After losing three fiancés in tragic accidents over the past six years, Lady Elphi Matson knows three things for certain: heartache only maims its victim when it should kill, not all haunted places are crumbling castles, and without a doubt, she is cursed when it comes to falling in love.  

Able to see ghosts since surviving a drowning accident at age nine, Lord Rufus Treadway works as a Private Investigator of the paranormal. So, when his closest friend Lord Roderick Matson pleads for help solving Elphi's curse, Rufus agrees to attend the Sanham séance, promising not to let Elphi know Roderick hired him and, for his own safety, not to fall in love with her. However, just like curses, some promises are meant to be broken.

(MalexMale) The Soul Master [Crimson Immortal Series: Book 2] by --CN--Writes
29 parts Complete Mature
The first of three curses was fulfilled. The town of Ceginia is no more, having succumbed to the Lich King's Heart Rot curse. Sei is still bound and obligated to finish two more curses for Zhil, a mage who learned the forbidden soul magic and forced a contract with him. They escaped almost unscathed from a group of mage hunters, who had been hunting for Zhil for many years, in the aftermath of Ceginia. Suffering from Zhil's poor handling of Sei's ghost magic, they both fell into a state of magical exhaustion. Sei is taunted by the nightmare of his rebirth into the Bleeding King, only to awaken to the news of the elusive Weeping King, another lich, being sighted around his realm. Sei and Zhil must return to find out what he wants before heading to Gytuana. The city where magic lives and the next curse in Zhil's contract. PREVIEW: Perhaps it was because Sei only managed an hour of sleep or perhaps because his mind was in disarray, he didn't sense the void steadily circling him. Hidden out of sight and biding their time until it was the right moment to strike. Muted by the ambiance of the landscape around it, a low twang of a bowstring hummed. Lofting its arrow forward at high speed. Penetrating through the air the wind gave no heed to its destination. The moment before it struck, Sei turned his head finally sensing the danger. But slow to judge the distance, he failed to get out of the way in time, allowing the arrow to slice across the front of his eyes, bathing his world in darkness.

Supernatural/Modern AU. Finding three mysteriously dead teens causes Sheriff Snotlout Jorgensen to call in his cousin and his band of supernatural investigators. Unexpectedly finding themselves in the past, Hiccup has to solve the mystery or they will all share the dead teens fate. Sequel to 'The Spectre of Raven Point' A/N: Halloween again and I couldn't resist the opportunity to deploy paranormal investigator Hiccup Haddock once more. Of course, there are no more spooky lighthouses in need of exorcism but a spooky house, some mysterious murders and a century-old wrong should keep him busy. Enjoy!

The man was a genius. RIP. Apologies to Vala 411 for Astrid's qualifications.

[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

"In the heart of darkness, love is the light." In the mysterious woods beyond the village of Amaris, love blooms in the darkest places, where light dares not tread. Elara, drawn to the forbidden shadows, finds herself entangled in a centuries-old curse. Kael, the cursed king of the Shadowkin, has waited for a love strong enough to break the chains of fate. Together, they must face ancient forces, unravel dark secrets, and sacrifice everything for a chance at freedom-and each other. But as their love deepens, the line between light and darkness begins to blur, and Elara must decide whether she is willing to surrender the world she knows for a love that will last for eternity. "Chhup gaya tha chaand andheron mein, humne raaton se baatein ki, Tere pyaar ne jo roshni di, usmein bhi zara se raazon ki baatein thi. Na tu poora roshni ka, na main poori raaton ka hoon, Par jab saath hain hum, to hum khud ek kahaani ka noor hoon."
The Trial by Wolvestime

London 1888. The ripper is on the loose. Everyone despairs not knowing who hides behind the persona. Meanwhile four strangers lives intersect at this impossible moment in time. Each one of them carries a secret, the others cannot know. But time is precious and dirty business threatens to destroy their lives. What burdens do they carry? And how will Jack get to them all? Old summary: She loved his paintings. Always beautiful, a fever dream, red dots and black holes. Men on horses riding to the sunset or death as an angel before the Lord. He loved her but he did not understand how to love. He shivered at the thought, broke at the seams. And in the corners where the city lights could not fall no more, there he fell. The other one. He fell into a habit. Fell into blood. Fell into lust. Until he reached nirvana. ▪Finished
