A woman trapped by circumstance and a man weighed down by the pressure of his family fall in love. Froce finds a passionate painter, Kote, in Boston to secure his duty of gaining capital for his estate in disrepair. The day after their wedding, Kote's father mysteriously dies, revealing that he's left her nothing but her earned wages, the entire purpose of their unification in shambles. Yet love remains, despite Kote revealing her chronic illness and possible infertility to Froce upon this discovery, the two going forward to pursue their destiny together in England.



When they arrive back at the family estate, Kote is violently attacked by an unseen force. After recovering slowly and with Froce's gentle reassurance, the two attempt to make the crumbling estate their home while also taking care of their distraught tenants. 

Each night, Kote finds strange doors and rooms not seen during the day... ghosts and monsters lingering within the halls that wait till nightfall to terrorize her. Terrified that she is going mad, she stays quiet about her nightmares and midnight escapes into what she believes is the family estate absorbing the past family members of Froce's family. 



The sins of his past are now cursed onto her and Kote starts to question just how much she loved her husband and what she knew about him. With her chronic illness getting worse with each passing day, she has nowhere to go but the arms of her passionate husband each night, only to wake in a strange part of the estate the next morning. 



Will she find freedom and still keep the love she craves from her husband? Or is her demise fated to him, their destinies intertwined by the transgressions of ancestors generations prior?All Rights Reserved

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎ by SammyE9

[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

Séance Insomnia by v1enaa

[...] But we all knew that playing with ouija boards could be dangerous if you weren't careful. You never know what you might be inviting into your life. We didn't have to experience it first hand. We could sense it, whenever the seance begun and ended, we could tell. But months went by, and I suppose we saw it more as an entertainment. That's why we never expected what was to happen. I guess it was on us after all. Even if it wasn't for an evil cause, we still wanted to communicate with otherworldly entities, right? We wanted to build a bridge between worlds. But just as they say, beware of what you wish for, because you might just get it.

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter

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.
