When 16 year old Blaine Bythesea moves back his old school district, he expects a brand new life. But when he finds out about Murderkill Park not far away from him, he decides to explore. While crossing a bridge with his new friend, the wood breaks, plunging him into the water below. He wished for a new life, and one he got. One with a "monster" and a supernatural ability that takes his wish a little too literally. And at the cost of another that could be forgotten forever.

I Can See Their Death
In the depths of her childhood, at the tender age of 7, an unsettling gift awakened within her - the power to glimpse the impending demise of others. Ghosts and ethereal apparitions became her companions, while the looming specter of death itself held an unyielding presence in her life. Anleane possessed an eerie talent; her visions never faltered, always revealing the cruel inevitability of mortality. Even those closest to her weren't spared. Hauntingly, she foresaw her own mother's fate, the grim prophecy manifesting just days before its fulfillment. A chilling truth gripped Anleane's reality: those she glimpsed in her visions were bound to the realm beyond. There was no escape from the dance of death that she alone witnessed. And then, the inexplicable occurred - her own figure materialized within the confines of her ominous predictions. Confronted with the realization of her impending doom, Anleane's fight for survival intensified, a desperate attempt to defy the very destiny she once foretold. Amidst the relentless shadows of her cursed ability, Anleane grapples with a question that consumes her every thought: Can she, against all odds, outwit the clutches of the inescapable, or will she become yet another victim to the merciless hands of fate?Complete

Unnatural Circumstances
Immerse yourself in the captivating and darkly humorous world inside the compelling novel Unnatural Circumstances. Embark on the journey of three unconventional individuals who willingly set out on an adventure only to become entangled in a disturbing and surreal series of supernatural events. In the fall of 1996, Soleil Barlowe, a sarcastic yet resourceful witch, Benji Horowitz, a kind-hearted half-demon with a passion for horror literature, and Casper De La Cruz, an artistic shapeshifter, committed themselves to their studies at their magical university in Hollingsworth Institute. Sadly, after much contemplation, the trio dropped out during the fall semester. Their decision is understandable. The scholarships barely pay off their student loans, their families despise them, and their rent is so high that the three often resort to unconventional methods to make ends meet. When Soleil receives an unexpected invitation to return to her childhood home in Louisiana, she and the boys are pulled into a world where Southern magic and realism intertwine. Ancient creatures ascend from mythical textbooks. Powerful witches frolic in their gated communities. Festivities linger in the air as the townsfolk are preparing for Halloween. However, as the gang journeys to the heart of New Orleans, they are pursued by supernatural entities at every turn. Vowing to stop the chaos themselves, Soleil, Benji, and Casper must delve deeper into Louisiana's magical yet sinister underbelly. Their quest for the truth tests their morals, leading to a chilling revelation regarding the demise of a once-popular amusement park. This book contains sexual assault, death, corruption, swearing, morality, and homophobia. If you are dealing with these topics, please talk to an adult or someone you trust.Complete
