When Veils Thin
(TW: Themes of death and grief. Reader discretion advised) Athene was never supposed to survive that car crash. The one that took both her parents' lives. She had been clinically dead for four minutes at just seven years old. But she came back not bright and shining like a miracle. Scathed in more than one way. She can see the dead. Though she tries to live her life and move past it, she starts seeing more than just ghosts. And they have teeth. She attracts them like a beacon. When a party dare gone wrong puts her in the orbit of a Carmine Witch named Cassiel Sinclair and Ronin Nakamura, a Shadow Witch, they go on a journey to break the hold a particular, malevolent spirit has on Athene. In this race against the clock, she discovers the southern myths her Mother told her as a child, are anything but.

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.
Underground Angels
After seventeen years of not quite fitting in, everything is about to change for Noel. With monsters, gods, cars and impromptu prophecies, this is the first time Noel is getting a taste of life - and maybe a little romance. Just a bit. A two part adventure of a seventeen year old seer, thrown into a new world that she has always been on the cusp of. Cover by Lovingmng - thanks so much, it's beautiful! {Just because I think I need to make it really clear -- this IS NOT a Percy Jackson fanfiction. I thought of this idea around 8 years ago, before I read Percy Jackson and I had had a class on Greek Myths and Cassandra the seer. However I also am a great lover of the Percy Jackson series. Any similarities are a coincidence of my own mind making connections to a book series I haven't read in around 3 years. So sorry if there's been any confusion, I didn't mean for there to be. I hope you enjoy the book.}Complete
