The 20s are back and the Prohibition is in full effect. Only this time the only spirits that are being outlawed isn't alcohol - it's powerful potions, endangered magical creatures and living souls being confined into bottles.
These illicit spirits are coveted by criminal organizations that want to take over the underworld. One dangerous concoction could decimate an entire city to oblivion. Some of these spirits can be used to power engines, regenerate the tissue of a cadaver or make someone glow like a firefly, but the most dangerous of them all is to use the vessel of an imprisoned spirit to use mind control.
Aster Rhodes was just a homeless lad who travelled across the states playing an old violin in the park when he got discovered by Daisy Ray. The young violinist has a penchant for bad poetry and soliloquys though it didn't deter the widow from introducing Aster to the frontman of the once-nomadic band called the Daisy Dukes - Darrell "Zib" Zibulon aka the Dandy Lion.
After passing the rehearsal, the real head honcho of the speakeasy, Blaise Ray shows Aster the ropes of the business operates, though he didn't know the real extent of what his job would entail after the owner of the Dandelion speakeasy gets murdered one night.
The business starts to sink and the only way to keep it afloat is to procure the illicits spirits, no one else is willing to take the risk to go bootlegging except for Aster, and Blaise's goddaughter - Ivy Taylor.

(YEAR 4) Bea Weasley & Ghosts Of The Past
The Triwizard Tournament has returned to Hogwarts, bringing danger, excitement, and an air of uncertainty to the castle. For Beatrice "Bea" Weasley, a Slytherin among Gryffindors, the tournament is the least of her concerns. She has spent years chasing the ghosts of a past she barely remembers, searching for answers about her parents' murder-answers that always seem just out of reach. But this year, everything changes. As Bea digs deeper into the mystery surrounding Cassius Rowle, whispers of dark secrets begin to surface-secrets tied to one of the most powerful pure-blood families in the Wizarding World. The more she uncovers, the more dangerous her search becomes. With her best friends Draco Malfoy and Rayne Lestrange by her side, and Blaise Zabini watching her every move with sharp-eyed amusement, Bea finds herself walking a thin line between ambition and obsession. And then there's Blaise-maddening, insufferable, and impossibly charming. The one person who seems to understand her spiraling mind better than she does. The one person she swore she wouldn't let in. As the Yule Ball approaches, alliances shift, tensions rise, and Bea realizes that the Triwizard Tournament isn't the only game being played at Hogwarts. There are bigger stakes, hidden players, and a past that refuses to stay buried. This year, the flames of the Goblet won't be the only thing burning. Dark secrets. Deadly choices. And a Slytherin girl who refuses to back down.Complete
Dead!
When Ivy Livingston woke up on a normal Wednesday morning in November, she didn't know that was the last time she would see her little sister, her cat, or her best friend Chloe. She had no idea that Anthony Wilson, the freak that she had been bullying since middle school, would bring his father's rifle to school and kill Ivy and four of her classmates before pressing the gun to his own skull. And she definitely couldn't predict that the afterlife was no more than a simple waiting room, where she would wait while the Celestial Bureaucracy decided whether she would go to Heaven or Hell. Ivy already knows that this isn't going to be easy. She's a borderline case, so it might take a while for the panel of judges to make their decision. She just hopes that she doesn't end up like that guy who's still waiting for his number to be called after two hundred years. However, as Ivy begins to make friends with a hockey lover and a girl who was so emo that she fell apart, she begins to think that maybe, just maybe, she can redeem herself. 2nd Place in Teen Fiction in the Whirlwind Awards. 3rd Place in Teen Fiction in the Mystique Awards and in the Prism Awards.

Because I Love You✔️
They say love conquers all. His shattered the fabric of reality and began a world-altering change that would eventually shift the concept of life and death forever. 🌺💛👑💛🌺 Phil wasn't exactly the best at being the boy-next-door. Shy, clumsy, and highly insecure with his life as a whole - he was the complete opposite of his girlfriend, a bubbly nerd named Ella. But like Yin and Yang, the two of them were inseparable... at least, until the night of Ella's sixteenth birthday, when she died in his arms after an unexpected shooting. Traumatized and blinded by grief, Phil took his own life only three months later on his seventeenth birthday, but instead of finding his much-expected peace in the afterlife, he somehow ended up on a parallel world called Atlas as an almost monstrous-looking version of himself. Trapped in the kingdom of Aerika, a bizarre place chock full of things like magic, elves, orcs, demons, faeries, squirrel-riding women, assassins, a tyrannical hierarchy, and everything else under the sun, he finds himself very confused and depressed. But before he can begin to make sense of anything, he's captured and caged like an animal by a ruthless girl who looks and sounds exactly like his late girlfriend. Is this his own, personal hell? Or is it a second chance? And if it is a second chance... does he even want to take it? (Highest Ranking - #8 in Fantasy!!!!! ❤) (TRAILER INSIDE) Copyright © by Aaron Ledgers.

Set in post-apocalyptic America, a witch orphaned from her deceased family seeks refuge at a whorehouse in order to escape starvation. ***** Ivy Tate has her whole life ahead of her but nothing to live for. The earth has been spewing its guts for years and her clan didn't survive it. The only upside? She's a witch. But contrary to popular opinion, magic can't always save lives. With the threat of a slow, hungry death hanging over her head, she falls into strange company; a band of misfits who have found their own way to survive. Ivy is offered clean clothes, a real bed, and food that doesn't run away. But she quickly realizes the price for luxuries is high, like sell-your-soul high, and she must decide if survival is worth the trade. BLOOMER [Book 1] is an off-the-beaten path tale about a young woman coming of age in a world that is falling apart.

And a runaway with a mysterious past plays the most enchanting piano during the evenings. Detective Maka Albarn reluctantly takes the case of a woman's murder in a neighboring city. It's prohibition in Death City and conflict simmers beneath the surface. After hitting a wall, a preaching "shadow-in-the-night" leads her to the underground bar, "The Black Room". Set in a world without Meisters or Weapons, magic-less yet still-bizarre Death City meets 1920s prohibition.

Alliances | Slytherin Boys
They were raised to be perfect. They chose to be dangerous. Blair Blackwood never expected to return to England, let alone the sprawling Blackwood estate or the ancient corridors of Hogwarts. But when old pureblood ties call, she and her three closest friends-Cassie Carrington, Mia Montague, and Lea Lockwood-are thrust back into a world of tradition, secrets, and expectations. Trained to charm, raised to rule, and bonded since birth, the girls know how to navigate power. But things have changed. The Slytherin boys have grown up too. Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Mattheo Berkshire and Theodore Nott - heirs to legacy, danger, and something far more twisted - aren't just playing the social game. They're watching, waiting, and hiding secrets of their own. As balls, strange dreams, and whispered warnings begin to unravel the line between duty and desire, the girls must decide who they can trust in a world where nothing is as it seems. Old magic is stirring. And the Slytherins? They never play fair. (Read the warnings in the first chapter, please.)
Confessions of a Queen Bee
STORY 1 Ivy James loved being top of the school; she could click her fingers and get anyone to fulfill whatever her heart desired. She was happy enough with her equal, top jock, bad boy boyfriend, and there was nobody that could bring them down. Apart from a tiny rumor that people had seen Ivy and her boyfriend's best friend going into a room together at a party. What nobody knows is the evil that happened that night and the ways in which the queen bee's life changed accordingly. Trying to navigate the aftershocks of assault, Ivy captures the interest of another member of the 'golden group'. He is fascinated by her and the way she acts around people. And before they both know it, not only are they navigating their own secrets, they find themselves engulfed in each other.
