Life in Shadows by K.S. Todd
Ivy's life is one of quiet routine-college classes, late-night shifts, and taking care of her Irish wolfhound, Mazz. But the shadows of her dreams refuse to stay confined to the night. Whispers of a forgotten past and flashes of memories she's never lived begin to bleed into her waking world, stirring an unease she can't explain.
When a chance encounter with three mysterious strangers-Kane, Gage, and Mason-leads her deeper into a web of uncanny familiarity, Ivy discovers there's more to her world than she ever imagined. Each man unlocks fragments of a life she might have lived, a bond forged in trust, danger, and something deeper. But the further she is drawn into the echoes of her past, the more the shadows of her reality begin to unravel.
Haunted by the feeling of being watched and plagued by memories of battles fought in realms she doesn't remember, Ivy must confront the truth: her life in the shadows is not just a metaphor-it's a reality, one that threatens to consume her if she doesn't uncover its secrets.
Who can she trust when the lines between past and present blur? What will she discover about herself when the light finally pierces the shadows? And will she have the courage to face the life waiting for her in the dark?
Life in Shadows is an enthralling journey through mystery, magic, and memory, blending romance, suspense, and a touch of the supernatural. Dive into a story where the past is never truly gone, and the shadows hold more than just secrets.

The Last Phoenix (book 1)
Ren is a quiet teen in a small New Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy. As Ren struggles to control fire, wings and teleportation, strange phenomena - frozen lakes in summer, earthquakes that seem to think - signal that the world is unraveling. Ancient enemies known as the Shadows of the Eclipse feed on chaos and are awakening. Torn between hiding in his hoodie and facing a destiny he never wanted, Ren must decide who he is, what he will fight for and whether to trust the boy who's always been by his side. This isn't a fairytale. It's messy, queer, and sometimes heartbreaking. But if you're into mythic fantasy with real feelings, and a protagonist who literally sets himself on fire to save the world, jump in. The world's last Phoenix is a boy, and he's just getting started.Concluida

Chasing shadows
I wrote this book to show the different struggles of being a teenager today school, sports, friendships, crushes, and the constant pressure to fit in. But beneath all that, I wanted to dig into something deeper: how easily a good person can be corrupted by their own mind, and how the fight against yourself can be the hardest battle of all. For Henry, Year 7 should have been simple. But when he begins seeing a shadowy figure that no one else can, his life twists into a maze of fear, blackouts, and broken memories. The voice in his head pushes him closer to chaos, tempting him with promises of power while feeding on his darkest doubts. As his friendships fracture and his sense of self unravels, Henry discovers just how fragile the line is between light and darkness, between who you are and what you could become. Chasing Shadows is more than just a story about surviving school it's a raw, emotional exploration of growing up, mental health, and the invisible battles young people fight every day. It's about friendship, fear, obsession, and the terrifying reality of what can happen when the mind turns against itself.Concluida

The Quiet Between Us
Ivy Raines is a contradiction wrapped in smoke and velvet - witchcraft in her veins, heartbreak on her tongue. She's spent years trying to rebuild herself after burning her past to the ground... but one ghost keeps crawling back through the cracks. Nathaniel Cole. The boy she loved, destroyed, and made into a man who still trembles at her name. He was her first believer - her confession, her temptation, her undoing. She took his virginity, his faith, and his peace of mind, leaving him with nothing but guilt and memory of her touch. Now, years later, they talk like friends. They smoke, they laugh, they pretend. But the air between them still hums with electricity - an unspoken promise neither of them can stop breaking. Ivy wants redemption. She wants to be more than the sin he hides in the dark. Nathaniel wants her body, her defiance, her chaos - everything but her heart. Their connection is a slow burn of obsession, guilt, and hunger - a love that feels like worship and punishment all at once. Each cigarette, each stolen glance, each whispered word threatens to pull them back into the fire they swore they'd never touch again. But desire is a religion. And they've always been devout.Concluida
