1950s love magic paranormal romance vintage witch witchcraft

Kane has had enough. The strict life style of the boys home in which he had grown up is a grand horror show. The 1950's are no place for state housing of any sort. With no option, Kane decides to flee the grounds. The journey leaves him tired and weak, and with no hope of finding a way out of the forest he has entangled himself in. This is where he meets Gean Horlemeau. She lives with her extensive family, roaming from town to town and pick pocketing to keep food on the table. Or, the dashboard of their pickup. Gean helps hide Kane in his run from the State, but along the ride he finds that Horlemeau's are a family of strange beliefs.All Rights Reserved

**Coming to KU in January 2026** Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**

whispers in dark by vaishu5426779900

Follow the story as Clara gains a better understanding of this mysterious Alpha, and face the terrors the haunt her past. Sneak Peek: 'What are you doing turn around and go back, where safe here. I know it.' Said Maia ignoring her request I shifted and ran into the forest. I didn't know this forest well and was sure I was getting lost, though I still kept running. I heard a bundle of footsteps that weren't my own. I stopped tacking a moment to even my breathing, when I was jumped on by a big wolf he was probably double the size of me. He was pure black with a white patch on his chest. He was the alpha. Oh shit * * * This is my first book, so I hope you enjoy please give it a go. The description might not be that good, but I really enjoyed writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it.

Forgive Me (Rewriting) by TossMeASkittle

19 year old werewolf, Madeline Night has never had life handed to her. When her parents left her at the young age of 7 she learned quickly that she would have to work for what she wanted. She never took anything for granted and never refused an opportunity. When her parents left, her pack labeled her as an omega and made sure she was constantly bullied day in and day out. Maddie always stays in the shadows, ignores anyone who tries to make fun of her, and never speaks unless spoken to. Her pack abuses her daily and with them being the second largest and second strongest pack in America, no one is willing to stand up for her. That all changes when she meets her mate - who just so happens to be none other than Ashton Kane. 21 year old werewolf, Ashton Kane is the most respected yet feared person in America. Being the Alpha of the strongest pack in America gives him the respect anyone would dream of while also being able to make another Alpha back down without a question. The only problem? He doesn't have his mate. He's given up on the hope of finding his mate, with it being 4 years longer than most people find they're mates he doesn't believe his is out there anymore. So imagine the surprise when he finds out that his mate is none other than the regularly abused girl in the second strongest pack. Will Ashton want Madeline even with all her flaws? Or will he walk away like everyone else? *WARNING* this book does contain mature content and strong language so if you're not comfortable with either of these I suggest not reading this book! Thanks (:

Verge of Insanity by Honeyvine

My dream continued the one I'd been having for the past couple of nights. I ran, gasping for breath, through the familiar woods from a dark figure behind me. The faster I tried to run, the slower I seemed to go, until it was like I was running in place. I knew I needed to run. I was terrified of what the figure would do when he caught me. "Mara Leigh," a deep, smooth voice called. It was almost hypnotic. That was new. The figure had never spoke before now. I ran as fast as I could go, eyes searching the forest floor for a big stick or something that I could use to defend myself. "Mara Leigh!" the voice came again, this time more insistent. The forest slowly started to fade and I started to awake to someone shaking my shoulders. "Beau?" I mumbled, turning my head to the side. What's Beau doing in my room this time of night? Why is he shaking me? "Do not call me that name." My eyes flew open as I jumped at the voice from my dream. A face was right in front of mine, and just like the voice, it wasn't Beau. Before I could form a scream, a hand covered my mouth. I tried to bite it but I couldn't get my mouth to open. He's too strong. I started to use my whole body to try to get away, but he crawled on top of me, holding me down. I pulled the hidden knife out from under my pillow and slashed as hard as I could at him, but he just grabbed my wrist and squeezed it until the pain made me drop the knife. Then he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them over my head. He held me down while I struggled. I grunted and moved and tried to kick and scream, but I only wore myself out. Exhausted, I stopped thrashing and let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, so I just tried to prepare myself for whatever was coming.
