Paloma Chanul is the curandera of the small town of Culantro, the equivalent of a shaman healer. But her confidence in her abilities disappeared when the yellow fever tore through town and killed many townsfolk and riversfolk. Her boyfriend, Canelo, has a hard time consoling her while keeping up with his duties of Sheriff; he has been unfaithful in the Past, so he is trying to be a good man to Paloma. 

As the two struggle to work through these issues, a new threat takes root in the town of Culantro. Riversfolk begin to disappear in the middle of the night and are found in the morning...completely shriveled up. But is the culprit a supernatural monster or a serial killer that feeds off the overly superstitious population?All Rights Reserved

I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Ix Chel and the Exiled Shadar Kai by iamtouhou

Ix Chiel was born into a peaceful village nestled deep in the Yucatn jungle, where the ancient traditions and rich culture of the Marani people thrived. Named after the Marani goddess of the moon and medicine, she was expected to lead a humble life, honoring the gods through rituals and daily offerings. From a young age, Ix Chiel showed an unusual affinity for the sacred practices, and the village elders saw in her a vessel chosen by the gods. On her eighteenth birthday, a great drought struck the land. Desperate to appease Chaac, the god of rain, the elders determined that a human sacrifice was necessary. Ix Chiel, with her deep connection to the divine, was chosen. Bound and adorned with sacred markings, she was led to the sacrificial altar atop a great pyramid. As the ceremonial blade descended, Ix Chiel's vision blurred, and she accepted her fate with a prayer. Her body fell, lifeless, and the village waited for the rains. But as darkness enveloped her consciousness, a voice, ancient and foreign, whispered promises of revenge and power. An unknown god, spurned and forgotten by the Marani pantheon, reached out and pulled her from death's embrace. Her eyes opened, now glowing with an otherworldly light, and a malevolent force surged within her. Reanimated and fueled by the anger of the forsaken deity, Ix Chel became an instrument of vengeance. Her village, once a place of warmth and community, turned into a scene of chaos and destruction. She unleashed a storm of fury, annihilating her home and leaving no survivor.
