Loving my vampire professor by ang3lsmut

"You're so special to me, Miss King." "Wh-what does that mean... why are you everywhere?" "Because I need you. I need you like air. Just a taste..." - Elena King is the talk of the town - not for who she is, but for where she comes from. Her father is a day-drunk disaster, her mother is emotionally absent, and their crumbling house holds more silence than love. Every day, Elena dreams of escape. A new start. A new life. Then school begins - and with it, a new face. The young professor is far too charming, too intense, too... wrong. Elena can't pin down what's off about him, only that he watches her like he already knows her. Like he's been watching. When she uncovers the truth - about the town, her family, and herself - Elena realizes she's at the center of something ancient, buried, and hungry. The kind of secret that doesn't just threaten her life... It craves her blood.

The Nightmare Society by cassreads

Spencer Nyxwell doesn't fit anywhere. Not in Ashthorne, not in public school, not even in her own skin. She's a witch with powers she can't control and a bloodline her mother refuses to explain. When her temper sets her principal's car on fire, she's sent to Nightwell Academy, a school where monsters, witches, and outcasts are locked away from the rest of the world. Nightwell is supposed to keep her safe. Instead, it drags her straight into a nightmare. Students vanish. A portal splits open in the woods. Spencer rips a seventh grader out of a world that feeds on fear, only to discover her own father might be trapped inside it. The Society swears they're protecting the school from the Nightmare World. Their leader, Jake, wants her to join them. But their power feels more like worship than sacrifice, and the closer she gets, the more the shadows crawl.

Red Rover | gxg | Wattys 2023 Winner | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.
