Penelope Wood is a 12 year-old girl, who lives with her father. They lead normal lives, but they live on an island, closed off from the rest of the world. They have their own little town on the island, the town of Wisteria. Wisteria's leader founded the town so he could keep his people "safe" from all evil. Murder, thievery, witchcraft, and anything of the sort is never tolerated, under ANY circumstances. But, when Penelope figures out the secrets her father, and the town of Wisteria has been keeping from her, things get a little more difficult. When a mysterious cat appears at her window and becomes her new pet, the cat begins to unveil the secrets she's been wanting. The attic, the Black Ocean, the loss of an unbreakable bond, and her enemy Hailey Bailwest come to her in a surprising whirlwind. How will this affect her? What lengths will she go to to do what is right?

Flickering Creatures | ONC 2024 Longlist | ✔︎
When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover.

She never imagined her world would collide with someone like Ash Valemont. Mysterious, elegant, and a little too perfect to be real, Ash is hiding a secret far darker than she can imagine-he's a vampire. One who's spent years blending into the human world, surviving on animal blood and the occasional human meal, thanks to his bodyguard-assigned by his powerful vampire parents to keep him under control. Unlike others of his kind, Ash doesn't kill. He adapts. He blends in. But when Penelope steps into his life, something inside him begins to crack. She awakens a hunger he thought he buried long ago-a thirst not just for blood, but for her. And when that craving grows stronger, only her kiss... her touch... can calm the storm threatening to consume him. As dangerous enemies from Ash's past begin to target her, Penelope is thrust into a world of secrets, obsession, and ancient power. And soon, she'll have to decide: Can she survive loving a vampire whose darkness is just waiting to be unleashed? Disclaimer: This story is AI-generated with my own original ideas and creative input.
