Everly "Eve" Dawn has been a part of the supernatural world for twenty years now and is ready to live up to the family name of hunting other supernaturals. But Everly's world flips when she goes on her first hunt, finding that the enemy isn't at all what she expected. She wasn't supposed to fall for the enemy, she was supposed to make the enemy fall. Vampires and Hunters aren't supposed to love one another, especially since the prophesy a witch put forth years ago stating that two supernaturals from opposite species would fall in love and be the reason why a war between all supernatural species would start. With the world going dark and an evil witch rising once again, Everly finds that she's tied into it much more than she would have liked. She starts running from herself and her safety to something dangerous. Something beautiful and smirking at her in a deadly way. THE BEAUTIFUL COVER IS BY @Abyss-of-crazy (Celin graphics)

You've never, ever read a book like this. When a sexually-transmitted plague breaks out in Ashley Young's small town, leaving its victims with a bizarrely amplified libido, everything about her life changes. DEAD IN BED is partly a suspense thriller with a strikingly unique story, partly a page-turning mystery about a disease that makes people hopelessly crave sexual contact, and partly a neo-western adventure in the American heartland. For readers who can handle a smart, controversial female protagonist who's willing to do anything -- no matter how difficult or morally questionable -- in order to survive, the series pulls them in like an unshakeable addiction. . . . Bailey Simms, teen author of DEAD IN BED, is stuck at home with a rare medical condition. Writing is her only escape, so she's determined to keep her salacious series hidden from her strict father. Soon an older boy starts to secretly help her, and Bailey finds new opportunities for freedom she's never had. But as DEAD IN BED grows in popularity, and Bailey's fans start to clamor for the sequel, she learns that being a successful Wattpad author may come with a terrifyingly dangerous price.
