((FULL VERSION AVAILABLE ON KINDLE, 9/9/14!)) Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack's a preacher's handsome son and Jill's a drunkard's daughter... Jill is a melancholy girl, strange to most; cursed to others. Her home is an isolated village where old superstitions are the key to normality. She is shunned by the townspeople because she is different–because she was born with an unusual birthmark. No one will associate with Jill outside her family, and even they treat her as something that ought to be condemned. And then there is Jack. Jack is the blessed sort–the son of Minister Hilton. He accompanies Jill to the well every day to draw water for the sanctuary. They are not friends, yet he is the only one who has ever been kind to her. There is something about Jack that Jill cannot seem to wrap her mind around. He is different from the rest of them but she can’t say how. She tries to keep herself from wondering about him, telling herself that his secrets can’t matter to her. They can never be close. But as time passes and the town grows more hostile toward her, any kind of friend– even an unacknowledged one–could prove valuable.

Nocte Defunctorum...also known as Night of the Dead. One night of every twenty years vampires can come into the human world and take Potential Mates. Audrina Knight has every intention of staying human, and not getting invovled with vampires...unlike her best friend and classmates. She wears a simple mask, invisible to all but herself, and keeps the bullshit away. But just when she thinks she's safe, she is brutally taken from everything she knows and loves and thrust into a world of dark fantasy she could have never imagined. Forced to compete for the love of the vampire prince himself, Nicholai Romano, Audrina must find a way to escape this world before she irreversibly becomes apart of it. But what happens when Audrina actually starts to have feelings for this cruel prince? Enjoy the heavy metal shackled to her wrist and the rough kisses that could literally kill her? Even worse...will she go against Girl Code 101 and compete with her best friend for the love one wants and one detests? Full of twists and turns, Forever Dead is filled with love, hate, murder, sex and everything else in between, if there is anything. But the real question is, do all stories have a happy ending, because in this world, being dead doesn't necessarily mean forever...
