The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series by RowenaBlack

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)

"I'm such a bother to yall." I choke out. "I'm so fucking weak. I can't even defend myself." Xavier's arms unwrap from my body, and his hands hold my teary face. "I'm a worthless h-human."

Witch in Hiding (#1 in the Witches Trilogy) (EDITING) by magic_has_prices

Vinni is in trouble. Not just because she's failing maths or playing second fiddle to a perfect younger sister or pretending not to miss her absent father, but also because she's just found out she's a bona fide witch, and someone is out to kill her before her thirteenth birthday. Her mother isn't talking, but other people are: apparently, it's not a coincidence she was enrolled in her school. Everywhere she turns, another door in the magical community is opened to her; her best friends are magical creatures, disguised as awkward preteens, but unfortunately, so are her enemies.

Psychological Desires by Luna04Bright

He kills to cleanse the filth-the ones the world already gave up on. But then he sees her-innocent, untouched, untainted. The world hasn't ruined her yet, and he won't let it. The only way to protect her... is to take her. She was supposed to die. But she didn't. Because something in her soft eyes and steady voice reaches the part of him that still remembers what it meant to feel. And she-terrified, yet unyielding-sees through his darkness. She promises to show him another way to live. While they dance a delicate line between ruin and redemption, the FBI hunts him, closing in with every chapter. When they finally catch up, nothing prepares them-or her-for the tragic, haunting end. This isn't a love story. It's a psychological desire. And it always ends in blood.

Eduardo's Dandelion. by zephina__

**** Aviva's life was ordinary-until the night a stranger hijacked her car and ordered her to drive off a cliff. He was running from something, from someone, and before she could understand what was happening, she was dragged into a world she never knew existed. Caught in the crossfire of powerful and dangerous men, Aviva quickly realizes that survival is not guaranteed. Kidnapped and thrust into the unknown, she is forced to navigate a deadly game where every step could be her last. Then there's Eduardo Reyes-the man who started it all. Strong-willed, brutal, and unyielding, he is no ordinary fugitive. A proud leader with enemies lurking in every shadow, he never expected to be kidnapped, much less alongside a stranger.

But with danger closing in from all sides, one question remains: how do you escape a world you were never meant to survive?

Once Upon a Deadland by AlveenWoro

Who holds the pen that writes reality? Our world is bound by a silent covenant of laws-mathematical, physical, undeniable. But these laws are not graven in stone. They are written in a script that can, under terrible duress, be rewritten. When this happens, the first crime is not against a person, but against existence itself. In the Island State of Blaqountee, this ultimate transgression is unfolding. A nameless dread settles over the streets like fog. The people feel it in their bones: the baseline of 'what is' is shifting beneath them. A memory that three people share-but only two remember. A door that opened east yesterday, opens west today. The city's underworld notices first. When the rules bend, power flows to those who see it happening. They are not facing annihilation. They are facing something older and more patient: erasure. History rewritten. Physical laws negotiated. The architecture of being itself, edited by a hand they cannot see. Multiple lives. Multiple agendas. A shattered criminal mastermind fighting to impose his vision of what must be. Detectives hunting a killer through crimes that defy the logic of cause and effect. Ideologues who believe reality should be rewritten. A survivor who remembers a world no one else does. Each fighting for their vision of what should be real. Each wielding their conviction as a weapon in a war that isn't fought with bullets-it's fought with narratives, competing gospels for a world coming undone. This is the labyrinth. Sanity is the cost of entry. Understanding is the cost of survival. To witness this is to see the terrible machinery behind existence. To choose a side is to become an instrument of ontological murder-or salvation. This is a war for the soul of reality itself. Who will break? Who will endure? And who will finally seize the pen?

Winding Dawn (Dusk Series - Book 9) by AmeliaCrossGE

Eliza Lovell has lived a dangerous life, inducted into the hunter organization as a child and hunting vampires since she could walk. Though she wouldn't say she was unhappy. Nothing was more satisfying than sinking her spell-forged blades into the monsters that stalked and terrorized human kind. What she did was a service.

Someone is draining vampires of their blood and hanging them up for display, but there is more to it than just hate. Remnants of Copse magic linger at the dump sites, powerful yet foreign. Though Alec is no longer a Copse, it falls on him to clear his former family's name, alongside his mate Idus and some more unconventional allies.

DELONIX [COMPLETED] by whathepeach

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.

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.
