Annalise was sixteen when she died saving her brother and sister from a fire. One would think such an act at a young age was a straight ticket to an afterlife she expected. Instead she's in a world of creatures only imagined about and who are only allowed to break through the thinning Veil on Hallow's Eve. The Creature owns a bookshop and usually pretends not to hear when someone unwisely utters the name "Frankenstein." Nevermore makes puns about his writer, Edgar "A. Poe-et" and has a penchant for whiskey.  Arachne spins the fabrics for their odd little "town" and complains about the quality of modern day textiles. As an actual human soul, Anna's an oddity and they make sure she knows this. All the while Jack o'Lantern turns out to be a spirit who's free to come and go, unlike the rest of them. And yet he never offers to guide her to Heaven like he usually would.  While dealing with the grief of her own life lost, odd things begin to happen. Dreams she shouldn't have bleed into her memories. Memories not her own bleed into her dreams.All Rights Reserved

Secrets Of The Past by SnowyWraith

*Book One Of The Federation Series* Silvia Eastman was only five when her parents were murdered in front of her by a pack of infamous rogues. The emotional stress of the trauma caused her to shift into her wolf and she tore one of the rogues apart. But shifting at such a young age can be mentally, as well as physically dangerous. Premature shifting can cause a wolf to become feral, and unable to distinguish friend from foe. Most end up either a rogue or killed for safety purposes. Because of this, she had to undergo a bonding ceremony to keep her wolf in a dormant state until the day she finally meets her mate. Unfortunately, the bonding ceremony can have odd side effects at times. Though there didn't seem to be any side effects, there was one small problem. The trauma of seeing her parents die seems to have caused her to not only forget what happened on that particular day but also forget what she is. To make matters worse she had been unknowingly dating a werewolf, a rogue no less, who seeks to take her as his mate to take control of her pack. Sam has no intention of letting her get away. But there's one thing he wasn't counting on. Silvia's mate, Mathew Weston, had found her on the day her parents died and has every intention to claim her. But what happens when the most notorious, and deadliest rogue pack around the world, the Red River Rogues, becomes involved? Just what is their interest in Silvia that they follow her relentlessly? Will she be able to continue eluding them, or will she finally fall into their grasp? Read on to find out. **************************** **Editing Slowly** !!!WARNING!!!

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II) by Joflower

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*

Hunter by EvelynCourtney95

Book 1 of the Hunter Series A family with hunter blood running through their bodies. This family kills any mythical creature they come across, and they are trained to kill and show no emotions towards the enemies. At least, that's how hunters used to be. Hunter's have always had the trouble of killing ever since they got mates that turned out to be the enemy. Some hunter's have had demons, werewolves, vampires, and other mythical creatures as mates. So what happens when every hunter in the world has found a solution to having a 'mate'? Let's just say mythical creatures better beware to what goes bump in the night because there's a new creature coming out into the dark, and they're not afraid of anything. What could possibly happen with there being a new cure to getting rid of mates? *** "Get off me mutt," I growled while still thrashing. I wasn't going to give up that easily, especially to a werewolf. He had me still however when he brought his face closer to my neck. There was no way I was the mate of a mutt, it had to be impossible because I was suppose to be with another hunter to continue the bloodline. "Why do you smell like her?" the alpha growled out at me. I threw him a confused look as if I knew what the hell he was talking about. I had no idea who he meant by 'who' and I didn't want to stay to find out either.

Hell Hall by kamerykae

High School. A virtual hell to every pimple covered, greasy haired, knowledge loving kid who walks the halls of the institution. Only a very proud few manage to rise among the ranks to become "the cool kids," snagging the lucky fate of living the best years of their lives up through the twelfth grade. We'll just not tell them what happens after they graduate. In ten years, when the kid the football team swirlied is their boss, they'll realize that it probably would have been better to not be cool when they were teens. But that doesn't matter now. Why you ask? I'll tell you. My name is Bridge, which isn't short for Bridgette, if you were wondering. My parents were assholes when they were younger, I guess. It could have been worse; at least I'm not a piece of fruit or an airline. Unique names can kiss my little undead butt. Oh yeah, that. I'm also dead. No need to apologize—it's not your fault, unless you're the pile of crap who murdered me. If so, could you fill me in on what happened? I'd really like to know how my life ended. The last thing I remember is going out for a milkshake and then, poof! I was here. Where is here, you ask? If you ask any of the adults, it's Harrison's Preparatory Institution for the Gifted and Unknown. If you ask any of the students, it's Hell Hall. That's right, bitches; high school is now back in session.

The Day I Live by orpheusvamp

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods. DISCLAIMER: no images/videos are mine unless I say otherwise. Everything else belongs to me. Please don't steal, I do work hard on my stories. This book is inspired by the band Ghost, but none of the people(band members) will be included. This story is not a Ghost fanfiction! IF YOU TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THIS please credit me and show me your work! I'd love to see it!! ⚠️WARNING⚠️: This story contains strong themes such as: abuse, mature language, suggested sexual themes, violence, character death, and more! This story wasn't actually romance originally. It's just what it became~ 48,668 words(unedited) Ratings as of 9/28/22: #1 gothgirl #3 gothicromance #4 ghostbc

Immortal Memory (Iris' Atlantis 1) by OtsoTu

A few dark sabbatical years between university studies mark the past of Timothy, who has a few more memories, of a few more things, than he knows what to do with. He is now trying to restart a study path already once forsaken, in a human life that isn't quite his. A young man in a fragile human body, with a vampire's soul. With the start of a new academic year, he finds old acquaintances and new friends. Clover is a witch, with her magical powers equaling those of an oven glove. And she suspects one of their friends to be possessed by a demon. Lavender however is blissfully oblivious of her friend's suspicions and thinks she is losing her mind with vivid nightmares and huge gaps in her memory. Valentina, meanwhile, would be happy with just one recovered memory. She would love to know how she became tattooed, or even just what the Chinese character on her ankle means. But, as some of her friends know, the price of that one memory might be set higher than she is willing to pay. (There are some ethically interesting choices from the main characters, thus the mature rating. But nothing graficly shocking should be included, just a couple of murders discussed that could absolutely not be avoided.) (All characters are strictly fictional. I feel this should be highlighted, for while inspiration is always tied to the outer world, imagination composes a story out of it and colors the outcome with dreams and nightmares.)
