If magic can't stop death, then what good is it?

Nikolai's parents are dead, and a lifetime of magic couldn't do a damn thing to stop it. Now he's left with a house, an unpromising senior year, and the suspicion that his family spell books left out something important – like how to not die. 

After his parent's funeral, "something important" turns up in the form of Elsa, a classmate with a penchant for the occult and a past that even she isn't aware of. She offers to help Nikolai dig through the grimoires and spellbooks his parents left behind. What they find may be exactly what they're looking for... or something else entirely.

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of. He's stayed close to home, done exceptionally well at school, and is adored by just about everyone who meets him. There's only one problem: There's a Maddie-shaped hole where his heart used to be. But no matter how hard he tries to reach out and find her, he can't. She won't let him. He let her down and gave up on them when she needed him most. And she's not ready to forgive and forget. But then Maddie's dad passes and she's forced to come home for his funeral. It should be a quick visit. She intends to make it one. But Jacob has other plans. He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.

"I...I have been nothing but trouble for you. Leave me to the same place from where you brought me." A tear rolled down her eye as she whispered in a low voice laden with despair. At that moment, he had walked to her, held her face, wiped her tears which he never liked to see. His intense blue eyes had forced her to hold his gaze. "Trouble..." He had smiled softly as he continued "Then you are the most beautiful trouble of my life and about leaving you...I gave you many chances Aria but you chose to stay. Now you are no longer permitted to do that." -------------- In the forests of Ulrik, there lived a witch. Secluded from everything till now, Aria had grown up to be a beautiful eighteen year old witch. But this witch has never interacted with a human being. So what happens when one day this witch suddenly finds a wounded knight in her region? Aria knows how to treat wounds but with no knowledge of interaction with a human being, how should she behave with this man?

On his journey to find this witch, he has encountered uncountable obstacles. So when he finally found the witch, his problems should be counted as solved.

Together they travel to save the people of Ludwig, carrying their own secrets in their hearts but how long could the secrets stay hidden?

GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath.
