In a lakeside town where shapeshifters roam the shadows, Mara Philips, a rogue detective, must find a missing girl. But when clues lead her down a path of deadly desire and deception, she's forced to face her own demons in a race against the Bloodmoon. ***** Waking up naked on the beach isn't too off-brand for Mara Philips, considering the opened bottle of whiskey not far away. Recently forced to surrender her detective badge, she's been having a rough couple weeks. But blacking out the same night the neighbor's dog dies? A little sus. Something's amiss along the lakeshore and Mara discovers the dog might not be the only victim. Fliers for missing teenage girls are posted all over town and a mother desperate for answers begs the rogue detective to take her case. With the help of a new flame, Mara investigates the shadows of her rural town where shapeshifters roam and a government agency hunts them down. But when clues lead her on a path of deadly desire and deception, she'll be forced to face her own demons before they consume her in a race against the looming Bloodmoon.

Life had made Lilah Taylor a pessimist. Orphaned, homeless, and hangry, Lilah did not have the patience to be around other people. Especially not a gorgeous guy who claimed that she's his wife. Yeah, right. He sounded like a cliche. Except in Lilah's world, he was probably going to turn out to be one of those weird, wealthy men who wanted to do weird things to a poor, innocent (albeit cranky) girl. It would be better if she just avoided him. Except, Lilah decided to kidnap him. Which led to the thing with the satanic cults. **Wife of My Soul updates every Thursday** **1st Place Acheron Awards Humor/Chicklit**

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die. [H.P. Lovecraft] - Accepted in the Urban Reading List @WattpadUrban - Accepted in the Magic Reading List @magic - [5th Place [81/100 pts.] in the Ruby Awards [@The_ruby-awards] Paranormal/Horror Section - Winner of the Wattpad Nobel Awards - Supernatural Section [91/100] A trigger happy Irish ex-soldier who's not afraid to put her tactical mind, her cooking abilities and her utter ignorance of the Magic world on the field. A Mexican Palo Mayombe priest who'd very much prefer to live a quiet life between his magical studies and his parish. A Russian engineer who has lost most of his memories and would just like to spend his days in his cellar, where nobody knows what happens. A bureaucrat at heart, forced to he the Enforcer, and thus the tactical chief - or as he likes to define himself: glorified babysitter - of the aforementioned three subjects. A powerful Order of Mages, working behind the scenes of the world... in the most bureaucratic and organized way. What happens when a simple mission, who would lift the Coven of the Pollos Rojos de la Revolucion at least up the rank where they'd have the right to a home with, at least, one room each and two bathrooms, goes south in a totally unpredictable way? Follow the adventures of Banshee, Chico, Vopros, and Garaham, as in Strange Aeons, unnamed supernatural forces, and very named ones, find themselves at the beginning of a plan eons in the making, that will change everything. Especially the lives of the three minimum-wage mages. ********************************************************************************************
