[2014 WATTY AWARDS WINNER]
[FEATURED WATTPAD NOVEL!]
[EXCERPT ONLY]

Small towns talk, especially when a long-time resident dies mysteriously on the mountain bordering the sleepy village of Bon Resi. Sybil Deerborn, like any curious person, wants to know why a quiet older man who used to be a thriving member of the community was targeted. What makes it more troublesome is the carefully, yet disturbingly planned out threats against her life when she begins to investigate.

With the appearance of an old acquaintance right around the time of the murder, who only seems to stir up trouble with every breath he takes, Sybil begins to wonder if maybe the murders are much closer to home than she anticipated. All of her evidence thus far points to one person, but no matter how close she gets to the truth, something leads her to believe there's more to this than what meets the eye.

Throwing herself into the midst of a murder investigation maybe wasn't the best idea, but what does Sybil have to lose? One event after another, digging up secrets that were nothing but hearsay, Sybil realizes that perhaps she unearthed a secret far too dangerous for even her liking.

But Sybil Deerborn is determined, and as some would say very stubborn. She won't stop until everything comes to light, even if it means risking her life to do so.

The Venantium Auallonia Trilogy: Midsummer Sky by prettyoddGal

This is the continuation from Summer Tide. As always, commentary and rating of the story is welcome. This story is dedicated to... To Kassie for being a patient editor, drilling in organization skills into my head since high school and just being an awesome friend. Matt for being the greatest love, encouraging me to keep writing no matter what anyone said, willing to listen to my insane ideas no matter how late it was at night, and being my muse. My family who supported my creativity and been my greatest fans throughout all of it. Jeff, my brother, for providing me with unique depth for this story. And last, but not least; the best band and greatest musical inspiration: Fall Out Boy, whose songs I could never live without nor write without. Here is the description: After five years of loneliness, Dawn has just about given up again. No word from Emery Winchester, the only man/ vampire who ever expressed a love for her, a simpleton job of taking peoples portraits at a local photography studio, and a crammed apartment with her ADHD best friend, Patrick. Yeah, she doesn't have much to live for. Until the letter and invitation that is. One to a grand masquerade ball, giving her an opportunity to search for absent Emery behind masks and Victorian gowns, and a letter of importance to the truth of her heritage. Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the loose and targeting Dawn specifically. Does she have something to live for now? To escape and outwit Legion, the cult that fawns over of the killer, she must go to England where a journey of the mind & soul is waiting and a search of her curiously unknown family. Only to discover the identity of her stalker and world far more complicated than she could have ever imagined...

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎ by SammyE9

[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir) by AmouraLucinda

*Complete but still subject to edits* Ben Cougar and Eileen Grau have been best friends since they were kids. For the young cougar-shifter, it was love at first sight. For the ostracized Vampire girl, it was good to have a friend--even if he was six years younger. Time changes all things, however, and when Eileen comes home from college Ben is no longer "little" in any sense of the word. He has a young man's body, a young man's desires, and he's done letting other men break his woman's heart. Ignorant people might call her a cougar, but if Ben has his way, soon everybody will be calling her Mrs. Cougar. Shapeshifter x vampire Older woman x younger man *** A few notes: This story takes place in the late '90s/early 2000s. This is a prequel, and while it does lead into the next story it can be read as a HEA standalone. This is an instant-love, slow-burn story that will include dirty talk and some some tamer aspects of kink-play as the characters' relationship progresses. Also, because I want everybody to have a happily ever after, this story will occasionally take detours into the minds and relationships of the side characters. I hope you enjoy! ***** #1 in cougar 8/2/21 #1 in olderwoman 12/8/21 #1 in youngerman 11/20/21 #1 in fatedlovers 8/2/21 #1 in bloodmates 12/27/22 #5 in loveconquersall 11/5/23 #9 in energy 12/8/21 #12 in empathy 12/8/21 #12 in nineties 11/5/23
