When he hung up his combat boots for the last time, Eric planned to enjoy a taste of the quiet life. Destiny had other ideas.

After being called out to help an old friend with a mysterious disturbance, Eric finds himself at the front line of a very different kind of battlefield; one where the weapons are unearthly, the stakes are high, and the enemies aren't human.

Alongside Cassie, his friend, fellow monster hunter, and begrudging surrogate sister, Eric makes it his mission to rid Missouri County of its supernatural scourge, but what started off as a simple job ends up costing Eric more than he knew he had to lose.

Bound by greenwitchwrites

#1 Werewolf (08.09.2022) Ever since her eighteenth birthday, Skylar Morgan has been tormented by the same recurring nightmare. Now, eight years later, she's finally found peace in a quiet town and opened the shop she always dreamed of-accepting the nightmares as a strange, unsettling part of her life. Until the newcomers arrive. Among them is a striking, rugged stranger whose presence changes everything. With Dmitri Makarov's arrival, Skylar's once-calm world unravels, revealing a reality she never imagined. Because Dmitri isn't just any man-he's a Lycan, the Alpha of a powerful nearby pack, and the sworn protector of the town she calls home. He isn't searching for a mate. But fate has other plans. When Hunters begin circling Skylar, Dmitri is forced to step in-only to discover that Skylar's secrets run deeper than either of them realized. And the nightmares she carries may be the key to a legend that binds them together... and a threat hiding in the shadows. With their fates intertwined, Skylar and Dmitri must uncover the truth before the puppeteer behind the chaos destroys them both. Bound is not your typical shifter romance and contains more mature characters with a focus on the relationship and character development. This book contains some curse words and explicit sexual scenes as Skylar explores her sexuality. This book is for a mature audience.

Monster by JReynolds1590

Monsters are real. They've always been here, hiding in plain sight. Sam had no idea... until something ancient and hungry stepped out of the woods and tore his life apart. Now he's not just running from the darkness... he is the darkness. Twisted into a creature he doesn't understand, driven by a brutal hunger he can't control, Sam must choose: protect the ones he loves, or embrace the monster inside. In a new city, Sam is hunted on all sides by those who slay things like him without mercy. Sam hides among them, searching for answers while he assists them with trying to track something that is hiding right under their noses. But as he gets closer to their secrets, and their daughter, his own secrets risk coming out. His curse attracts even greater threats that rest beneath the city, in a dark, hidden place, that might destroy them all. When he was still human, he thought monsters were myths... legends. But now he has to study those old legends to try and figure out what exactly is hiding behind his eyes. His fears begin to swell and overtake his fake life as he slowly realizes... what he's carrying inside is maybe something much older, and way more dangerous than any of them is prepared to face. -Slow-burn progression -Deeper emotional story -Hard choices to be made -Re-releasing this story.

The Coven's Source by Tophat

It has been nine years since Lyra discovered Grigore; her Weaver and guardian of the living magic nestled in her body. Nine years since she doggedly followed him through hell and death, determined to not let him slip out of her grasp and shake free his denial. Nine years since he accepted her. Rumours are spreading that a Lord is hunting Sources; his lands plagued by famine and madness. As Lyra dreams of two women begging her to save them, she finds herself inexplicably pulled to the cursed lord and his haunted lands. Despite the dangers, Lyra and Grigore dive into the chaos, unaware that their abilities as a hunting pair and as lovers was going to be put to the test. Volume Two of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Back in 2014 I finished writing the original story, The Weaver's Source, and I am re-opening the world again as I feel I have a story worth telling. The Coven's Source is set nine years after the original ends, is a single story arc rather than many small ones. This will show the hunter I always envisioned Lyra to be but didn't have the opportunity to show. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot.
