Dinx Maura is an unassuming girl who, despite her simplicity, evokes an inexplicable fear in those around her. Even a mere glance from her direction sends shivers down their spines, as if a shadow has crossed their hearts. However, the Dinx they see now is a stark contrast to the vibrant, hopeful child she once was. A dark and harrowing event shattered her innocence, a moment that marked the beginning of a profound transformation-awakening a powerful force deep within her that would forever change her destiny.

As the whispers of her tragic past circulate through the town like a chilling wind, Dinx finds herself wrestling with her harrowing new reality. The memories of what she once cherished clash with the fearsome reputation she has unknowingly cultivated, leading her to a lonely existence where trust is a rare commodity. Each day, she navigates a treacherous landscape, where danger lurks in every shadow and friends turn into foes at the mere mention of her name.

But within her, a flicker of hope remains-an yearning to reclaim her true self, to reconnect with the girl who dreamed of brighter futures and boundless possibilities. Dinx is torn between two paths: to embrace the darkness that has given her such formidable powers for the sake of protection, or to seek a way to channel her abilities for good, breaking free from the cycle of fear that binds her.

As the townspeople's dread intensifies, will Dinx muster the courage to transform her legacy? Can she find allies in this unforgiving world, or will she forever be trapped in the shadows of her own making? The battle for her identity and the fate of those she loves hangs in the balance, as she stands at the crossroads of light and darkness, grappling with the true nature of her power and the kind of person she wishes to become.

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter
94 parts Complete Mature
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.
