Elaine spends most of her time in her father's room, listening to the hum of the heater and the rasp of her father's breathing. When she's not there she's looking for jobs, searching desperately for someone who would let her work the flexible hours she needs to take care of her sickly dad. 

On her way home, exhausted after another botched job interview, she stops at the Misty Misto. A coffee shop that she's never seen before, open only at night. What could go wrong? 

Cleo detests his aunt and everything she forces upon him. He is a warlock, hundreds of years old, but he still gets stuck in the middle of petty politicking. When your aunt is the president of Aestra, the capital of magical beings, it happens. He prefers to stay in Lichee, high with the mermaids and the sprites, or at work, baking pastries and brewing coffee.  But when his cousin's life is put at risk, Cleo is thrown back into the middle of something he thought he had left behind two-hundred-seventy years ago.All Rights Reserved

Mosh Pit Mocha by ItsRose2U

There's a coffee shop at the edge of Verrinvale - tucked between a hardware store and a strip mall full of normal lives. Its windows are always fogged, the lights never quite steady, and the scent of dragonsblood incense lingers long after closing. Nineteen-year-old Jaxx, a loud, green sergal with a knack for caffeine and chaos, breaks into the abandoned café one summer and decides to rebuild it - not for profit, but for belonging. What starts as rebellion becomes a resurrection. Then there's Darby - pink-furred, curious, and too soft for the world that keeps asking her to be far more simple than she is. She walks in one day, drawn by rumor and noise, and finds not a freak or a killer, but someone who speaks her language in silence. Together, they turn the ruin into a haven for Verrinvale's outcasts - a place where the lonely, the loud, and the strange can finally exhale. And sometimes, when the lights dim and the music fades, a quiet visitor known only as The Doe sits by the window, watching. Some say the café sits on a leyline - that it amplifies emotion, draws in the lost. Jaxx doesn't believe in that kind of magic. Until it starts believing in him.

Obsessed for a child by mariesian

Cleo, a 19-year-old with a simple and routine life, has always avoided distractions. Her days revolve around work, eating, and sleep, leaving no time for friends, fun, or adventure. But when her best friend Lucy finally convinces her to step out of her comfort zone for just one night, Cleo reluctantly agrees, unaware that this decision will alter her life forever. That night, Cleo meets a man unlike anyone she's ever encountered-a man who captivates her in ways she didn't think possible. But what starts as intrigue soon spirals into a nightmare she couldn't have imagined in her worst dreams. Caught in a web of lies, manipulation, and forced submission, Cleo faces dangers no one should ever endure. Her struggle to reclaim her freedom will test her resilience, courage, and trust in herself. **Warning:** This story contains mature themes, including kidnapping and non-consensual acts, that may be triggering for some readers.

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.

Dead Wrong by auronautic

Soren never asked to be the only faerie on campus who can see ghosts. Because honestly? It's kind of a nightmare. Between dodging chatty spirits in the hallways, and constantly being late because some 200-year-old ghost will not move from the dorm entrance, Soren has enough problems. And after Soren loses his protective charm, things get worse. The ghosts aren't just harmless annoyances anymore. Some of them are dangerous. The shadows are getting darker, the spirits are getting hungrier, and Soren is seeing things that no faerie should ever be able to see. Soren would love to focus on literally anything else, like figuring out how to make a certain angel fall in love with him or passing his exams, but first? He needs to fix this before he ends up as just another ghost on campus.

A Clove of Fates by YoItsYeau

BOOK ONE OF THE BINDING TRILOGY CURRENTLY UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION! Some big changes are likely being made while you are reading, and you might miss them. *** Jarelis had always known magic was evil and had stayed when her sister, Elke, had left for the bolstering magical center that was the city of Musteri. But when Jarelis receives a distressing cry for help from her sister, she embarks into the city to petition the god who whisked her away. They strike a deal: her sister's life in return for that of Princess Ifera, the Chosen Enchantress. Ifera is convinced that her father chose wrong when he chose her to rule over Musteri. For one thing, the magical talisman that she's supposed to use to legitimize her authority doesn't seem to want to work for her. She knew that her inability to use magic of her own made her vulnerable, susceptible even to desperate, but also reasonably attractive, farm girls. Only when Jarelis tries to kill her, she realizes she can't. Not without rendering herself dead in the process. If Jarelis wants to kill her, she has to seek out a way to unbind their souls. And if Ifera wants to escape her, she has to find a way to activate her talisman. Only neither of them are quite sure that's what they want anymore, and every second they waste Elke falls deeper into The God of Charms's grasp. *** #1 in LGBT 4/22/2020

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.
