I thought I could trust the vampires around me.
But the lies seem endless.
 
I thought I could believe my family had my back.
But the secrets seem constant.
 
The demons from my past and the ones in my future will always shadow my life. Always there to remind me that I am not worthy of anything more than I am given.
 
But maybe there might be hope for me yet. It seems impossible, but all I have to do is protect those I love. If I don't, I'll have only my demons for company.
Forced to flee London, Roman struggles with what lies ahead of him. Permanently returning to his ancestral home was never on his agenda, not when the past lurks around every corner.
 
His father has goals, even though Roman wants no part of the plan. Determined to get his way, Lewis lays down a serious threat, leaving Roman to question his father's motives.
 
Backed into a corner, Roman can see everything collapsing around him. The demons are taking hold of him, whispering that it is only inevitable that he will be forced into a situation that is far from what he wants.
 
All Roman has to do is figure out what his father is up to, get those he loves to somewhere far away from his ancestral home, and defeat the demons in his mind. The plan for the future is set but there is just one problem that pops up, determined to make Roman suffer all over again.

~ It is by Mene's word that new age has been born, a new world ~ Ezekiel Ruiz was unwillingly stuck between two worlds. He was a wild and that was where he found the most comfort, lost in the darkness while his wolf took over. But Amelia's Blessing had his wolf barring the darkness from him, refusing him his familiar comfort, the compulsion to find the viper he mated to screaming without the pain to drown it out. At times he felt like the blessing was a curse. ~ Change is always hard, and it is in our nature as wolves to fight it ~ Julieta Esperanza Valentina Cruz had always played by the rules, it was what she had been taught, it was what was fair.

Then the moon saw fit to pair her with the victor and the world showed just how unfair it could be.

Sometimes she wished Mene's love wasn't so brutal. ~ But Mene guides us in our lives, listen to her loving whispers, she never gives us more than we can withstand ~ A singular night changes everything. Ezekiel makes a choice that topples his world into the clinging dredges of the past and Julieta comes face to face with a male she had once had a foolish little crush on what feels like lifetimes ago. However as they navigate the treacherous waters they have been flung into, they both learn that home is not a simple place, it's where you make it, and who you make it with. ~ You will reach your destiny, Mene wills it. ~
F*ck Me (Modern Cliches, #2) by AMLKoski
24 parts Complete
Book Two in the Modern Cliches series ~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey there, my name is Ethel Bethany Linde. I am your perfectly prudish, average twenty-five year old girl. The only thing I am above average in is the fact I made it to twenty-five while still being a virgin. Yes, I managed to make it through my hormone fuelled teen years and college years with my virginity in tact. Although not for lack of trying on my part. So with that prudish exterior, I have absolutely no fucking clue how to explain or count for the fact I lost my virginity to an Incubus who was summoned to torture and kill me, via sex. Which according to some ancient demon law means we are practically married in the (un)holy eyes of Hell. Yes, by some unholy, cosmic act of fuckery, I accidentally married a fucking demon. Thankfully, Mazvahr (Maz for short), was just as enthused as I was and we set upon a mission to find the man who summoned an unholy Incubus to do the dirty deed, in more ways than one, and kill him. Stuck next to a powerful demon, who requires sex to charge him up and has a super weird rope fetish, to hunt down the asshole who did this to me, all I can say is: F*ck me.
