After the war, London is in chaos. Packs are battling it out for dominance in the streets, lycans are killing each other in illegal fight dens. The Royals are being murdered. All Juliet wants to do is forget - forget Sebastien, forget the war, forget everything she's learned about her parentage - but fate has other plans. At 21, she's the sole guardian of her royal, half-brother Theo: a boy she almost killed but is now sworn to protect at all costs. But Theo's blood has painted a shiny target on his back and Juliet knows it'll take a miracle to keep him safe, which means dragging herself back to the old motley crew, once led by Sebastien, for help. But the war has changed a lot more than pack territories in London and protecting Theo might come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay... Like her life.

Alyxis Dasher had it all. Great friends, perfect grades, and an almost unparalleled talent for dance. A strategic planner, her future is set: graduate top of her class from the Hilliard Ballet Academy, and join a prestigious ballet company that tours the world and would ultimately gain her international stardom. But when the unthinkable happens, destroying Alysix's innocence, self esteem, and trust in everything around her, things change. Her whole world caves, leaving her bitter and broken. Unable to move past it, Alyxis ends up on a downwards spiral and her dreams become simply that: useless dreams. Worried about her wellbeing, her parents send her to live with her Aunt Sadie, hoping the change from her hectic city life will do her good. But will a new scenery and break from constant high expectations be enough to bring back the old Alyxis? Or will the weight of what she has suffered prove too much and swallow the last fractured pieces of her soul, leaving nothing but emptiness and resentment behind? Axl Swanson is as cynical as they come thanks to years of disappointment from a consistently absent father and countless betrayals by a selfish mother. End result: a mental armour so thick he considers himself immune to people's empty promises, lies, and deceitful behaviour. Such a blatantly flippant attitude ensures that he has no real friends, something that Suits Axl just fine as it means nobody can get close enough to hurt him. Determined to remain untouchable, he does his best to ignore the New York transfer student Alyxis Dasher whose haunted eyes and skittish tendencies pique his curiosity. But when a unexpected encounter with Alyxis in the school gym leads Axl to believe she is facing some pretty big demons of her own, things change. He has a decision to make. Will he break his well honed anti social habits to get closer to the one person who could potentially end up hurting him the most? Or will seventeen years of injustices and the fear they've i

Everything happens for a reason. It’s what Ioney Mercer tells herself whenever she pauses to think about the circumstances of her life. Why did her older brother die? Why did her mother leave her with five brothers and sisters to raise? Why did the only person she’d ever fallen in love with have to go? Because everything happens for a reason. Saying it was one thing. Believing it was another. And recently, the mantra had started sounding more like an annoying show tune that could easily be tuned out rather than the unfailing piece of truth she needed it to be. But then, one silly little saying could only get you so far when your life was on the line yet again. More importantly, it meant absolutely nothing when your family was being targeted as well. Things are starting to shake up in Chicago. Callahan Cordero has been released from prison. His first order of business: Revenge on the person responsible for putting him there. With nowhere to run or hide, Ioney has no choice but to engage the enemy head on. The only question left to ask is whether she will stand alone, or if help will come from the most unlikely of places.

“This time tomorrow, we’ll have finally arrived at our destination,” I said dryly. “This time tomorrow, certain people will appreciate that patience is a virtue,” Odynn retorted. “This time tomorrow, someone will realise neither patience nor virtue are part of my vocabulary.” “This time tomorrow it will occur to you that patience is never found in women; I was just wishful thinking.” I scoffed. “This time tomorrow you’ll be regretting your sexist comment.” His grin was cocky, his comeback on the tip of his tongue before I’d even finished speaking. “This time tomorrow I’ll charm you out of your vengeful mood.” I was grinning in turn. “This time tomorrow you’ll discover there’s one woman you can’t talk your way around; beware my bitch slap, it stings.” “This time tomorrow… shit!” Odynn breathed, and laughed at his own defeat. “Okay, okay, you win.” This Time Tomorrow follows best friends Alex Parker and Odynn Palladino through their final year of high school.

We observed each other silently for a few seconds. He opened his mouth to speak but abruptly shut it a few moments later when nothing came out. We resumed our staring match. This time it looked like he had something concrete, something solid to say. He opened his mouth and the first words out were, “I’m sorry, Verity.” Not what I was expecting. Not at all. There was something I was missing here but first there was something urgent I needed answering. “Who’s Verity?” With a renegade memory and hands in chains, Verity’s day just keeps on getting better. When she finds out the identity of her captor and his potentially deadly plans for her, things take a downhill turn.

Pursued by her father and the order she was once part of, she struggles to find a place where she can be herself and more importantly, safe. And she finds it in the middle of a town filled with supernaturals.
