Iris never expected her life to be turned upside down. But when her dad and his best friend go missing in Crimson Pass, and officials won't let anyone in, she knows something is wrong. She and her boyfriend, Holden decide to find out what it is. Her brother tries to talk her out of it until someone sends one of their Dad's greatest treasures to her caked with blood, and leaves it on their front porch.
Iris finds out that her family history is littered with secrets, that vampires exist, and worse? They have her Dad and his friend. It's up to her and Holden to discover a way to save them. A mysterious boy claiming to be her Dad's friend will lead them to where they need to go, and she is underprepared for who she finds there.
For this sixteen-year-old, everything is about to change. She's about to embark on the fight of her life to save the lives of those she loves. Will she succeed? Or will a new breed of vampire sink her teeth into her loved ones first?

His FireLily - (Shadowed Secrets #2)
Carissa Belfiore's mission was simple; hunt down the man terrorising her city and burn his syndicate's web of deceptions to the ground. The catch though? She must work together with the devil in disguise. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 Four months after the trail went dark, Cara and her team gain a second chance at retribution, at tracking down the man responsible for the mysterious chain of disappearances plaguing the streets of her town. Retribution, though, comes at a cost. Missing people and stolen identities unsolved, Cara's boss presents to her with a new ultimatum. She must pursue this mission with Asrea's top (infuriating) agent or lose the rights to the case. With no other choice, Cara must learn to thread the thin line of peace with the devil disguised as a federal agent, one who has little belief in patience and even less so for mistakes. Much like everything else though, it was easier said than done. As the two of them begin to dismantle the empire brick by brick, Cara finds herself pulling at loose strings tying the pieces of the missing puzzles connecting her past to her present. Strings, she soon realises, had been buried by the hands of someone desperately trying to keep her from finding out the truth. A truth that might just break her. No retrogrades, no reversals, and no unknowing the known. If only she could've done it alone, for even the devil must be paid his dues. The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence. The man whose icy rage threatens to thaw her blazing heart. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 First Draft Completed on 12/1/2025 Completed on 12/3/2025Complete

Stained
Millicent, or Millie as she is called, is a vampire hiding in the living world of the early twenty first century. She blends in with the human world. She has a job in antiques and even has a human roommate, Patrick. But life, or death in her case, isn't all it's cracked up to be. Her vampire world is messy and humans, including Patrick, can't understand. When Patrick gets sick and her past resurfaces, Millie must take control of the ride to prevent her life from running straight of the rails. (¯'·.¸¸.-> °º º° <-.¸¸.·´¯) "Millie opens the front door and shields her eyes from the glare of the sun. Every day, it feels as though she has a hangover went she greets it in the morning. It would help, though, if she would remember to put her dark sunglasses on first. Nevertheless, she always forgets. She pulls them out of her pocket and slips them on. She takes a step outside in to the living world. As she steps outside she closes the door behind her. She straightens her black leather jacket before placing her hands in her purple high waisted jeans. A sweet and familiar iron scent fills Millie's nose. She feels pressure in her gums and a gnawing at her stomach. She looks left across the street. A small child has already fallen off his bike and has scrapped his knee. The little ones always like to taunt me with their easily spilled blood." 25,254 1. (5/18/2014)-(8/3/2014)Complete

THE MYSTERY DREAMER
[# 88 in TEEN FICTION on 14/3/18.] [#5 in angerissues on 10/05/2018] COMPLETED!!! No matter where you come from, your dreams are always valid. RULE 1: Never let anyone under estimate the power of your dreams. RULE 2: Always follow rule one. These were the only principles little Ria lived by. Her devoting and protective nature always came out as harsh and bitch-y. Everytime she felt threatened, her claws came out, ready to defend...to destroy. It's only you who knows the value of your dreams. So, what will she do when her exterminator walks into her life, ready to ruin everything she lives for. She fight's. A fight between two souls. ________________________________ "Who do you think you are?" she asked, bravery seeping through every syllable leaving her mouth. A devil carves fear, and when you don't give him that, he is agitated. "Your nightmare baby." he smirked as he leaned closer to her. They say never look into his eyes...he is evil. Don't cross paths with him...he is unforgiving. Never challenge him...he is destructive. But what did she do??? Every damn thing she wasn't supposed to! Add a punch to the already shaky equation and you'll find yourself amidst drama...teenage drama. Is it right to let these two souls collide? "I am not your damn servant whom you order around, get that straight through your thick skull!" with that she walked away like a pro if I may say so...leaving him staring at the place where she previously stood. When an ego is hurt, revenge is born. "Come on guys. . .we need to sort out some things," all his friends could do was watch; watch helplessly, as destruction planted it's ugly claws into their lives. A tale of destruction, misery, loyalty, friendship, trust and betrayal. "If you call yourself a dreamer, I call myself a dream-snatcher. You won't even know what hit you, little girl," he thought, as he smirked wickedly at her retreating figure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Has mild cursing be warned!Complete
