Everything goes wrong when Roxie Reilly manages to anger the most powerful dark mage in history. Things only get worse when she's kidnapped "for her own safety," when she wants nothing to do with magic at all. 

~

Roxie Reilly made a critical mistake: she threatened to punch the sketchy woman at work. That woman turned out to be Dani Darhk, the worst threat to magick normalcy. And Roxie had no idea that magic even existed in the first place.

Now she's entangled in the magick world, and wants nothing to do with it. But the walls of reality are beginning to crumble, revealing the secrets behind them. She's surrounded by beings of incredible power-some willing to help her, and most wanting to kill her.

Roxie wants nothing more than to go back to her life as a regular nobody from Tennessee, but no one is willing to let her-not to mention she would probably die if she did, because of the dark mage hunting her. 

Armed with only a pair of fists, a spicy attitude, and some otherworldly potential within her, Roxie is seriously regretting threatening to punch that mage.

 
Book one of the Roxie Reilly Trilogy.
Can be read as a standalone.

That's when the book jumps in to follow the path of those survivors. Um, there are factions of offensive(Elementals) and defensive covens(Guardians) and then there's the elements of epic love, love that consumes the people involved and of course what's love without a little danger. - Thank you so much if you've read this far.

Kali has always been obedient, but when she takes her first step onto a protected “humans only” high school in suburban Pittsburgh, she knows she was the wrong choice for this mission. Ever since the murder of her parents when she was too young to remember, she’s been sheltered – and trained. She can swing a sword with expert precision, but studying popular human teen magazines hasn’t taught her how to masquerade as seventeen years old. Jason is the target of the mission. She and Yuuhi, who was also designated by his own people to be her partner, must find solid proof that Jason is, in fact, a supernatural phenomenon. Yuuhi sees little more than a socially inept emo kid dressed in conflicting shades of black, but Kali only touches Jason’s hand, and she feels the sting of something dark and deadly. Jason’s shadow is bigger than he is, and if the leaders of Yuuhi’s people find out, Jason won’t be human much longer. The goal of the mission is to protect him, but Kali will find that the only way she can do just that is to break every rule she’s been conditioned to follow. She’ll have to learn how to disobey. Beginning with Kali’s point of view and then shifting to the eyes of other characters, the Marionettes of Myth series introduces Pittsburgh as a superhuman metropolis, a world both wild and conquered by the monsters buried in its seams and darkest shadows. And those monsters will be watching her. ♦ Completed! ♦ [Copyright © 2013 Sarah Godfrey & Victoria DeRubeis] (All current books in the series are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format.

Lara, in this magical and enchanting world, nothing is a lie! So believe in fairy tales. This was the phrase my mother whispered to me every night with her gentle voice. When she read the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk," I would always curiously ask: • But why don't I have a magic bean that can take me wherever I want? She would smile kindly and keep hope alive in my heart. We all believed in magic and wizards as children, fairy tales, and Little Red Riding Hood! I wished I would never know the bitter taste of reality. But years after her death, I faced the harsh reality of the world; a reality I had always tried to escape. After my mother's death, her voice remained with me, inviting me to the bright world of hope; unlike many who grew up and no longer believed in any childish dreams. But I remained faithful to stories and the land of fairies, believing that destiny awaits us all! We are born into different tales and live with love. However, the bitterness of the world ensnared me in its grip. Just when I was only nine years old, I became acquainted with the bitter reality of life; when the snowy night arrived! I had never seen snow so terrifying and ugly. Because my mother was in bed, coughing up blood and taking her last breaths. A tiny bit of white snow had fallen from my woolen boots onto the ground, and when her hand hung limp, droplets of blood dripped from her fingers onto the snow, turning it red.

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.

#1 romance fantasy #1Dragonlove, #2 Paranormal Romance highest rankings. Awards: Short list of Writers Recognition Awards Dark humor, justice, and love in the streets of New Orleans. Alex trawls the streets and alleys of New Orleans for pushers, pimps, and johns to beat senseless and leave naked in alleys. It's her revenge against the rapist stalking her. Morgan told her that he rescued her from the government agency that experimented on her and that she belongs to him. He had proven painfully to her that her new powers don't work against him. She escaped and her rage now falls on the others of his kind. Her goal is simple: take down the bad guys with her fun neuro-electric powers and snarky humor until one of them finally kills her.

Can this dragon and his brothers save her from her course of self-destruction? Or will they be dragged down her spiral of revenge and dark humor ? Note to reader : This book is not set in modern day New Orleans. This is a mixture of the New Orleans of my childhood, the New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina, and part fantasy. After Katrina, I needed some fantasy about New Orleans as well.

Please notify me if you find any errors that I missed. Each chapter will be posted each except on the weekends. If I miss a day, I will post it the next day. There are violence, profanity, and some senstive content, but none of them are high. If I add some romance, they will be mild.
