The year is 1881, and five years have passed since the events of the SOMETHING STRANGE & DEADLY series. Eleanor Fitt and the Spirit-Hunters are comfortable (and perhaps a bit complacent) as professors at the Sheridan Institute, a place for students both strange and necromantic.
Yes, some of Eleanor's students (namely the troublemaker Tristan Lang) seem determined to annoy her at all turns, and yes, she does sometimes find the scholarly life a bit stifling, but it's better to teach her young charges about magic and the walking Dead within the safety of the school grounds rather than subject them to firsthand corpse exposure.
But when Eleanor's former demon, Oliver, arrives with news about a secret society called The Luminaries, Eleanor and the Spirit-Hunters must decide if "firsthand corpse exposure" isn't exactly what their students need after all.
Especially since these Luminaries and their creatures of darkness want something hidden within the Sheridan Institute...

The Half-Ghosts: A Spirit Prince
Hemmett d'Espers-Fitzhugh is sick and tired of school at the Interspiritual Academy of Portales Espirituales.

Plus, Hemmett's terribly curious about the mortal world--especially mortal girls. When he decides to go on a spirit tour by himself to the mortal world, his encounters with the mortals and ghosts of the town just might shake things up a bit. But when he stirs up some trouble in the personage of an ancient hostile spirit, it will take every bit of talent Hemmett has to keep the spirit from destroying the town.Complete

They were happy together, until one day he disappeared, eventually she gave up waiting for him, and tried to start a life in the human world.

The girls heard that Weston got a new headmaster, so both masters decided to meet, and after they did, their old memories caught up to them and won't leave them alone. And while he's trying to get her to love him again, a boy and his demon butler are dressed like females infiltrating the girls school-by order of the Queen-to make sure there's nothing strange going on. Unless you call love strange then everything's fine. I own nothing but the plot and my ocs-which are the P4 and the vice headmistress of the girls school-and you might wanna read volumes 15 through 18 before you read this, and this's my first xreader I hope I did good and you like it. Also S/N means school name because I just couldn't come up with one.Complete
Dance with Darkness - Ghost Dance
“So, what are you doing this weekend?” Maggie asked me. “Oh, nothing much,” I replied. Just working as an indentured servant and hunting demons while possessed by a ghost. No big deal, right? Lynnette Cromwell gets thrown into the supernatural world when her sister goes missing and she finds out her cousin Pat hunts demons for a living. When Pat disappears next, Lynnette gets desperate and seeks help from the oldest demon-hunting company in the U.S. Since she can’t afford to pay for their help, she makes a deal to work for them instead, but the contract is vague and the president of the company is reluctant to give any details. To Lynnette’s surprise and displeasure, she finds herself partnered with Nakoma, a centuries-old ghost whose aloof attitude masks a mysterious past—one that she’ll need to share if they’re ever to solve a case of recent supernatural murders spanning the continent. Lynnette’s only hope to survive as a hunter is to trust the ghost, but the longer she stays in the world of vampires, daemons, elves, and demons, nothing seems as it should, and the matter of who is good and who is evil becomes lost in a haze of magic and darkness. Book 1 of the Dance with Darkness series. Updates every-other weekend.Complete

If I Die Young
(Prequel to Clair de Lune) "We're born to believe the opposite of different is normal, and vice versa. Well, I'm the opposite of both." I lost my parents just before my fifteenth birthday. The circumstances were deemed accidental and it was swept under the rug. Truth is, someone covered up the whole situation and I was sent somewhere I knew no one would find me. I was swept under the rug too. Critter Ridge Orphanage is an old building placed in the pines somewhere in the state of New Jersey, run by a kindly woman and housing a family of others like me. Boys and girls all different in their own aspects. They didn't like me and I didn't like them, which was fine. Miss Huld, the owner, seemed to like me enough and that was all I needed. Things changed, though. They found a dead body on our property and everyone scrambled to lock the doors and bar the windows. The normal kids at school all started to edge away from us, from me in particular. They called us witches and devil worshippers. They were scared they might be next. I couldn't keep my nose out of where it didn't belong and then everyone was involved in the mystery. There's ghosts around every corner in this house, and if we don't figure out what's wrong here, we might just become the next ones.Complete

Meet Kyle and Kate, two 15 year old students who have a gift for thinking fast, quick, and smart. Oh, and meet the other 18 kids in their class. Some call them genius, some call them annoying. PART 1 The year starts off bad enough, that is, with earthquakes and snowstorms. And finally, when things starts to clear up, the first murder occurs. Right in front of their eyes. It seemed obvious who did it, but as the murderer wrote her confession, a completely different murder occurs across town. Shocked, the police rush over to gather the evidence and clues, but before they even assemble their evidence, the police are led to another death. One by one, deaths occur around town, faster than the police can count. There's not much in common with all of the murders, only the fact that all of the victims come from one class. In the course on one year, the class of 18 shrinks drastically. PART 2 As summer vacation begins, the remains of the class split. Five students tell their stories of meeting new people, near death experiences, and funny incidences. PART 3 More than what meets the eye happened in the course of the summer.
