A Novel of Gothic Mystery and Supernatural Suspense! 

You've heard of the Woman in White and the Woman in Black, now meet The Lady in Yellow!

Approaching her nineteenth birthday, Veronica Everly is on a train heading to a stately home in the wilds of Yorkshire to take on her first job as governess to two motherless children, Jacques and Jacqueline, twins so identical that together they are called "Jack".
The secretive nature of the housekeeper, Mrs. Twig, strange books in the library, and the increasingly weird, disturbing antics of the twins bring up Veronica's deepest fears. But when she meets the twins' father, the dark, handsome and stormy Rafe de Grimston, her fate seems sealed.
Belden House is full of mysteries. An unseen bell tolls, wolves prowl the grounds, and under the full moon, a lady appears in a yellow gown whose eyes run red with blood.
There is a curse on Belden House that drives Rafe de Grimston to despair. It has something to do with the old church in the forest, Saint Lupine's. It has even more to do with the lady in yellow. .All Rights Reserved

The DRACULA Dossier ⱽᵒˡᵘᵐᵉ² by BellOfSilence

** A young woman sees a walking dead in the open streets of Whitby. A train full of corpses crashes into Kings Cross. In an Asylum, a gruesome nightmare becomes horrible reality. All this should have been a warning to Kyle and his partner Benjamin of the Order of Seekers. ** "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived; let it be deceived!" - Motto of the Order of Seekers - London 1899. Where spirit calling has become as normal as cricket and tennis, the lines between fantasy and reality blur. In fine society, occultism and an affiliation with 'secret' lodges are part of the latest fashion. A particularly exclusive group of this kind is the Order of Seekers, dedicated to researching, keeping secrets, and covering up supernatural events. The Magician Kyle Crowford and the Military Doctor Dr. Benjamin Archer belong to that lodge. Their latest order: a girl is said to have seen a revenant in Whitby in broad daylight. Was it just the mirage of a twisted mind or horrible facts? A race against time begins for the seekers because their tracks always lead them to a clue: vampires. If everything turns out to be true and the dead walk the earth, the living will fill the graves by the hundreds. What begins for the two men with a seemingly harmless order develops into a landslide of events, the extent of which soon terrorizes the whole of London. **** Cover by Thinkerling

The Dark Witch's Daughter by dke0618

*Featured in the Wattpad Gems: Treasure Chest Edition! When Josie's birthday finally arrives, she is able to leave the orphanage she has always called home. She has one quest: to find out why she ended up there in the first place. The strange amulet she has clung to her whole life is her only clue to the past. During her search for answers, Josie breaks the most important human rule: she crosses over into a town only supernaturals can enter. The fact that she survives the trip through the barrier means she's something more than human... When she enrolls at Bennett Academy, she is introduced to the world of Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Fairies, and even Zombies. Between a rather rude professor, a gorgeous but unapproachable vampire, and a befriended gothic fairy, can Josie adjust to her new life and find the answers she's searching for?

Shift | Complete ✔️ by TheSanguineSongbird

• Completed • • Highest Ranking • #6 Werewolf February 2022 • Awards • 1st Place Paranormal Category: Splendiferous Awards May 2021 • Summary • A story of belonging, family and love, Edie Cohen goes on a journey of self-discovery to find out who she really is. Edie thinks she is human. She has never been told otherwise. Not by the elderly aunt who raised her, and not by anyone else. But it isn't until her aunt passes away from illness that Edie learns that there is far more to the bedtime stories she was told as a child... Guided only by the notes her aunt left behind and her questionable instincts, Edie finds herself thrust into the middle of supernatural conflict that leaves her questioning everything she has ever known. Soon Edie learns that her mother was a werewolf, and her father a human, neither able to give her the guidance and answers she desperately needs after they were murdered for their unconscionable union between species. Fiercely determined and independent, her journey lands her into the arms of her mate, a dark and moody Phelan Reyes. Unbeknownst to Edie, he has always been watching her from afar, protecting her from those who seek to exploit her hybridity. When she finds her way to him, Phelan cannot mark Edie to protect her. The process is toxic for humans, so there is no mind-link. No capacity for her to shift. And no way to protect her. Her hybridity is unheard of- and Phelan has to fight his own internal battles to make her his due to the risks involved. Add in a human ex-boyfriend who is determined to find her, and the werewolf council The Guild who will stop at nothing to ensure her mutation is ended once and for all, Edie finds herself on an adventure that is far more than she ever bargained for... Mature language, themes and scenes.

Descendants Of The Bloodline by etherealfolklore

After cheating death that day, in the mountains, that wreaked of spilled blood and fresh snow. Victoria continues to avenge the death of her lover James, hunting after Edward's daughter: Renesmee, and having no bigger desire, than to destroy the happiness, that him and his family created after her absence. But Victoria never planned to fall in love with a vampire hunter along the way, and she certainly never intended to give birth to two beautiful twin sisters, Clementine and Coventry. After some complications with their birth, Victoria allegedly passed away. But Clementine and Coventry believe she's still out there, roaming the earth, hiding in plain sight, and lusting for the blood of Esme on her hands. Suffering with the urges of being a vampire and carrying the burden of the werewolf gene in their veins, marked by the symbols of the sun and the moon curse, on their shoulders, Clementine and Coventry develop gruesome & insatiable habits, of feeding upon the human flesh. Will they protect Esme from their mother's revenge plan? Or will they join forces with her, and rip apart Bella's family one by one, leaving Esme to fend for herself? Find out in this bone chilling and skin crawling, page turner, Descendants Of The Bloodline.

Foreseen (J.Hale) by BHazelwood

Foreseen- to see future events beforehand "It has been foreseen." One woman stated, looking at the sleeping child in his arms, "She will answer to her destiny." "What should I tell her?" He asked, trying not to look his dead wife in their bed as he caressed his child's sleeping face. "You will know when the time comes, Callum." Said the woman, turning around to face the dead woman, "A series of events will happen and when it does, she will come to you." The truth can be cryptic and abstruse and for Henley Tanners, it was just that. First Book from the Foreseen Trilogy
