Nora has always been Maeve's shadow, content to linger on the edges of her vibrant, sunlit world. While Maeve laughs with friends and kisses her boyfriend under the stars, Nora's love for her remains a quiet, unspoken ache. Maeve is everything Nora could ever want-beautiful, kind, and completely unaware of how much she means to her.
But Maeve has been hurt before. Cruel classmates, toxic exes, and so-called friends have chipped away at her joy, leaving scars only Nora seems to notice. It's unbearable. And so, Nora begins to take matters into her own hands.
One by one, the people who've wronged Maeve begin to vanish or meet brutal fates. She's meticulous, calculated, and utterly devoted. For her, it's not murder-it's justice.
As Maeve grieves the tragedies around her, Nora remains the perfect best friend, offering a shoulder to cry on while hiding bloodstained hands. But when the truth finally surfaces, Maeve must confront the horrifying realization of what Nora has done-and why.
Crimson Crest is a haunting, darkly intimate thriller that delves into the twisted depths of love, obsession, and the blurred lines between protection and possession.

Grim Echoes
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.Complete

"You burned me alive. And I'd walk through that fire again, just to feel your flame one more time." It wasn't fate that pulled them together. It was something far more dangerous.

He was everything she should have feared: cruel, powerful, untouchable. But his love was an inferno, and she... she stepped willingly into the flames. When their worlds collided, it wasn't just love. It was obsession. A beautiful kind of ruin. Because some hearts don't beat... They bleed. And some loves don't heal... They burn.
