Ilaria's centuries-old exile is bad enough - eternally banished from the underworld and stuck selling potions and poisons to humans. Her punishment? Guard the portal to her lost home, allowing anyone to enter while she remains forever shut out. But when a murder takes place in her shop, the tables turn. Now, the enforcers - the very creatures who redeem souls for their own deadly pasts - want to bring her to trial.

Her only chance at freedom is to solve the murder herself, but there's a catch: she has to work with Hawke, an enforcer who has hated her since day one. Stubborn, powerful, and impossible to ignore, Hawke is more of a roadblock than a partner, and their fiery clashes are only heating up.

With the threat of execution looming and tensions running high, Ilaria and Hawke must navigate a world of secrets, soul debts, and a past neither of them can outrun. Can they solve the mystery before her fate is sealed, or will their animosity be her downfall?All Rights Reserved

Patrol: Crime & Punishment by CEBronk

She didn't want the job. At all. But after it was offered, she didn't dare turn it down, for fear they'd demand her reasons and find out her secret. So now she shows up every day to a job she never wanted. And the worst part? She's good at it. Applying for jobs just to get interview experience, Vania finds herself with an unwanted job with the group she fears most--the city's Enforcers, a strict sect of the City Guard that focuses on rule enforcement by any means necessary. Where she's from, Enforcers are known to be cruel and quick to judgement and have seemingly limitless power to do whatever they want. Like the ones who killed her parents for a crime they didn't commit. Trigger Warning: story contains violence, murder, and crime. **Note: I didn't design the cover. However, the designer asked no credit be given, so I will just extend a hearty "Thanks!"**

Find the Dark Eaters--that mysterious organization that seems to have its tentacles in every station of society--and dispose of them. This puts her on a collision course with Nanda, the self-proclaimed queen of the dark underbelly of the city, and a confrontation of the truth of the deaths of her parents.

Threnody by Itsteilakimmons

Aries Bristol is a bounty hunter. The best of the best, most terrifying, and she's a woman, frowned upon by all. "Women shouldn't fight," they say, on and on. "Women shouldn't get their hands dirty." "Women are weak." "Women are powerless." "Women are toys, puppets, made to look at and enjoy." They thought they were geniuses. Adding to her misery. She proved them wrong. And she always will. ●●●●● When she is called upon by an Aristocrat, Aries is hired to find a Demhi---a person---a race--- that is immortal. But she knows they don't exist anymore. They didn't die, no, they disappeared. As if they never existed. ...Didn't they? So, of course, she finds this bounty dumb... until she is paid one hundred thousand for the job, enough to sustain her for life... As she goes on her mission, she defeats many people, from drunken thugs to gang leaders. She also gets visons, dreams, and prompting from her Patron goddess, Thana, the goddess of death. As she is fulfilling her job, she meets a man. A very enigmatic figure, one she comes to know as he confronts her and travels alongside her. As they travel together, they bond, becoming good friends...or more. They unveil a path of dark secrets... some connected to their pasts. In the midst of all this, Aries deals with depression, suffering from past traumas, as well as realizing her growing feelings for this man. As the novel escalates, Aries needs to find comfort in her own skin and not to live in the past, as well as differ good from evil. WARNING: Rated mature for suicidal thoughts, self harm (mentioned), and depression. No explicit adult content, though very small mentions of r4p3 (mentioned once, never described, nor pressed).

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.

Saving Tally (last Book 6) Jacobs Broken Mercenaries by LRObooks

The walls between heaven, hell, and earth no longer exist. There are no more rules, and humans are becoming extinct. Only the strong and the clever will survive. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Jacob is missing after sending off his last true tie to earth; into the hands of the devil. Lucifer is fighting for control over a land he despises. The crew is hiding out in faery just trying to survive. Can Jacob save the day? Does he even want to? In this last installment of Jacob's broken mercenaries. All the answers will come to fruition. In a world where you're either the hero or the villain. Lucifer lies heavily in the latter category, but to Tally (behind his wall of indifference), he's just normal. Maybe a little selfish. She desires him and understands him like no other. Does that make her evil, too? How will this story end? There's so many questions, and only two possible outcomes are definite. The end or a new beginning.
