A girl who sees ghosts. A magic out of control. A group hellbent on destroying what they're afraid of.
Maddie Johnson is sent to a mental institution because she talks to people who aren't there. She insists that they're ghosts. Just as she thinks she's convinced the doctors that she is fine, a dark-haired ghost with dreamy brown eyes rushes in and ruins everything.
Instead of going home, she is sent to a halfway house that helps people with mental illness assimilate back into society. Problem is, one of the residents hates her and the house is haunted - oh, and the cute ghost has followed her. Maddie tries to get away, but then she hurts someone using magic she didn't know she possessed. Now she has a new problem. She will have to learn to control her magic.
She discovers that the town has secrets; people are going missing. How far are people willing to go to destroy what they are afraid of? Maddie and her attractive-but-annoying spirit might just find out first-hand.
FIRE AND MAGIC is an exciting first book in the Jadori Series that will transport romantasy fans to a fascinating world that exists within our own, filled with suspense, danger, magic, ghosts, and romance.

Lore Gothica EN
A fantastic chain of events draws Sara-a seemingly ordinary corporate worker-into a hidden world of vampires, magic, and ancient rituals. It's a story set right beside our everyday lives, yet one that defies all conventions. Throughout this novel, I pose questions that I hope will stay with you, waiting for your own answers: Where does care end, and manipulation begin? Can relationships with more than one person remain genuine and honest? Is it possible to live two completely different lives at once? What is destiny-and alongside it, does free will truly exist? And finally: is eternity a blessing, or a curse? This is a romance in which intimacy plays a vital role-not as a pretext, but as a language of closeness, desire, and truth about the characters themselves. I wouldn't call it "smut," though it does include vivid, intense scenes of passion. If these questions intrigue you, and if you enjoy stories where magic intertwines with the everyday, I warmly invite you to read along. New parts are released every Saturday evening. LL

Magic is real. Ghosts are real. Eva Booker deals with the consequences as she always does. Having turned away from her criminal life at long last, Eva is starting with a clean slate in the small California town of Santa Margarita Cortona, along with her twin brother and a surprise niece. It's a decent life, even though the mistakes of her past have her scanning for threats all the time. But when her boss's young son drowns under mysterious circumstances, paranormal forces threaten to tear her fragile peace apart. Again. It can't be a coincidence that the Cult of La Llorona has come to town. Desperate to uncover the truth and protect her niece from becoming next in a line of missing children, Eva grudgingly reaches out to the only people who can help: her old acquaintances, celebrity paranormal investigator couple Nathan and Jamie, who helped countless people with their supernatural troubles in their hit web series Witchcraft Wednesday Investigations. Problem is, Nathan and Jamie left their series behind - for cushy jobs, a life of wealth and fame, and possibly some stupid secret reason they stubbornly refuse to share. And Eva setting up an investigation with them is bound to reopen years-old wounds on all sides. Forced together by tragic circumstances, Eva, Nathan and Jamie face a suspicious cult, the wicked weeping spirit it worships, and the many past and present grievances threatening their search for a killer.
