Jennifer Lynne is a homicide detective working on one of the most horrific serial killing cases New York has seen in the last decade. When she and her partner get a lead on the suspect, they catch him with his seventh victim. But things go south and Jennifer gets unexplainably hurt at the scene. When she wakes up, something is...off.

The serial killer claims that he was possessed by a demon who made him kill six innocent people, and that demon is now possessing Jennifer. Normally, she would laugh it off, but his words scare her. They make her realize that what she's been feeling and thinking since that night isn't her, but instead is something demonic. As much as she doesn't want to believe him, she knows he's right - and soon, she will get the urge to hunt down seven people. An urge that will take everything within her to resist.

In order for Jennifer to be freed of this demon, she will have to kill all seven victims. And the longer it is inside of her, the more control it gains. How much of her will be left by the end?

She tries to figure out what the demon wants from her, and how she can help kill it. And now, her nightmares have went from keeping her up for a few hours to scared to even close her eyes. The nightmares are getting more and more vivid as she watches them unfold every night. She can't stand the feeling of helplessness she has to live with now. The jumping at every shadow behind her, the fear of the dark and what lurks inside it, the dread that never leaves, the horror that awaits her every time she drifts off to sleep. Alexis wants it all to stop. But maybe with the Winchester's here to help her, like she's there to help them, it won't be that bad. Or will the shadows overtake Alexis?

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

Dance with Darkness - Ghost Dance by MissLHazyB

“So, what are you doing this weekend?” Maggie asked me. “Oh, nothing much,” I replied. Just working as an indentured servant and hunting demons while possessed by a ghost. No big deal, right? Lynnette Cromwell gets thrown into the supernatural world when her sister goes missing and she finds out her cousin Pat hunts demons for a living. When Pat disappears next, Lynnette gets desperate and seeks help from the oldest demon-hunting company in the U.S. Since she can’t afford to pay for their help, she makes a deal to work for them instead, but the contract is vague and the president of the company is reluctant to give any details. To Lynnette’s surprise and displeasure, she finds herself partnered with Nakoma, a centuries-old ghost whose aloof attitude masks a mysterious past—one that she’ll need to share if they’re ever to solve a case of recent supernatural murders spanning the continent. Lynnette’s only hope to survive as a hunter is to trust the ghost, but the longer she stays in the world of vampires, daemons, elves, and demons, nothing seems as it should, and the matter of who is good and who is evil becomes lost in a haze of magic and darkness. Book 1 of the Dance with Darkness series. Updates every-other weekend.
