawn until dusk, leaving him no time to miss the life of happiness and comfort he once knew. When the rest of his family are invited to a series of balls, held in honour of the Princess Charmaine's return from school, Elliot longs for a night off and the opportunity to reconnect with his childhood friend. But his step-father is busy plotting how his own son can win Charmaine's heart and doesn't want Elliot getting in the way. They will soon discover that Charmaine won't be easily charmed. She doesn't need a husband to rule by her side and she's going to use these balls to prove it. That is, until a friend from her past reappears and she discovers that falling in love doesn't have to mean losing control. Princess Charming is a gender-reversal retelling of Cinderella and a companion story to Mirrored Snow.
