Life has never been easy for 16-year-old Billie. His dad is dead. His mom won't talk to him, and the people who he thought once cared for him are now desperately trying to ruin his life for revenge. Rumors of a conspiracy meant to destroy Billie's reputation start to flood his high school, and the only person who believes in his innocence is a total stranger who was watching him from the woods that day. 17-year-old Scarlet is bored with her life. Her overbearing parents try to contain her unpredictable behavior, but she is too curious and clever to not follow the things in life that catch her interests, and she has many. While executing a poorly thought out plan to investigate the town weirdo, she stumbles upon something much stranger: his awkward, emo next door neighbor. She saw what happened, and she saw what didn't happen. When she hears the accusations made against him, she takes it upon herself to free them both from their stupid, Washington town.

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy) by Sharkprose

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.

An Alpha's Duty by Littlepearl95

Ryan King is an Alpha desperately trying to hold his pack together. Between the blood thirsty enemy packs wanting to take what's his, a council that seems permanently against them and the arrival of his very unexpected mate, Ryan will have his work cut out to protect everyone he loves. He thought he understood his world and the people around him but things are not what they appear. Can he and his new mate figure out their entwined, dark history? Can they be the first to break the cycle? Or will they succumb to the curse that has haunted both their kinds? *********** They were under attack. Suddenly everything happened all at once. The two wolves partially shifted and attacked the closest enforcers to them. Throwing them into walls with ear shattering cracks. Although the enforcers were all paranormals, not one of them could best the brute strength of a shifter in one to one combat. Ryan could hear the growling of his pack far too close to the house for it to be a good sign. "They're coming!" Ryan saw the old seer point avidly towards the window as a huge timber coloured wolf crashed through the panes. **************** Highest ranking: #16 in eroticromance 09/05/2018 #01 in shadowwalker 02/08/2021 **Warning this book is for mature audiences and contains sexual scenes and swearing.

Blood Bourbon by WiskeySins

A down to earth cowboy with a past is thrown into the supernatural world, when he falls for a vampire who has demons of his own. Daryl's a bullfighter on the national circuit, stretching his pay check as far as it will go between himself and his brother's farm back in Texas. He also has the misfortune of being incredibly unlucky in love and stumbles into the wrong bar trying to forget a night he can only half remember. The bartender tells him to not go looking for trouble, but amongst the dark shadows and beautiful faces, it finds him in the form of Ryker. Ryker isn't known for being a nice guy. He's got a line that most people would believe is too malleable, but he is one of the good guys. Always shooting off his mouth at the wrong time or getting himself into fights he should avoid (but can handle) he sees the cowboy and goes in search of a fight. But neither man is prepared for the battle of wills and emotions that ensue from their broken attempts at understanding whatever it is that draws them together time and again. The more Daryl is drawn into Ryker's dark world, the more obvious it is that the Cowboy's half forgotten past may be more related to the shadow games and machinations of the very agency that has been trying to kill Ryker and the rest of the supernatural world for decades now. Mature themes. Violence, Swears. (Based in the universe of @Whiskeyjanedoe 's Breaking series. This is a little more than a love story) cover by @whiskeyjanedoe
