"There are some secrets that do not permit themselves to be told." Edgar Allen Poe. 

Phoebe King has secrets to say the least. In the attempt to save her life, Phoebe sold her soul to Hades. Reading the fine print isn't something you do when you're dying. To keep hers, Hades makes her collect the runaways. A soul for a soul, ya know.  One day that soul bounty will be the bastards who sentenced her to death by anothers fists and when that day comes, a new deal will be made in the Underworld.

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here." William Shakespeare 

Phoebe King may have sold her soul to me but it's I who is indebted to her. She doesn't just collect runaway souls, She's keeping the rest of the Gods from noticing one is missing. Only problem when she made the deal, I didn't realize her beauty would attract the attention it does. How can I keep the hidden agenda of my deal if all eyes are on her? 

"A sad soul is always up past midnight" 

The only thing I could remember when I woke up. No name, No birthdate,  Nothing but a sad quote about souls. Must have a sad one I can't remember much about because I find myself comforted by the night. Who the Hell am I? The only question I seem to want answers too.

“Look, whoever you are-” “Michael. And who are you?” he interrupted. Rude. “Michael. My name is Iris, Bonnie is indisposed at the moment, so my father sent me. I’m sure I can pass along any information so Bonnie can do whatever it is she does. How can I be of assistance?” I try to be polite as possible by putting on a sincere smile but my efforts are useless since his face is still marred with a nasty look. “Are you Hades' daughter?” He asked. “Something like that, yeah. What is the reason for your visit Michael? I know it's not to investigate the river of lost souls so what do you want?” This is how Bonnie talks right? Get down to the situation at hand. “There is a commotion in the heavens. As im sure you know, I am Zeus' right hand man so im pretty in the know of everything going on. Supposedly there's- a lost heir if you will. See, Zeus claims to have been pursued by a strange woman who looked similar to his significant other, and he believes that a child was spawned.” It all starts with an alliance. Iris is a girl in a sticky situation. She's also about to find out that she has been lied to her whole life and that everything she knows, even about herself, is a complete lie. She meets Michael, one of the most powerful men on Olympus without being a god himself. When he comes to the underworld asking questions he shouldn't be asking, Iris strikes a deal- a deal that changes her life forever. After her meet- her whole world is turned around and flipped upside down. Book by: Taylor Barlow AKA TaylorBarlow953 Original cover by: 4evadatrueme

Braxton University is located in a small, eery town that earned the name "Deathtown" because every year a freshman in college comes up missing or dies in their spring semester. Imani, Eugenie, Deasha, and Phoebe are as close as friends can be. Before they graduated high school they made a pact to always stay together and remain best friends. But after a secret and anonymous person referred to as "THEM" threatens to make their dirty little secrets come to light, they start to question everything. THEM forces the four girls to make tough decisions, throw each other under the bus and do the unthinkable in order to keep their secrets from coming to the light. ---------------------- "So you are really going to choose her over me?" Phoebe says with hurt laced in her voice and shown in her eyes. "WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK?!" I shouted to the top of my lungs. The warehouse was amplifying our voices and making even the smallest sound loud. "It's your dam scrunchie left by the body!You killed her! Just admit!" "This has nothing to do with me!" Phoebe nodded her head with tears in her eyes. "I don't even have any secrets! I was just trying to protect your asses!" "Which makes you the perfect candidate for THEM, doesn't it?" Deasha made a fair point, looking at her with raised eyebrows. "You have nothing to lose, nothing to hide. THEM hasn't made you do anything, you are always there and you always know what the hell is going on. It sounds like you are the one who we should be cautious of!" Phoebe looked at me like I betrayed her. But I couldn't help to genuinely believe what Dee was saying. Even Eugenie seemed to believe it. She just didn't say it aloud, but her face told the story. The only person who hasn't been affected by this is Phoebe. -------------------- This story was inspired from the tv and book series "Pretty Little Liars."

38 parts Complete Mature
Lady Bronwen is murdered in a satanic ritual by twelve demon worshipers. She is sent to the Under-realm where she meets Thanatos, its handsome and charmingly demonic ruler who wants Bronwen as his eternal companion. When Bronwen refuses him, Thanatos makes the Lady a deal of her own. If she can track down all of her killers, he will release her from his possession. However, if she cannot resist his seduction, she will remain his forever. Bronwen accepts the deal, trusting herself and her moral upbringing to endure Thanatos. But, as the identity of the twelve are revealed, it becomes clear to Bronwen that she alone values her life. She desperately tries to find something to stay alive for and is forced to question her conscience, religion, social standing and above all, her womanly desires for a man she believes is the devil. ******* "You wish me to..." Bronwen tried to think of the words and decided upon the closest thing to what he was implying. "...be your wife?" Thanatos laughed and relaxed back into his chair. "Marriage is a condition invented by men as a way to claim property over one another. What I want from you is a partnership. Be mine as I shall be yours and you can have all the freedoms the mortal world denied you." "With you." It was not a question this time and Bronwen put such a disgusted tone to the words that she saw a flash of anger and hurt in Thanatos's eyes. He dropped his glass to the table and before Bronwen could blink he had pulled her chair to the side and stood in front of her, both hands on the arms of the chair, encasing her so his conspicuous body dominated her vision. The air caught in Bronwen's lungs, hot and painful. "Yes, with me," Thanatos said bitterly, his breath was cool on her lips and his eyes were level with hers. She had the sudden fear that he might kiss her.
