Layla has rotten luck when it comes to love but the rest of her life is going well. ... Or at least it was.
Layla Takanashi had everything she needed; a good job, a great best friend, and a nice apartment in the city. A boyfriend would just be icing on the cake. But after a flop of a first date, Layla decides to drown her sorrows at a bar and ends up with something she never would have asked for. A death curse.
Now Layla finds herself dying in a new way every day with no way to stop it. She reaches out to Rhys Pembroke, the owner of a local occult bookstore, for help. But she soon finds out that he may be more than she bargained for.

The Witch's Vow
He burned her with his lies. She'll drown him in every life he lives. In 1692, Ivy Blackwood was a witch-young, gifted, and in love with the boy who would seal her fate. Aiden Mercer swore he'd protect her. Instead, he pointed the finger that led her to the gallows. As the rope coiled around her throat and the villagers spat prayers, Ivy whispered a spell soaked in blood and grief: "I bind your soul to mine. In every life you breathe, I will find you. I will make you remember. And I will make you pay." Now, in the sleek halls of Hawthorne High, Ivy walks again reborn in a modern world but carrying centuries of rage beneath her skin. Aiden lives too, untouched by memory, charmed by his perfect life... until Ivy arrives. And with her, the crows return. The dreams start. The shadows stretch longer. She doesn't want his heart. She wants his fear. She wants him to fall in love again so she can rip it from him, slowly. But ancient magic is never clean. And in the space between revenge and desire, old wounds open wide. Because some curses are written in bone. And some love stories were meant to end in fire.Complete![The Spirit Veil WATTPAD VERSION [The Akh Chronicles: Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/176861540-256-k273042.jpg)

Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry.
