Today a girl was found dead, in a graveyard, surrounded by floral bouquets, and flower pieces.
Twenty-four days from now, a girl will be found, dead in a stream, surrounded by mist.
Three years ago, a boy went missing, at a party; some say he was drunk, he never reappeared.
----
It's the year 3016. Many supernatural creatures run amok, but there is but one civil service job that a human can take to take on the weirder cases in the island of Jorra just off of the east coast of England - hunting.
Part-time vampire hunter with a love for interior designing, eighteen year old Desdemona Clarke usually takes on cases like this, with the help of her easily distracted older brother Henry. She has an average track record in completing cases; however one case she helps her brother on to her own discretion leads her path to intersect with that of the famed P.I. Gunner Oikonomou.
Desdemona is enraptured by Gunner's secrets even as they attempt to solve the case together...
... There is a warning label on anything, and Desdemona may just find out more about herself than she ever wanted to know.
Murders must be solved. The gods from Greek myth will be freed. Would you take a risk for love?

Desdemona ''Des'' Winchester wants nothing to do with Melliford Academy. In fact, she's pretty sure her parents shipped her off to boarding school just to get her out of their hair. It's a move they'll come to regret if she has any say in the matter. Nothing humiliates posh folk like having a daughter sent home from the country's most esteemed educational institution. Just flunking class isn't dramatic enough, though. Des plans to get booted in the most spectacular manner possible, just to make sure her parents' social circle will never let them live it down. Her scheming, unfortunately, encounters three roadblocks within the first week of class. The first: Exie Quinnell, teacher's pet, whip-smart, and unreasonably attractive. Neither girl intended to end up on a project together, but their teacher deemed Des in need of a little... remediation. The second: There are things about Melliford Academy that none of the teachers will talk about, even when pressed. Things that should be easy answers. The third: The first student found dead with a folded paper dove perched on their chest. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

Your Blood: The Sweetest Delight
When their coup fails and his entire pack gets scattered, either slaughtered or taken as blood slaves, Luke must escape the vampire estate, rescue what's left of his pack, rebuilt their legacy and plot his revenge. And if that requires forging a desperate pact with a half-vampire, despite his deep-seated hatred towards his kind, then so be it. *** It's mostly a comfort read, so I'd recommend reading when you're in for the long haul (It's a fantasy romance after all!) Also, regarding the Mature Warning: 1. The story does contain mature scenes, but only in chapters where it is explicitly mentioned. The rest of the story remains clean. 2. Also, the mature chapters are completely skippable. The storyline continues exactly from where it left off before those chapters, so skipping them will not affect your understanding of the plot in any way. These scenes sort of act as a more detailed alternative to the usual "fade-to-black" moments, which are otherwise implied in the surrounding chapters.

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest.
