Twelve women are killed in London, cause of deaths unknown.
Miles away, in the English countryside, a little religious village has a disturbance, and everything turns upside down.
One unsuspecting teenager meets a warlock one night, and she is submerged into the world of the paranormal: befriending vampires, enrolling in magic school, and joining an elite force to capture a rogue witch....
Penny Sloan hates her life in the stifling Lockview Village, where her adopted parents remind her daily that they did her a favour when they whisked her away from London as a baby. But her love of horror novels, spooky films and black clothes makes her the village pariah. One day, they kick her out, return her to the bustling capital, and there she discovers the Cave, a city dwelling beneath London, where vampires, witches and creatures of the deep reside.

Unnatural Circumstances
Immerse yourself in the captivating and darkly humorous world inside the compelling novel Unnatural Circumstances. Embark on the journey of three unconventional individuals who willingly set out on an adventure only to become entangled in a disturbing and surreal series of supernatural events. In the fall of 1996, Soleil Barlowe, a sarcastic yet resourceful witch, Benji Horowitz, a kind-hearted half-demon with a passion for horror literature, and Casper De La Cruz, an artistic shapeshifter, committed themselves to their studies at their magical university in Hollingsworth Institute. Sadly, after much contemplation, the trio dropped out during the fall semester. Their decision is understandable. The scholarships barely pay off their student loans, their families despise them, and their rent is so high that the three often resort to unconventional methods to make ends meet. When Soleil receives an unexpected invitation to return to her childhood home in Louisiana, she and the boys are pulled into a world where Southern magic and realism intertwine. Ancient creatures ascend from mythical textbooks. Powerful witches frolic in their gated communities. Festivities linger in the air as the townsfolk are preparing for Halloween. However, as the gang journeys to the heart of New Orleans, they are pursued by supernatural entities at every turn. Vowing to stop the chaos themselves, Soleil, Benji, and Casper must delve deeper into Louisiana's magical yet sinister underbelly. Their quest for the truth tests their morals, leading to a chilling revelation regarding the demise of a once-popular amusement park. This book contains sexual assault, death, corruption, swearing, morality, and homophobia. If you are dealing with these topics, please talk to an adult or someone you trust.Complete

Hexenbox 🇬🇧 🇩🇪
-- English & German versions -- A heist gone wrong. A young ex-sniper lying in the dark of the subway, her leg trapped in the wreckage. A thing sniffing around, searching. Searching for the box. The box she has stolen... Get into the night! Into the museum with its artifacts! Into the subway where the world and the past come crashing down-and hope is just one clever thought away... Hi guys, we're back, this time again with something more experimental-a storyline that backtracks through its timeline. Kind of curious whether this works for you-at least, it was quite some fun to write! Especially when the story suddenly switches to Syria, and I have absolutely no idea how that happened... :-) There is a brilliant review by @TaintedBloodBooks, check it out here: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/11/02/book-review-hexenbox/ And another review by bookishbeam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_vkM8TYHn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Happy reading!Complete
Crescent | SAMPLE
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.

DELONIX [COMPLETED]
First day of college: blow up a lab, awaken ancient magic, try not to fall for a vampire. ●●● Red Hathaway thought the worst part of her first day of college would be getting lost. Not blowing up the biochemistry lab. But the explosion was no accident-and neither is Red's life. For nineteen years, she believed she was just an ordinary girl navigating the chaos of school, bullies, and late-night movie marathons. But everything changes the moment her skin cracks with magic and something otherworldly stirs inside her. Red isn't human. She never was. Whisked away under moonlight to Mystic Academy, a hidden university for the supernatural elite, Red is thrown into a world pulsing with ancient magic and dark secrets. Elves with sharp smiles, witches who craft storms, vampires who thirst for more than blood-and werewolves who smell fear. Here, the monsters don't hide under beds. They share your dorm. As Red struggles to control her powers, she finds herself drawn to a dangerously irresistible presence: a seductive vampire with secrets written in blood and a gaze that sees straight through her soul. He might be the key to unlocking her past-or the reason she doesn't survive her future. But something darker hunts her. Something hungry. And if Red doesn't uncover who-or what-she really is, this new world might be the death of her. Magic is calling. So is danger. And Red Hathaway is about to find out what happens when both answer at once.Complete
