Fate's Return (Twisted Fate, Book 2)
Alyssa has forgotten her brush with Death, but David's words have stayed with her: prepare. For what? She doesn't know. For a year, she's trained and become an almost undefeated boxer, putting all of her grief for the boy she loved and lost into being the best fighter. She's fast, strong, fearless. Now strange things have started happening, and she thinks she's losing her mind. How is she supposed to fight against what she can't see?

Gifted in ways she doesn't understand, she's thrust into a triangle of devotion and danger-an angelic protector who refuses to leave her alone, a boy whose hands have held hers through the nights, and a darkness that wants only to make her surrender. In a race that runs as fast as her fists, Alyssa must choose who to trust and how much of herself to give-because the only way to stop a thing that feeds on light may be to become what it fears most.

The Forest Keeper
Kaylie "Kea" Alton's life turned upside down when she found fairies in the forest behind her father's house. At the tender age of seven, she was given the task to take care of the forest and the magical creatures therein - to become the Keeper of Albinan. Things went well for twelve years. As soon as the thirteenth year came around, things started getting interesting. With the appearance of a new creature from the lake, Kea and the rest of the creatures are wary. Something is happening, and when the creature starts talking gibberish about Atlantis and demonic inhabitation, she is forced to take him seriously. What she doesn't understand is why this creature of the lake is helping her and what he has to gain from it. And what is going to happen as a result of this new threat. ** A/N: If I were to give this book a rating, it would be a moderate PG-13. It is pretty violent (I mean, obviously, the demon wants to kill everything, so...), and there are instances of mild language and non-graphic "encounters," as it were. So consider yourself warned. ;) Thanks for reading!Complete

Death is Looming
"I beg you to listen" Murmuring softly as I froze in his touch. Exhaling slowly. Doing my best not run out of his hold. "What are you saying?"
