"Scent of Hope" is a short story that precedes BLEEDING HEARTS (Demimonde #1).

THE BOOKS OF THE DEMIMONDE: an urban fantasy series by Ash Krafton.

Look outside your window. Same old town, same streets, same people, same stories you've lived all your life. Or... are they?

Sophie Galen is an advice columnist from the suburbs of Philly. Like many sensitive women, she's done her best to create a shelter for herself in order to live in a safe, predictable world, protecting her vulnerable self: her mind, her heart, her soul. 

Then he came into her life and blew the walls in.

When Marek Thurzo arrived, he brought with him all the secrets she never wanted to know: the world outside was not what she thought. There were people and creatures and powers she'd never dared to believe exist and at the very center of this humongous supernatural web was one single person.

Her. The Sophia. The one hope for redemption for the Demivampire race.

Some days, she still can't wrap her head around the whole thing. Other days...

...she's ready to do whatever it takes to protect her demivamps, no matter the obstacle, no matter the enemy, no matter the personal cost.

While meeting her deadlines, natch. Who says a girl can't multitask while saving the world?

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Beyond His Evil by AmaraMelissa

The world stands on the brink of ruin. For centuries, vampires have waged a relentless war for dominion, plunging humanity into fear and chaos. The hunters, humanity's defense, fight to hold the line, but even they are losing ground. Kira, a young hunter born into this endless conflict, has always felt like an outsider. Powerless and overlooked, she clings to the belief that her life is nothing more than a cruel mistake. When she crosses paths with Devon-a dark, enigmatic demon with secrets as dangerous as his gaze-her world begins to fracture in ways she never imagined. Devon has a mission: one that could destroy Kira. But he never expected her to stir something within him-something dangerous and impossible to ignore. Torn between his duty and the inexplicable bond growing between them, Devon finds his mission and heart becoming harder to navigate with each passing moment. As their fates intertwine, Kira finds herself drawn into a web of deception and danger, where every truth she uncovers reveals another lie. Whispers of prophecies and buried secrets pull Kira closer to a destiny she doesn't understand. In a world where betrayal hides behind every smile and love is the most dangerous weapon of all, Kira must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to uncover the truth. The war is far from over, and Kira's role in it might just be the beginning. ~~~ 🎖️First place winner vampire category~ Libra Awards |2022 🥈Second place winner vampire category ~ Banana Awards |2022 🥉Third place winner vampire category~ Gemini Awards |2022
