***Maybe I wanted him to hate me. Maybe that’s why he did. Hate is a powerful idea, and if he hated me than at least I knew he felt something – that he was capable of human emotion, or any kind of emotion for that matter. I wanted that for him; to be as human and as real as possible, because that meant I was making the right choice. It meant that my decision to go against everything I’d ever known was justified.***
Astrid has amnesia, which is why she doesn’t realize she’s been kidnapped. It’s why she doesn’t know the Devinro’s are actually demonic children – Lawless’ – that took her away from her real home to use her powers of truth seeking. Its why she trusts them in spite of being their mortal enemy, and it’s the reason she choose to fight for them. But when her memories return will Astrid feel the same way?
Will her friendship with the wild yet reasonable Tess survive? Will the inexplicable hold Lain has over her disappear? Astrid once believed that blood decides our fate – that Demons were Demons, and Anglecians were Anglecians; that there was a definitive line between good and evil. But now that she’s seen both sides it’s hard to tell what’s right and what’s wrong. Maybe – just maybe – there’s a little Demon in all of us. Likewise, there’s a little Angel in us all, too.

Clear Blindness
WARNING: SEQUEL TO Blinding Darkness!!!!! By: Momentz_Night (ME!) I now know why my mother would sacrifice herself for me all those years ago. . .it was because her love for me was so strong that her own life meant nothing to her if it came to my own. Despite the fact that I was really her niece - due to the fact that her twin sister and brother-in-law, my biological mother and father, dropped me off at her and her family's doorstep when I was not even a week old - she cared for me. The man and woman I considered my father and mother, Walter and Helen, took me in with their own children, my three big brothers. So as I stand on the same cliff she took her own life at - and the person who wanted me for my pure blood genes - I stare into the eyes of a soulless monster. A being that has no heart, and the monster wants something from me that I cannot give without a fight; my precious child. I place myself between my loved ones and the Alpha King, ready to fight till death if I have to. And so it begins. . . . ********* Elizabeth is now separated from her pack and beloved mate, Vincent, and is trying to protect those she loves by finally destroying the Alpha King forever. But as her child is born she finds out something shocking beyond anything she ever knew and that shock changes to fear as she realizes that she must never let that something happen. You want to know what that something is? You want to know what happens? Well keep reading and find out. (I recommend reading Blinding Darkness first or else you'll be confused.)

My Immortal Series - Serendipity
Prologue - Zac Let me put this as simple as I can - there are some things in life that exists, not for pleasure or for gain, and I am one of them. But no matter how much I wished I wasn't created this way or how alone I must always choose to be, I would never have wished I had not met her. Even as I know I will pay the price dearly for knowing her, I would not exchange any moments I had with her, all her joy and all her sadness she let me feel with her. How precious is her life and how insignificant will be mine. And when it all ends, I will feel no regret. Now that that's out of the way, how could I even hoped that HEAVEN BEND...Redemption? Have I not lost my ticket on that by now? They watch my every move and predicted my inane behaviour - there is nothing worse than the compelling hands of the dying to throw one off track. A very good distraction, even I had to admit I was distracted from my situation. Problem is, I don't get to click Refresh! Damn .. And now she has seen what I have not dared to admit to myself - I care for the whispers of the dying, and for this she knows I am undecided.Complete

Reborn: The Allies of Old (Book One)
Nineteen year old Anna Preston appears to lead a life typical for a young woman in modern-day America. But she has a secret. For the past three years she's been seeing shadowy figures mingling with the populace. Made of smoke and vapor with a vaguely human form, they are not overtly threatening, but in the recesses of her mind there are whispers of nightmares long buried and forgotten. Jared is of a race created solely for the purpose of protecting humankind from demons, and for the first two centuries of life he was fully devoted to the service. Until the very ones he protected repaid him by destroying everything he ever loved. For decades Jared's hatred of humans was a living thing, but time has a way of dulling strong emotion and centuries later he is mostly indifferent. But when he learns a vial of his blood is being used in depraved activities, a long forgotten past comes hurdling back. ** Humans, Vampires, Faerians, and Shifters once banded together to fight their common enemy, but it has been many centuries since the demons presented a real threat to the world- and in these modern times most are oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond their perception and mankind has reduced both allies and enemies to fairy tales and boogie men. Signs are beginning to appear that allude to this threat rising in power once more, but with the alliances largely broken and those still continuing the fight few and far between, the human race is on the precipice of a grave danger that could threaten their very existence. And so it is of dire need for the allies to gather together once more. Ancient prophesies will soon begin to surface, one in particular that speaks of a unifying force initiated by the unlikeliest of beings...Complete
