Living a life thickly masked in mystery and ruled by what some would say lucky chance, Alex Lythorn has is all. He has great taste in life and connections to have it. He has money, a skill set above and beyond the call of duty, a wife to rival any goddess and power, and more than just the power of being the CEO of a large finance empire. An empire with more than a few skeletons in its closet. Skeletons hunted by Alex. But in the end game result Alex is still the last of his kind. He denies it with a passion and has become the hunter. By doing so he has also betrayed his world. What lies ahead of him is unknown and more shrouded in shadows than the trouble streaked streets of New Orleans which he calls home at the foot of his journey. What will he do when this grim shadow knocks on his doors? Time now for his instinct of fight or flight to be tested. And for him to finish what he started all those many years ago.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks.

Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Unjustly accused of murder, the Demon of Wrath joins forces with the Archangel of Justice to find the true culprit. ____ Sannarah lives from one deadline to the next. As a Wrath Demon, she is obliged to provide a certain number of human souls to the Fallen God every month so she can stay in the Human Realm. If she fails to do so, she'll be sent straight back to Hell. And it's not a nice place, even for demons. One day she follows the shady tip-off and finds herself in the middle of a gruesome crime scene as the main suspect. The lead investigator Melkyal, an Archangel of Justice, gives her a choice: she can help him find an actual perpetrator and get a clean slate, or refuse and spend a few weeks in jail for petty crimes. With looming deadlines, she can't afford to waste time. But teaming up with an angel can't be a good idea. Even though he seems reasonable and focused on finding the truth, he's still a mortal enemy. Sannarah has an opportunity to topple the unjust order plaguing her whole life, but the chances of success are slim, and the consequences of failure are unfathomable. Melkyal must choose between blind obedience to his god and trusting his own judgment. They may have to take a leap of faith to save each other. ____ 🌟Shortlisted for the Wattys 2022🌟 🥇place in the Count Awards in the Paranormal category ____ The beautiful cover made by amazing @Lueur_laVespineConcluida

Shadow Land
Alexander is powerful, deadly, and legendary. But all he wants is to be left alone after the love of his undead-life is killed. Sadly, his plans get ruined by the rest of the world. First is the problem that the most powerful people of this world and the next are determined to make him lead their army no matter what he wants. What they forgot to mention was the fact this army would be against his supposed-to-be-dead ex-girlfriend who now appears to be on the side of the demons. To add to his problems, his best friend DJ is bitten by a Dark Vampire (basically a very evil half-demon with no soul) and Alycia, the girl that just moved in with him, turns out to be a double agent. This is a story of betrayal, loss, a war that can only end in the annihilation of one side.Concluida
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Concluida
