In a small quiet town, where the ordinary hides the extraordinary, lies a secret world on the brink of unravelling. Ethan Eden, a 15-year-old boy burdened with a past that haunts his every step, never imagined his life could be anything but bleak. Until he opened his eyes and found himself standing on the precipice of a supernatural reality he never knew existed. Awakening from a coma, Ethan is thrust into a mysterious realm where ancient powers and hidden dangers collide. Guided by the enigmatic figure, Ethan discovers his pivotal role as The Catalyst, the linchpin in a chain of events that will decide the fate of our world. But this newfound power comes at a cost, as shadows creep closer, threatening to consume him and everything he holds dear. Haunted by memories of those mesmerizing green eyes, Ethan embarks on a journey of self-discovery, unearthing long-buried secrets and unlocking the dormant potential within him. With each step, he inches closer to the truth about his origins and the destiny that awaits him. Ethan's story is more than just a tale of a troubled teenager; it is the genesis of an impending apocalypse. In a world where darkness lurks at every corner, Ethan must find the strength within himself to face the shadows, embrace his unique abilities, and confront the green-eyed spectre that haunts his dreams. As he delves deeper into the supernatural tapestry of his existence, Ethan learns that his past is intricately woven with the fate of the world. The line between reality and fantasy blurs, and he must trust his instincts and the guidance of the enigma to navigate the treacherous path ahead. The countdown to the end has begun, and The Catalyst will either be our saviour or the harbinger of our doom.

"Afraid of me? Why are you so afraid, princess?" He placed his hand on the wall next to her head, effectively trapping her between his body and the cold stone. "I'm not afraid of you," she lied, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands. "I'm not afraid of anything." He chuckled darkly. "You should be." His lips barely brushed against hers in a tantalizingly soft touch. She was frozen in the spot, her mind a chaos of escape thoughts, but her body refusing to carry her away. It was like he took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers. _________________ In a corrupted world full of superficial and greedy people, in a world driven by lust and desire, Regan's thoughts and actions are alien to most. She feels like an outsider amidst a blur of faces that mirror the very disdain she holds for society. But she's not naive. And what will happen when she's thrust into the heart of the very system she despises, into the claws of a terrifying, demonic beast who happens to not want just her body, but her soul?

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter

Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.
