Psyche's Wings by OwlieCat

Four hundred years ago, Fenn became a vampire at the age of seventeen. Now he wants to go to high school, but dangers from the past soon follow him. ***** Fenn is a vampire - a fragile, a four-hundred-year-old, socially inept vampire with the mind and heart of a teenage boy and a love for pretty things and butterflies. For centuries, he existed as a prisoner of his own mind; but healed and whole at last, he wishes to learn everything there is to know about the modern world... by attending high school. When his 'fathers,' Ari and Soren, reluctantly agree, Fenn embarks on a journey of friendship and discovery, but from the very first day, it's clear that leaving the supernatural at home will be harder than he thought. With a sweet jock vying for his heart, a mysterious vampire-hunter refusing to be his friend, a murderous witch on the loose, and vengeful vampires waiting in the wings, high school may be more of a challenge than Fenn bargained for. *** PG-13 for violence and light sexuality Cover designed by Adam Budny

In a world torn apart by a holy war between humans and demons, Ari clings to one unshakable truth: Mouths lie, but blood does not. Haunted by the shadows of his past and desperate for answers, he turns to Auovin-a demon whose secrets could lead to salvation or ruin. What Auovin reveals is a devastating truth-one that forces Ari to question not only his place in the war but the very foundations of his identity. As the fragile boundaries between love and betrayal, redemption and damnation blur, Ari must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for the answers he seeks. The raging conflict pushes Ari's journey into one of self-discovery. Guided and tormented by Auovin, Ari is drawn into a web of fierce struggles and consuming desires. With every revelation, truth exacts an ever-steeper cost, and the price of love may demand everything he has left. In the end, Ari must face the ultimate question: What is the price of being true to oneself?

Rich with mystery and thoughtful introspection, Ari's story lays the foundation for an epic tale that explores the cost of truth, the power of identity, and the meaning of love in a fractured world. @ADreamingReality for this gorgeous cover!

The Merry Men Masquerade by stayonbrand

Ronan Hastings thought in lists. Depending on who you asked, this might be called a strategy, a shortcoming, a merit, or a crutch. Maybe even a coping mechanism. If he had to make a list to sum up his life at the moment, it would look something like this: 1. He was one of six in a group of thieves, and a good one at that. 2. He only had four friends in the world. 3. He was probably in love, and it didn't feel good. 4. Stealing didn't feel too good anymore, either, but he didn't have anything else. 5. He was the type of person others cared for enough to make promises to, but never enough to keep them. 6. There was something about the newest member of their team that he couldn't bring himself to trust.
