PEOPLE BELIEVE FAERIES AREN'T REAL. THEY'RE WRONG.
Lily Boyd always thought her grandmother was a little eccentric. She never suspected the old rhymes and children's games the old woman taught her when she was a kid were anything but colorful tradition, and when her mother moved the family to Manchester and forbade her from returning to the Scottish Highlands, she just forgot the ancient tales. However, when she returns years later to help her grandmother after she's been injured in an accident, the memories start to trickle back... along with the unexplainable.
Lily's grandmother is gone. Strange creatures, dark and terrible, have invaded her home. Her savior is darker, more terrible than those who would have killed her, and he has his own agenda, his own goals. Troy's her only lead, but can she trust him? Can she learn the rules of his game before losing everything she cares about?
DON'T GIVE A FAERIE YOUR NAME. DON'T THANK THEM. AND NEVER, EVER TRUST THEM...

The Toss of a Coin
Supernaturals are real... But their not horrible creatures causing harm and destruction; atleast not anymore. After centuries of witnessing the heinous acts committed by humanity they have kept their existence hidden from the entire world knowing that if they were found out they may face all kinds of troubles. Unfortunately they haven't been able to hide from everyone and many humans have spent generations trying to see them either proven to exist or completely destroyed. However none have found any success in it until a massive organization which wishes to see them all extinct has somehow come into possession of irrefutable evidence of their existence in hopes of exposing them all to the world so that they can easily take them down. Needless to say, it definately doesn't turn out well. Can a group of 5 college students who all happen to be supernaturals manage to find out who is behind this exposure of their kind? Can they stop them before this group destroys everything that they care for? and most importantly can they show the humans that supernaturals are not what they say in the legends anymore? It's a game of chance and if they screw up they could end up dead. It all seems to matter on the toss of a coin.

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
