In a city where darkness whispers and shadows hunger, a cursed woman lives in isolation, her touch a harbinger of death. She has spent years hiding-until she crosses paths with a man neither truly alive nor dead, a phantom bound to feed on the lifeforce of the damned.
Drawn together by fate and a dangerous pact, they seek to break the chains that bind them. But as forbidden desire ignites between them, the truth unravels-only one of them can be free. And the price of salvation may be love itself, steeped in blood and betrayal.
When destiny is written in crimson, will they fight for their freedom, or be consumed by the darkness that binds them?

Marked by the Veil by BWMcElroy
4 parts Ongoing Mature
Rachel Wren, a forensic psychologist with a fractured past, and Tom Harlow, a disgraced investigative journalist drowning in his own demons, return to Hollow Ridge, the town that almost swallowed them whole. Bound by shared trauma, buried secrets, and an undeniable hunger that has never faded, their return unearths more than just the Veilkeeper's legend-it awakens something ancient, ravenous, and watching. The Veilkeeper, an entity older than time, feeds on fear, desire, and suffering, twisting reality and ensnaring its victims in a labyrinth of nightmares. Every thirteen years, it demands blood-a sacrifice from the descendants of Hollow Ridge's founders, an offering to keep the veil between worlds from collapsing. But Rachel and Tom's return isn't coincidence. They were always meant to come back. The Veilkeeper is inside them, watching, whispering, waiting. Their bodies burn with an attraction that feels too strong to be natural-too consuming, too raw, too wrong. In the dead of night, Rachel dreams of hands brushing over her skin, breath against her throat, shadows curling around her like lovers, their touch leaving bruises. She wakes to find her body aching, as if touched by something that should not exist. Tom, unable to resist the pull of her, finds himself losing control. He watches her in ways he never did before, drawn to her pain, to the haunted look in her eyes. He knows it's the Veilkeeper. He knows it's inside him, threading hunger through his veins. But the more he resists, the more he wants. Their connection-violent, desperate, inescapable-may be the key to either breaking the curse or fulfilling it. As the Veilkeeper tightens its grip, Hollow Ridge warps into a waking fever dream of lust and terror, where desire and destruction are one and the same. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell whether they're fighting the Veilkeeper... or becoming part of its legend.

9 parts Ongoing Mature
It was supposed to be an easy, unremarkable life for Mina. Or so it seemed. The unraveling began when her sister, Alicia, gave her heart to Kim Taehyung. A man revered and feared alike, a being carved from iron will and unshakable strength, his every breath carrying the weight of unspoken command. At first, Mina thought herself safe. Taehyung was the steady harbor, the unwavering protector, the brother she never had. Until fate, cruel and merciless, struck. An automobile accident stole Alicia's sight, plunging their lives into a darkness no sunlight could banish. And with it, the man Mina trusted changed. What once was gentle protection rotted into something darker, deeper. A possession that clung to her like unseen chains. Taehyung's gaze, once warm, now seared with an unnamed hunger. His touch no longer comforted, it caged. Mina longed to cry out, to confess the terror that gnawed at her soul. But Taehyung held a secret over her, a blade resting against her throat, unseen but ever-present, one she would carry into the grave before speaking aloud. And so she remained trapped, delicate and trembling, inside a golden cage. From the shadows, another presence stirred. Rinkyu. A man as dangerous as he was magnetic, as merciless as he was cunning. Draped in silk and sin, he moved like a predator too elegant to be touched, his grin never reaching his cold, calculating eyes. He bore the air of a fallen king, beautiful, broken, and bloodthirsty. If Taehyung was the unshakable mountain, Rinkyu was the hurricane that could tear it apart. The moment Rinkyu's gaze fell upon Mina, something ancient and twisted unfurled within him. She was no longer just a pawn to wound Taehyung, she became an obsession, a delicate flower he longed to crush and cradle all at once. And Mina, fragile, helpless Mina. Finds herself trembling at the heart of a battle neither man intends to lose. And when the final blow falls, who will have her heart... and who will leave her in ruins?

shadow's bargain by Blackduskm1dnight
9 parts Ongoing Mature
Lila Ashbourne never believed in the supernatural. Raised in a family haunted by secrets and a past stained by tragedy, she's spent years running from the shadows that plague her bloodline. But when an enigmatic package arrives, containing one of her late father's journals, Lila is drawn back to Blackwood Hollow-a place she thought she had escaped forever. In the decaying mansion where her family's curse began, she discovers that the past is far from dead. And someone-or something-has been waiting for her return. Damien Blackthorn, the infamous heir to the Blackthorn curse, is a man of shadows and sin. With a bloodline bound to an ancient and malevolent entity, Damien has spent his life seeking redemption-or at least a way to break free from the shackles of his cursed existence. He's no stranger to darkness, but when he crosses paths with Lila, he finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than the ghosts of his past. Their families are connected by more than fate-they share a blood debt to the same powerful force that has tormented them both. As Lila unravels the truth behind her family's curse, she finds herself at the mercy of a man whose love is as destructive as it is consuming. Torn between his cold indifference and his growing obsession, Lila must decide if she can trust Damien-or if her connection to him will only pull her deeper into the shadows. In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets lurk in every corner, and love is both a curse and a blessing, Lila and Damien are forced to confront their darkest desires. Can they break free from the chains of their bloodlines before it's too late? Or will their love consume them both in a deadly bargain with the very forces that have shaped their fates?
