A storm. A classroom game. A girl accused.
Fourteen-year-old Mari thought magic was just a memory from her Guatemalan childhood-until a history lesson, a flash of lightning, and a pendant from her grandmother awaken something old.
But this is not fairy-tale witchcraft.
This is myth meeting modernity-rituals rewritten as hashtags, curses cast through livestreams, power fueled by followers.
As Mari becomes Itzel, her identity fractures.
Is she summoning ancient forces-or being consumed by them?
In a world where your voice echoes louder online than in real life, what happens when the spell takes hold... and everyone's watching?

You Were What You Eat
Not a villain. Not a brooding love-interest. Just a normal, high school vampire. As a vampire, Anna knows about hunting. She knows how to find isolated prey, how to put people at ease, how to leave no trace behind. What she doesn't know about is high school. Students don't pay attention, her English teacher repeats the same lesson for days on end, and why does she seem to be the only one not bolting for the door when the bell rings? With one friend who's obsessed with vampires and another who's not quite what she seems to be, Anna has to learn the rules of high school fast if she wants to remain undetected. As attacks throughout the city increase, suspicions mount. Anna tries to go unnoticed, but when her newfound friend sets out to prove the attacks are being caused by a vampire, Anna is left to wonder if her dark secret will be discovered. And what will happen to her if it is? This is an urban fantasy story with plenty of teen drama and a touch of mystery. Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Vampire Diaries, but with a twist.Complete
Unbound Relic
They chained her underground for a thousand years. Waking up was never part of the plan. She was the kingdom of Aethermoor's most dangerous secret-a girl with power so catastrophic that the Seven Throne Council chose eternal imprisonment over execution. Bound in unbreakable chains and sealed beneath cursed earth, her name was erased from history. For a thousand years, she slept in darkness. Then she woke up in a high school classroom. The chains are gone. Her magical world is gone. Instead, she finds herself trapped in the body of Ione Castellan, a seventeen-year-old loner who died four days ago. The face staring back at her in the mirror is foreign-soft ash-gray hair and gentle doe-like eyes in a striking jeweled lilac shade. This fragile body feels nothing like the warrior she once was. This world has no magic. But it has something worse: monsters that look human. Through Ione's fractured memories, she learns about Ashcroft-a city drowning in unsolved murders and serial killings. Bodies appear in alleyways carved with symbols she recognizes. Ancient symbols. From her world. Navigating high school is bewildering enough-what is "Wi-Fi"? Why do people stare at glowing rectangles all day?-but her old powers are awakening, causing lights to flicker and electronics to explode when her emotions spike. Worse, she's seeing things others can't: shadows that move with intent, and runes that shouldn't exist in this magic-less world. In a city of serial killers and ancient magic, the girl who should have stayed buried might be the only one who can stop what's coming.

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018Complete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
