Monsters We Command by justmikame

Book 2 from the serie Monsters In the aftermath of the chaos at Blackwood Institute, Evie Hale thought the monsters were behind them. But when a mysterious artifact pulls her and Zane Calloway into an uncharted world-a place where shadows breathe and power takes form-they discover their journey has only just begun. This new realm is alive with secrets, ruled by factions that command creatures born of fear and fury. Here, monsters are not just tamed but wielded as weapons, and survival demands mastering the chaos within. For Zane, this world is a chance to confront the darkness that has always haunted him. But for Evie, it's something more-a revelation that the power she's spent her life suppressing might be the key to their survival. As her abilities awaken, Evie must navigate a treacherous path: one that tests the boundaries of her control and the strength of her connection with Zane. As allies and enemies blur, and the lines between humanity and monstrosity fade, Evie and Zane must uncover the truth about their powers, their pasts, and the sinister force threatening to consume everything. Because in this world, the monsters you command might just be the ones that control you.

The Rejected Mate by SpencerSuprema

Midnight River Book 6 - Sebastian is a Witch who is in love with his Werewolf boyfriend, Miracolo Thurston. They've been together for a couple of years, but one day, Mira finds his Mate who gives him the ultimatum of breaking up with his Witch boyfriend or rejecting him. Mira chose to end things with Sebastian. This was their agreement from the beginning, so Sebastian isn't as mad as he could have been. He picks up and moves to an abandoned one room cabin in the woods and when setting up protective wards, his magic comes across something odd. An albino Werewolf, malnourished and injured. The most intriguing part is that Wolf is his Linker. - Adrian grew up in a laboratory. He doesn't know anything of the outside world, and his vocabulary is limited to the early, formative years. No one spoke when they attended to him. When he turned twenty, his first Mate rejected him and kept him down in the basement laboratory. One day, a group of Wolves comes in and rescues everyone. Mason is the only one who can calm him, but when his Wolf feels healthy enough, he leaves Midnight River and runs to the forest, where he comes across a male Witch in a small cabin. With an Omega having Witch blood and a Fire Affinity and a lifetime of trauma, bonding is tricky for the pair. The Witches have been ordered not to retaliate against the group that has spent the last twenty years kidnapping Wolves with Witch blood to drain them as often as they can before they die... But being Adrian's Mate means Sebastian can. And he means to. *This book is the 6th one in the Midnight River Series. While it doesn't specifically take place inside the Pack, it covers a lot of lingering issues and hopefully will resolve things.

Hidden in the Heartwood {sapphic paranormal} by cjtruz

A genderqueer hillbilly and a haunted woman must break a generational curse that has entwined their lives in the abandoned coal-stripped mountains of the Pennsylvania Wilds. *** Desperate to flee a dark past, Finley drives off a cliff and prays to the ancient hemlocks below to catch her fall. But in the abandoned hollows of the Pennsylvania Wilds, everything comes at a price. Tasked by an undead Not-Deer, Finley must find the three talismans that mark the mountain's boundaries in order to break a century old curse, one that has not only haunted the women in her family for generations, but has also bound the supernatural beings to the mountain, including the dead. Fortunately, the handsome genderqueer hillbilly up the road, River Hawthorne, is just as eager [maybe too eager] to break the curse. Together, they navigate the woods where hungry trees walk and other demonic haunts roam, growing closer every moment. But breaking the curse also comes at a price and Finley must decide what freedom is worth when her past comes crawling back through the woods to haunt her.

Separately Together by laneyrenee02

HARLEY WALKER Maddie had become my addiction over the past few months, I don't know if the feelings extend any farther than that, but I knew that I craved her. Craved to see the blush that caused her cheeks to become the darkest of reds. Craved to see her wince whenever someone used a curse word and the worst of all was that I craved to feel her. Platonically, of course. This wasn't ... normal for me. MADELINE HANSEL He was the ledge to a very deep, dark, and deadly lake. You could only tread so far before falling in completely.

Blood by Rose22

Blood binds. Blood betrays. Blood remembers. She's living an ordinary life - lectures, late shifts, and trying to keep her head above water - until the night everything changes. A stranger in the glass. Whispers she can't explain. Dreams dripping in crimson. Drawn into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems, she's pulled from routine into a maze of haunted whispers, forbidden attraction, and ancient rituals she doesn't understand. Each step uncovers more of a legacy she never knew she carried - a bloodline tied to power, darkness, and a dangerous bargain she never agreed to. Now, as her hunger grows and her heart tangles with the very creature who may destroy her, she'll face the ultimate question: fight the darkness that claims her... or surrender to the blood calling her home. Happy reading.....🥰🥰🥰

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2) by immoralLaurel

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

The Bennett Family by jasminepick

"Do you know what I think, Noah?" Kaden asked, his expression grim. "I think we're all really fucked up, and the world's better off with us gone." ***** Noah Bennett lives in the middle of the woods with his foster family, and things are far from normal. His older brother Kaden's favorite hobby seems to be tormenting him and his younger sister Mila can't ever seem to leave her brothers alone. But that's nothing compared to his foster father Daniel and Uncle Pat. The Bennett family might seem normal, if not a bit unorthodox, but what most people in Faircreek don't know is that every two weeks, someone in town is lured into their home and fed to a flesh-eating beast living in the woods. Noah desperately wants to stay far away from this violent life before he and Kaden are set to take over the "family business," but the only escape he has is being able to work at a bookstore in town with his only friend, a girl named Rowan. But, as far as Noah knows, there's no leaving the family. That is, until Kaden kills Uncle Pat, and all hell breaks loose.

"SUMMER CAMP IS OVER, BUT HUNTING SEASON HAS JUST BEGUN" Thirteen years ago, a malevolent monster infiltrated minds, poisoning memories and corrupting happiness. Now, it returns with friends, plunging the small town of Woodbury into chaos. Isolation becomes survival as twisted nightmares stalk the streets. Lock doors, bar windows, and prepare to fight. Death is the only escape, but killing may be the key. Seven teenagers search for a lost outcast, unaware that their only hope lies with unlikely allies: an escaped convict, a private detective, and the enigmatic Whisperers of Wolfe Kreek. As the hunt intensifies, the Whisperers' cryptic warnings echo through the forest. "Heed the warnings of the Whisperers of Wolfe Kreek," they say, "and you'll pay the price, die twice." The clock ticks down, and the fate of Woodbury hangs in the balance. Prey and predator are not predetermined roles; they are choices.
