Reaper's Pet (forbidden love) by JoselinToftlund

"I love you." Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...no, no you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, making her anger rise even more. "Why are you doing this?" He looked at her with confusion, hearing the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened for a second before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, nor want you to die. But I can't like you either, humans live a short life, I live forever. I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," he sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made her believe this wasn't his words, but rather words he had been told. Do you love reapers, forbidden love, and a bad boy you can't help but adore? Then this is the story for you! Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. And pray to Death for her soul, cause damn, she's gonna need it. Saving her brother, certainly brought complications Willow had never expected, like becoming a reaper's bloodbag, or as he likes to call it, pet.

Too Dark for you to Love by Lisa_Evette

In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyou

Colorful Lies by definitelynotmaria

"Gwen, I can't do this anymore. The truth is, I don't even know you, and-" his voice cracked. I felt the first drops of rain on my face. "And what?" "And I fell in love with you. Of all people, you! The one person I don't get." "James-" "We're over." he cut me off and turned to walk away. *** This isn't the story of a girl falling for a boy. This isn't a story about a bad boy, or a nerdy girl. This isn't a love story. No, this is a story about ruin. It's about a girl who is on the brink of pushing a button and self-destructing. This isn't a story about a girl, at all really. It's a story about a force of nature. *I wrote the book at 11, but I wrote the summary last year, so please don't think that it is at all representative of the content. Read at your own risk, lol
