**Cover done by victoria_arose **

Finley Collins has only ever desired one thing - to lead a normal life. Living in the heart of a city with a mediocre job at the local grocery store, this goal shouldn't be considered far from achieving. Except for the fact that Finley can't spend his hours in the daylight like the humans can. 

The city of Sekotsdale wasn't unfamiliar with their nightly inhabitants. Vampiric activity was a rising concern among the people that feared to leave their houses after sunset. Finley, however, never meant them any harm. He would gladly spend his nights working or be at the bar with friends rather than ravage the lives of the living like fellow vampires would.

When Finley switches companies after a discrepancy regarding him working overnight, however, his attempt at a normal-appearing life changes. With his new store manager being a retired vampire hunter, Finley is faced with the conflict he's always aimed to avoid - either expose his true nature to those he's grown close to, or figure out a way to delude this persistent hunter from pushing him over that edge.All Rights Reserved

Riptide /GxG/(Completed) by Honesty577

After leaving an abusive and mentally draining relationship Brittany decides to dedicate her life to her and her daughter Aria, but what she didn't expect was to meet Jazmine Johnson a self-made billionaire who has spent her life rebuilding her community despite the many challenges that were set in place to restrict her. When they meet Brittany decides to dodge Jazmine like any other person, but Jazmine's persistent nature makes it hard to do so leaving them to begin something that would change their lives forever. This union comes with many trials as their pasts, presents and futures intertwine weighing on their already present problems, as Brittany deals with her trust issues concerning Jazmine as well as her ability to be vulnerable, and Jazmine battles with the effects of the seeds she has planted. - "It's you" She announced softly "So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly. "You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind. "And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words. "What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly. "That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory. "I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

The King Of All Vampire Kings (Book 1) ✔️ by S0NDREENJ

Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.

Blood & Honour [Book Four of The City of Eternity Series] [✔] by SurroundMe

Sebastian has always lived by the rules. As an official in the Central Zone of the City of Eternity, he processes vampires and werewolves who break the law, sending them to their deaths with reluctant efficiency. It's a job he despises but one that keeps order in the city. However, when food supplies fail to reach the supernatural zones, chaos begins to creep toward Central, threatening the fragile peace. Human leaders Aubrey and Alaric suspect revolutionists are to blame for the shortages and send Sebastian to investigate. Forced to leave the safety of Central, Sebastian is thrust into a deadly world he barely understands. Infiltrating the revolutionaries, he's given a chilling task: assassinate a powerful vampire in the Ruby District of the Eastern Zone. With the city on the verge of collapse, he must choose between his loyalty to his human leaders and the growing chaos threatening to consume everyone. Yet, his mission is complicated by a personal struggle-Sebastian's own family, his mother and brother, were turned into vampires during the first revolution that destroyed Barewood. His desire to protect them conflicts with his duty to uphold Central's rules. As tensions rise and the revolution deepens, Sebastian must navigate a path through treachery and violence, all while keeping his loved ones safe. In Blood & Honour, the fourth book in the City of Eternity series, Sebastian faces impossible choices as the city teeters on the brink of another uprising. Bound by his obligations to Central yet torn by his family's supernatural ties, he must decide whether to uphold the law or defy it-and whether duty is worth the price of blood.

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story) by writeraliciagonzalez

She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°
