"Would you defy your own pride and help one you've sworn to defeat?"
Orphelia Grave thought teaching at Grimm Academy, a simple mission, would be a fresh start. She would basically just be a guard for goodness' sake! But when a deadly secret emerges-her very existence as a ghost-everything begins to unravel. As she walks the line between the living and the dead, Orphelia must use her spectral powers to protect both worlds. Yet, danger looms closer than ever, especially when she finds herself drawn to the academy's enigmatic hunting teacher, a woman with shadows of her own.
Secrets will surface. Loyalties will be tested. And in the pages of this journal, the truth will be revealed.
Enter the haunting tale of Shadows of a Friend.

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete

And when I mean 'interesting people' I mean what humans call 'bullies'. But one of them was most interesting out of the bunch. In other words, he keeps eyeing me.Complete

Dead Roses (Obsidian Academy #1)- On Pause
As a Necromancer, the life of Viola Rosewell was anything but normal. Communicating with the dead is one thing, but trying to keep them out of trouble while solving their problems was a whole new challenge most will be happy to decline. But Viola has always been a fan of challenges, especially if they involved death. When the Headmistress of a famous academy for the supernatural creatures reaches out to her with a job offer, Viola immediately jumps in to accept her request. Applying as a student to a school with students who are vicious, competitive, murderous creatures to find a killer who likes to suck the spirits of their victims? That sounds like something she would enjoy. But dark magic is not welcomed among most supernatural, and the students in the school are no exception. Add in your typical bullies, scary teachers, and a group of four male students and one teacher who take a special interest in Viola. Perhaps dead people would make a better company. *This is a reverse harem series.* -Currently on pause-
