Deals with the devil are always tricky, especially when it was someone else who sold your soul to the devil. 

Faye Wulfgaar has always had bad luck. She figured it worked like a genetic trait: red hair, shy,  conscientious, and unlucky. 

She never thought she might be cursed.

But when her family moves back to the small town where she was born, a string of dark occurrences begin to make it clear that she does not know herself and her origins half as much as she ought--but others certainly do. As girls her age disappear into the Potomah Forest, they most often turn up again dead--if they turn up at all. Something prowls the Potomah woods, and it is seeking her.

Faye must uncover the truth of her family's legacy and her own powers before her curse and the Potomah Killer catches up to her.

Because what you don't know can always hurt you.

The Five Cursed Witches: Volume 4 - Mirai, the Witch of Sight by High_Priestess_Elena
59 parts Ongoing Mature
Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (ongoing) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

Light in a Storm

62 parts Complete Mature

A sequel to Hannah and her Happy Harem, however Hannah is not required reading before reading this story. Light in a Storm is a stand alone book. Also it is very very different from Hannah. Adult themes, no smut. Cassi, Penny, Pandora, and Lumi are four sisters being raised by five loving parents. Cassi is a dragon like their father Caspian, Penny and Pandora are both wolf shifter's like their dads Max and Holland. Lumi however, didn't take after any of her parents. Aspen was Fae, and Lumi was Fae. Except where Aspen's element was the forest and green magic, Lumi had somehow been born as the very first electrical Fae with unknown powers. It isn't easy being the only one of your kind in the world. Lumi and all her sisters face unique challenges as they grow, some able to handle the path fate had set for them easier than others. Cassi, Penny, Pandora, and Lumi grow up and each has their own challenges to face. Lumi had been living a simple quiet life, until Cassi pulls Lumi into one of her own schemes. All Lumi had wanted was to help her sister, and see some of the wider world outside her pack. Instead she got much more than she bargained for.
