The Survivors
"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning.

Snow White: A Dark Retelling (BOOK 2 In ???? Series)
The fairy tales lied. They sang of a girl with skin like snow, lips like blood, and hair like night. They whispered of poisoned fruit, a jealous queen, and a prince's kiss that broke the spell. A tale of innocence destroyed, only to be restored by love's pure light. But that was never the truth. Snow White was never delicate. Never sweet. Never the lamb led to slaughter. She was the wolf hiding beneath the veil of beauty, her smile sharpened into a weapon, her crown forged from thorns and ash. When envy and betrayal cut deeper than any poisoned apple, Snow does not die-she awakens. And what rises from the grave is not a helpless princess, but a queen born of shadows, hungering for vengeance. The huntsman, the dwarves, the prince, the queen-all pawns on her board, all pieces in her bloody game. This is not the story they told you in lullabies. This is the story they tried to bury. The one drenched in darkness. The one where Snow White saves herself. The one where she rules. And kingdoms will burn beneath her name.Complete

Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete
