Ash Between Stars [Paranormal] by maddy_kister7

They were trained to hunt demons. They never expected to become the experiment. When a failed exorcism binds Jacs Vale and Theo Lorne to the same infernal mark, the hunters uncover a truth their Order buried centuries ago - a plan to forge the perfect vessel by fusing a human heart with a demon's will. Now hunted by both the Church and the shadows they once served, Jacs and Theo must decide what's worth saving: their souls, or each other. Curses bleed into love. Secrets burn through faith. And under the rain-blackened sky, something ancient wakes - whispering that sometimes the only way to destroy evil... is to carry it

From The Other Side by aphoenix22

A fateful night left behind six brutally murdered young corpses and a once peaceful bucolic town crushed. With time, the people slowly recovered from the shocking incident. Everybody moved on and forgot about the horrific bloodshed at the Madsen estate that would forever remain a mystery. But Oliver could never. Even after seven years of continuous therapy, he still found himself tied to his deep trauma and a debilitating case of catoptrophobia. In order to maintain his fragile sanity, all mirrors have been banished from his sight, and all reflecting surfaces covered. He spends his secluded existence in an eternal monotone. Until, on another fateful night, he is forced to face his fears. A new cycle has begun, and whatever was the cause of those boys' demises seven years ago is back in town, and out on the hunt. No one is safe anymore. [ONC 2020 - Qualifier from Rounds One and Two] [ONC 2020 - Longlister] [ONC 2020 - Shortlister]

Deemotay by KristinaVallaste

Ketlin is an average teen, living in a small Estonian town. She had a normal life, normal friends... Then there's a new student at their school. Adam Langdon's captivating looks and entrancing grey eyes are something that almost any girl in Ketlin's school can't stop thinking of. But getting closer to Adam isn't that easy. He rejects every invitation, no matter what kind. He isn't interested in a date. And Ketlin isn't planning on puzzling over a guy she will never have a chance to.

After her granny starts telling her stories about things Ketlin never could have even imagined existing, she slowly starts to wonder if Adam has something to do with those deaths. But the more Ketlin learns, the more dangerous it gets for her. But surprisingly, the mysterious killer turns out to be not the only threat.

Temptation's Fire: Dancing with the Demon King (Book 1 Sinful Trilogy) ONC by S0NDREENJ

Being in love with a demon was the last thing on my wishlist. But somehow, my mundane existence took a supernatural turn, pulling me into a world I never imagined. As an ordinary girl with a typical routine and friends who were blissfully unaware, I found myself entangled in a reality where the extraordinary was my new normal. Despite the chaos, I couldn't help but feel drawn to this dark, mysterious being, who challenged everything I thought I knew about love and life. Our connection defied logic, yet it felt irresistibly right. Every encounter with him revealed new layers of complexity, making me question my boundaries and desires. In his presence, I discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed. He had a sensuous touch, a forbidden elixir, and his lips were so sinfully sweet that I craved them day in and night out. I knew the danger of even just sharing one kiss. Yet, I couldn't help myself. Each stolen moment with him felt like a dance on the edge of darkness, thrilling and perilous all at once. Our love is a delicious sin, a tantalizing blend of passion and peril that consumed me completely and this is my story of how I ran the risk of tempting fate while dancing with a demon.

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎ by SammyE9

[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!
