Funeral director Mia Flannagan guards a deadly secret: she's a vampire. For centuries, she's survived by hiding in plain sight, keeping her community at arm's length to protect the identity she despises.

But when the ghost of an elderly woman leads her to Liam, a wounded stranger with secrets of his own, Mia's decision to save him puts her in the crosshairs of a bounty hunter who'll stop at nothing to kill his prey-even if it means putting a stake through Mia's heart!

Bleeding Rose | Kol Mikaelson by Fates-of-the-Damned

The Roseblood Clan. Three thousand years worth of magic cursing through their people's blood. Long before the Bennetts, before the Travellers, The Other Side and the Ancestors, there had been the Roseblood clan. Witches forged from the dying breath of a dragon in the centre of Scotland. The blood of the dragon was the legacy of their people. Yet, stories and history could be twisted by the victors of the many battles that had plagued the clan. A war between kin had destroyed the legacy of the Roseblood Clan. After a thousand years, their rule of magic had come to a halt. For over two thousand years, a story had been spun. The story of the evil siphoner. The abomination that had ruined their line. Yet, the truth loomed, threatening to reveal the true reason as to why siphoners existed. What their true purpose was. Were they abominations, the bastards of the magical world or were they meant to take power from those undeserving to ensure it was not misused? Only the victor of the battle gets to tell the tale. Athena Flora Roseblood was far from a victor. Being a firstborn Roseblood had cursed her like many others before her. Firstborn women in their line were not meant to meet their first breath of air, they were destined to die, to be sacrificed within the womb to help empower their coven, yet for the first time in two thousand years, a firstborn woman had come screaming into the world. Athena was never been meant to be born. Her blood haunted her from the second she took her first breath, her house divided thanks to thousands of years of lies. Lies that may never come to the light of day. Fear was a powerful totem and after two thousand years of lies, it left Athena trapped within the cage created for her. The abomination, the bastard of nature, the Roseblood Siphoner. Nothing to the world but a mistake and a monster.

A Host of Fallen Dreams - After the Rising Book 1 by sammiscribbles

...if you enjoyed living...if you wished to hold on to power as well as your life, you turned your attention elsewhere and did your best to forget about The Temple in The Grove. * * * What do a tarot reader, a violinist, a schoolboy and a detective all have in common? They are all trying to make a life for themselves after The Rising. But it's not easy. Three of them are on the wrong side of the authorities. One's a prisoner. One's on the run. One's leading the resistance. And the other one? He works for the authorities. It's his job to find two of them, and as for the third...she might be locked up, but her heart is proving to be the most elusive out of the lot. And that's not all. A Time of Mirroring approaches, according to The Temple in The Grove. Who doesn't like a prophecy? Well, a lot of people aren't going to like this one. A Host of Fallen Dreams is a dystopian fantasy where ancient spirituality and the modern world meet but don't mingle. Not yet, at any rate...

A Bisexual Story (BoyxBoyxGirl) by DerreckSanchez

EDITING!! The heart is going to want what it wants. No and's but's or if's. Nikita is a gal that has the super model status even though she's still in high school. She is the most popular girl in school that every guy (and some girls) want. She loves the mornings and boy bands! Blake is a guy that pretty much likes to stick to himself and he's gay! He perfers the night for when things are quiet enough for him to think. Kind of shy but mostly just quiet. He's not that popular with enough friends to count on one hand. So what is the mold that holds these two together? Well, there's a guy named Sean and he's openly bisexual. He also dates Nikita and Blake at the same time! Where as Nikita and Blake are about as different as the sun and the moon. Talk about having the best of both worlds. Throw in Blake's hot cousin Matt and other cousin Skylar that is really spunky. Then of course Sean's best friend Jamie that everyone wants. This could be a handful.

The Defiance Of Anneliese by pensnprose

Anneliese Grimstone was born to be sacrificed. Promised to a vampire lord she's never met, she breaks the rules, runs away... and pays the price. Betrayed and dragged back, she's made a prisoner of Lord Azarius Ashgrave, the cold, powerful ruler feared by all. He needs her powers. Her family demands her obedience. In a world of lies, power, and obsession, defying him might cost her everything, including her heart.

The Ghosts by SCCourtney

My mother always told me when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When someone knocks you down, you get right back up. You fight the good fight until you have nothing left. You fight with honor, you protect the ones you love, and if you just happen to die in the process, than you do so with dignity and grace. What my mother neglected to tell me during my studies was that you don't always get what you want, the outcome you think is coming doesn't always happen, and when the smoke clears, you're always going to be the last one standing. By the end of The Certainty, Georgiana Vertigo is left with nothing more than her life, something many people would be more than happy to have. However, Georgiana is left to her own devices in a strange city, alone and heartbroken with regular intense bouts of depression. In starting a new life with the Guild, Georgiana has everything she needs in order to move on with her life and keep her mind off the past. Only problem is, the past is never truly forgotten and no matter how hard you try to shake them, the feelings that go along with the memories don't just fade away. ~ * ~ Alright, chickens. You asked for it (some of you at least) and here it is...well...part of it. Like I've told a few of you, this is a work in progress. I add pieces to it when I think of them. The posting on this story will NOT be regular but thankfully for you, I have quite a bit of it done. I just haven't decided if the path I take it down is the right one. So. I hope you enjoy it and I will give you a forewarning that as the story progresses, it gets a bit more adult. For those of us just joining the party because they stumbled across it in the Paranormal category, there is a whole series of books you have to read until you get to this one. Go start with The Beginning. You can find it under "My Works" on my home page.
