Because There Is a Future by SilverFox555

Seven years. Short in Elvin time, perhaps, but it can change a life. Lives, even. Doubts and guilt, those inevitable feelings, drove Sophie away from the Lost Cities. Indeed, she has successfully sent the Neverseen to Exile, but the loss cannot simply be ignored. And the deceased's family needs someone to blame it on. So - her. Sophie. The person who did the unforgivable, no matter how good of a cause it was for. The outcast no one wants. The girl who has too many powers for her own good. The Moonlark that has nothing to fulfill.

She doesn't know it yet, but she's connected to a darkness that could kill her, and that darkness is her mate; an Erebos.

Undine - by MarinaM56

What lengths would you go to for love? Sophie Burgess arrives at the lakeside mansion of Fern Deane to work as literary assistant to Elizabeth St Clair. Her garrulous elderly employer rules the household with an iron fist, and Sophie is forced to overcome her fear of drowning when Elizabeth discovers she cannot swim. When Michael St Clair, the enigmatic heir to Fern Deane, draws her into his troubled and fascinating psyche, Sophie finds herself falling in love. But there are secrets hidden within Fern Deane's walls too dark to let out and too demanding to fulfil. When Sophie finds herself caught between reality and what really lies beneath, she must literally choose between life and death. Based around the water nymph mythology, Undine explores the depths of the human and elemental heart, its hopes and fears and just how far love can be tested.

Shadow at the Water's edge. by WendyHamlet

Seeking out the aid of a teenage boy, who is more involved in their world than he knows. When Alex wakes up in the hospital, ranting about a girl and water, he is assured that his hallucinations were a side effect to almost drowning, and he was unconscious for nearly two days.

He saw a shadow at the water's edge.

Siren Song (The Fated #1) by UnboundWings

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana

Violet by SilverStarBooks

The life of vampires is incredibly dull since it's endless. This means their existence is utterly meaningless. So, these monsters must entertain themselves in any way they can. And vampires can do a lot-anything they want, really. Usually, these are not very good things. This time, they set their sights on Violet... Me, I mean. An ordinary girl, who's more often too sad for their wicked game to be amusing.

The dark waters| ✓ by SushiBor

I won't survive. I'm sure of it. Strong wind ruffles through my clothes and hardly allows my eyes to remain open. I'm surprised that I'm still standing on the rock and haven't been tossed into the whirlwind. Huge waves crash down upon the rocks making deafening sounds. I open my eyes wide enough to see the next wave coming. As it comes towards the rock, it reaches the height of a three-storey building and seems to loom over me for some time, like a monster looking at its prey with hungry eyes, before finally crashing down towards me like a waterfall. While it comes down one single thought comes in my mind. This is how I die. Then the waters devour me. ___________________________________________ What's the worst crime you could ever commit?

After all, Malia isn't the first to be reborn, and countless souls lost at sea still live underwater, tasked with saving mortals from the same fate. It's a tough job, but if Malia does it right, she can win back her life on land. However, vengeful souls lurk in the waters, determined to destroy the mortals above them.
