They thought he was a quiet, broken boy.
They didn't see the wings. Or the war he was born for.
Seventeen-year-old Elias has always been good at hiding. Hidden bruises, hidden truths, hidden power. After a lifetime of abuse, he's forced to attend school in the eerie town of Cannisborough, where everyone thinks he's just a shy, homeschooled transfer. Fragile. Forgettable. Easy to ignore.
Except Jace Ryland isn't like everyone else.
As Beta of the local werewolf pack, Jace knows better than to question his instincts-especially when something about Elias sets every nerve on edge. There's a connection he can't explain. A pull he doesn't understand. And when Elias is pushed too far by a cruel group of students, everything Jace thought he knew is obliterated.
Wings erupt from Elias's back.
Light cracks the sky.
And the forgotten blood of a celestial warrior begins to rise.
Elias isn't human. He's Nephilim-part angel, part mystery, and entirely dangerous. Now the veil between life and death is beginning to tear, ancient forces are awakening, and Cannisborough is no longer safe.
Everyone thought Elias was the victim.
They were wrong.
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn paranormal romance, and supernatural secrets, Where Shadows Fear to Tread is a gripping first book in a new series about identity, survival, and the divine power buried in broken things.
If you love forbidden bonds, protective shifters, and boys who burn brighter than fate allows-start reading now.

Alpha Jax
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) and book two (Alpha Theo) for context before diving into this book. JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want to hook up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she was the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me her name or anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head, and I've been obsessed with finding this girl ever since. When she shows up at the squad complex for recruit training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that I'm finding harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed. QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless sex with a handsome stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and try to forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night. I can't stop thinking about the stranger with all the right moves that set my body on fire. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but he's also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would kill Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance from Jax. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about him. Even if it kills me. ~ This book contains mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then this book is not likely for you.Complete

As the trio races across cursed forests, crumbling villages, and shattered memories, Bel must confront a truth he was never ready to face: He was never just running from something. He was being called to something greater. Something darker. In a world where shadows hold the truth and light can lie, Bel must decide what kind of monster he's willing to become, to save the people he loves. Shadowbound is a journey of identity, survival, and self-acceptance, the first step into a trilogy where destiny wears a broken face... and hope is found in the dark.Complete

The Morningstar: City of Forgotten Memories
This is a fanfiction based on The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. What if Jace and Clary never dated, only ever had a platonic relationship because they were both Valentine's experiments? Siblings, in a way, yes. But not by birth? And Jace never knew his true family. In this reimagined version of City of Bones, nine years after the Mortal War, the Seelie Queen cast a spell to send the entire world into an alternative timeline. She erased the memory of Max, stripping him of his runes and sent him to befriend a boy named Samuel. Samuel is an ordinary eighteen-year-old guy-or so he thinks-until one night at a gritty biker bar changes everything. While trying to blend in, he witnesses a murder that no one else seems to remember. The attacker vanishes without a trace, and the body? Gone, like it never existed. That's the night Samuel's world cracks open. Soon, he's pulled into a hidden war between demons and a secret order known as the Shadowhunters-warriors tasked with protecting humanity from creatures most people never even know exist. As Samuel digs deeper into the truth behind his mother's sudden disappearance, he uncovers a terrifying secret: his father isn't just some long-lost figure- he's the Devil himself. Torn between the dark legacy in his blood and the loyalty he begins to feel for his newfound allies-especially the sharp-tongued, battle-scarred Jace-Samuel must choose what kind of man he wants to be in a world where monsters wear many faces... including his own.Complete
