Darkness Watching (Book 1 of the Darkworld series)

Genre: Upper-YA/New Adult urban fantasy

Publisher: Curiosity Quills Press

Eighteen-year-old Ashlyn is one interview away from her future when she first sees the demons. She thinks she's losing her mind, but the truth is far more frightening: she can see into the Darkworld, the home of spirits– and the darkness is staring back.

Desperate to escape the demons, Ash accepts a place at a university in the small town of Blackstone, in the middle of nowhere - little knowing that it isn't coincidence that led her there but the pull of the Venantium, the sorcerers who maintain the barrier keeping demons from crossing from the Darkworld into our own world.

All-night parties, new friendships and a life without rules or limits are all part of the package of student life - but demons never give up, and their focus on Ash has attracted the attention of every sorcerer in the area. Ash is soon caught between her new life and a group of other students with a connection to the Darkworld, who could offer the answers she's looking for. The demons want something from her, and someone is determined to kill her before she can find out what it is. 

In a world where darkness lurks beneath the surface, not everyone is what they appear to be...

Darkness Watching is now available in print and ebook.

When a beloved young researcher is found burned alive inside his own office, it triggers a chain of events that shatters the corporate façade of Prosud, the powerful family-run empire he served. Desperate for answers, his grieving girlfriend discovers a hidden maze of forged finances, chilling conspiracies, and a darkness that isn't just metaphorical. As she pieces together coded messages and half-whispered warnings, unsettling visions of her lost love begin haunting her at every turn-visions that speak of vengeance and a demonic presence lurking behind the company's glossy walls. Torn between the all-too-real dangers of ruthless executives and the unearthly secrets pursuing her, she forges an uneasy alliance with a jaded detective. But with shadowy figures closing in and an ancient evil hungering for every last shred of hope, can she uncover her beloved's final secret before the demon takes everything-and everyone-she has left? Prepare for a noir-infused, supernatural thriller of grief, obsession, and a love strong enough to defy the grave. Because in this city, the rain never stops falling... and the dead refuse to rest.

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.
