*Featured on FreeTheLGBT's Wicked Little Creatures list*
*Featured on Wattpad Vampires' Dark Romance list*
Vick was bitten by a vampire three months ago. Now, Vick is a lonely vampire fledgling trying to still follow their human dream of being a stand-up comedian.
Coincidentally, they were turned into a fledgling at just the right time: the Underworld revealed itself to the human world that same night Vick was turned, and now every magical creature is now free to live in public along with humans. In fact, now there is even a worldwide dating app called LINGR for humans and magical creatures alike.
Vick feels they can't talk to their human family or friends about their undead life, but their fellow vampire friend Abby encourages them to use the app to find someone new to spend time with. However, as they use LINGR, Vick meets a slew of creatures that makes Vick question what they're holding onto and also ignoring from their human life. Can those demons really chase them in the afterlife? Or, shit, maybe it's just actual demons.

Curiosity killed the cat. Or at least that's what a young ghost woman, Grey, tells herself everyday, feeling the same tug to know more about the human world.
There's only one problem: the lights. The same lights that has made her kind extinct and has made her avoid any humans in her building. She's managed to balance her survival instincts and her curiosity for so long. But one day she makes a single error that brings her closer to a human than she ever wanted to be.
Now she'll have to give up the life she's made for herself or fight the light to save her home.
Let sleeping dogs lie. That's what college dropout Justin tells himself everyday, ignoring the issues piling up in his life. He's made it work this long. But one day he comes across something totally out of place in his world, and it's only the first of many.
Now he has to either accept there's a stalker living in his house, or that his mind is unraveling.
They're both running out of time.
