Trapped in the woodlands, Ivy's only hope of going home is to escape the faerie who enchants her into loving him, blinding her to what he is--monstrous.

***

A dark fortress of trees twisted and crippled by time, the Clearwater, Connecticut, woods is no place for two teenage girls. The legends claim it's haunted. Fed up with being kept inside after dark, fearing the monster will take them, sixteen-year-old Ivy Farewell and her best friend Margaret set out to prove everyone wrong--that the ghost of Clearwater isn't a ghost. And the voice that has been calling to Ivy after dark is simply a trick of the wind.

But the woods are deeper than Ivy imagined, each turn bringing them farther from home. When they end up lost their only hope is in each other. All seems undone when Ivy falls ill with a fever, until a stranger persuades them back to his cabin. Under his spell, Ivy falls into a deep and complicated love, a love so treacherous it blinds her to what he truly is--a monster.

Worth The Risk by dreammcatcher

Two years away from her friends, family and the beloved sandy beach that holds such a special place in her heart. She knows the visit will be painful but she's ready to find her closure. With wishes to build new memories to mask the old ones, nothing can tear her down anymore. When Ivy pulls up outside the house she grew up in, she's reunited with her older brother, not long before he drops the bomb that his best friend from university will be staying with them for the summer. His friend, JJ, who Ivy soon remembers she had a steamy one-night stand with less than a week ago. It was a night of sambuca shots, laughter and lots of... pleasure. Ivy knows one thing for sure-despite her utter shock and concern for the situation-her brother can never find out. Not if they both want to keep their sanity. But will their attraction for each other get them into trouble? It might be worth the risk. 18+

In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.

Rowan - By ElliTLG by elliTLG

Though, it's become clear that everyone would be thrilled to have these creatures wiped from existence. Why they're hated has become a messy entanglement of false information and tall-tales. Still, the hatred has never faltered in any living creature. Rising from a childhood of blood and tears, 17 year old Rowan has grown used to seeing misery and distress around him-- in fact, inflicting it is one of his favorite past times. When Rowan crosses paths with a 19 year old human named Evelyn Fontaine, Things start to become... interesting; Undoubtedly in more ways than one. Besides Evelyn training to become a police officer like her mother(which would badly clash with his unlawful, and frankly highly questionable hobbies,) Rowan gets a taste of the harsh reality of just how much the world hates Anadins. When the pair come across a strange woman who's seemingly entire life's purpose is to wipe any non-human off the face of the earth, their lives are shoved onto a completely different course. Just how nasty will the trials they face ahead of them be? Young Evelyn's life seemed to be going in the right direction- Already, she had a smooth path laid in front of her. When both of their lives (one still on the hard path to self-discovery) get tossed off-course by the currents of fate, they'll have to enter a new battle; one of injustice, transformation, misunderstanding, and even romance. What will happen to Rowan if not only his identity is revealed, but his secrets as well? What happens when Rowan finally understands why everyone is so terribly afraid of his kind? Is he forever meant to be the dishonest and mischevious boy he's been disguised as? Or was Rowan destined to follow a much darker path? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cover by ElliTLG

Crescent by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜, 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
