Some loves survive death. Others begin there.
Ava:
I'm still haunted by the memories of the brother I lost. I'm chasing a legend, a grimoire buried deep beneath Corvexa Academy, but what I found was something far darker: a severed hand that remembers more than it should. Now, I'm tangled in a pact that might cost me everything - including my heart.
Cael:
I was whole once, but now I'm just shadows and whispers, bound to a glove that hides a secret no one else sees. Ava's the first to hear me, to fight beside me - but in this place where the veil is thin, trust is fragile, and love is a dangerous spell.

For lovers of dark academia and romance, this is a retelling of Wednesday Adams and Thing.

Dying Is The Easy Part
Two months after finding out that they have magical abilities, Quinn is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that they're a witch. It becomes even more difficult when another, significantly more troubling talent starts to emerge: the ability to see ghosts. ***** Even though Quinn tries to ignore the spirits haunting the old college campus, they soon find themself inexplicably drawn to Vincent, a boy from the 1930s with a sweet disposition and a tragic past, and his rag-tag group of ghosts. Before they know it, they find themself on a desperate hunt for answers and artifacts from their former lives, aided by Luis, a charming coffin maker with a penchant for the paranormal who Quinn can't seem to stay away from. In the end, it all comes down to one question: to accept or not to accept their magic? Spoiler alert: caring more and more about the ghosts you're supposed to set free doesn't make things easier. This is a spin-off to LOVE AND OTHER WICKED THINGS but can be read as a stand-alone. Content warning: this story contains themes of anxiety, death, insomnia, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of cancer, mentions of drug overdose, mentions of motorcycle accident, mentions of parental neglect, paranoia, panic attackKumpleto
Whispers of the Damned: The Eternal Crossroads
Currently trending in HAUNTED PAST (#66) and MORALLY GREY (#583), this isn't a love story. It's a game darker than love. They say fate can't be escaped. But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal. Haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a past wrapped in silence, she's only ever known how to survive. Love? Trust? They're luxuries she can't afford. Until Calix-dangerous, unreadable, and hiding secrets behind every smile-enters her world. He was never meant to stay. She was never meant to matter. But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.
Ghost Thorns (Ghost Perfume, Book 3)
The Alistairs admitted the truth. Their fifth is Rose, both silver and gold-called, though her existence must remain a secret from those who'd imprison her or condemn the Alistairs for their change of heart. With Rose operating from the shadows, they fight for both sides: to free the priests and protect the living and the dead from the hunger of the worms. *** (Excerpt, Alexander's POV) *** Rose laughed. "She wasn't cruel, just bossy. She kept telling me to find privacy and not to tell anyone that she was contacting me." "Why?" Gabriel asked. "She didn't say. Please don't ever tell her I told you." "The priests make secrecy their policy in everything," I said. "What would you have done if I wasn't here?" Would you have kept her a secret from us, Rose? Her warm fingers ran over the nape of my neck. "I'd have been even more upset that you weren't here." Too cute. She was going to be the death of me. Eyes that begged me to come closer while she put her hand on my chest, warning me off. Climbing on top of me, but keeping the blanket between us. And for the first time in my life I wanted something bad enough that I was afraid to push for it. "Don't worry that we'll step between you and Beatrice," I said. "Build trust with her however you see fit." She gave me a sweet smile. When was Gabriel going to get off the damn call? I'd had Rose to myself for all of two seconds before the world interrupted. "Tell her sometime that you hate us," Gabriel suggested. "If you want to build trust with her." Rose promptly frowned. "I'd rather not." "One day, spit on Gabriel in her presence," I piled on. "She'll kiss your cheek." "Did she always hate you like this? Why?" "Some feelings don't have a good cause. Nothing but one tribe against another," Gabriel said.
Confess I Love You
They call me a mage of light, but light has never truly belonged to me. What lives in my chest is no gift, it is a curse. A mark that burns, binding me to powers I cannot control, a mark that the Shadow Herald himself hunts, whispering that one day it will consume me whole. I should have told Kael. I should have told him long ago, before the secrets turned into chains of their own. But how could I confess, to the boy who fights at my side, who smiles as if I were his sun, when every truth I hold could shatter what we have? The Heart of Dawn was supposed to save us. Instead, it revealed me. At the Academy of Eldoria, shadows slipped past ancient wards, and students fell screaming. In my desperation, I burned myself nearly to death to keep them safe. Now Kael, Calista, Thorne, even little Vivi, they fight beside me, yet I wonder how long they'll stay once they learn the whole truth. This is not a tale of chosen heroes. It is a tale of a cursed girl who wields light with shaking hands, and who loves with a heart chained in shadow.
Where Time Forgot Us
What if the dream you couldn't forget... was a memory from a life you never lived? Solene never believed in soulmates, fate, or past lives-until she dreamed of him. A boy with brown eyes. A forgotten notebook. And two simple words: "Found you." She woke up shaken. Days later, she saw him in real life-walking past her like the world hadn't just shifted. But there's one problem: he doesn't know her. Not yet. As strange coincidences unfold and timelines begin to blur, Solene and Cael are pulled into a mystery that feels bigger than either of them-like the universe is trying to remind them of something they once had, and lost. Memories that never happened. Places they've never been... but somehow remember. A love story trapped between versions. Somewhere in all the timelines, they were real. The question is-can they find their way back in this one? A soft, slow-burn romance about love, memory, and the version of us that stays.Kumpleto
Different stars, same sky
Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased. Now, she's seventeen again-at least on paper-living with distant relatives in a city that doesn't feel like home, attending a militarized academy built on the ruins of her childhood. She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants. A story of broken memories, forbidden power, and a love that might cost everything.Kumpleto
LONELY. ☾ CHRIS BROWN
"We were just two strangers in the same world, searching for something we didn't even have a name for." - In which Chris, a college student with everything but the one thing he needs, meets Sage, a girl burdened by her past and a world that feels too heavy to carry alone. Through an anonymous school app, they begin to share their worlds-secrets, hopes, and fears-without ever knowing the other's true identity. As their connection grows, what started as digital whispers turns into something real, something worth fighting for. But will the truth tear them apart, or will it finally bring them together?
Soul Searcher
The day Elara Vale almost lost her sister, the world shifted. Roots tore through the soil at her touch, shadows bent unnaturally, and in one heartbeat, everything she thought she knew cracked apart. Her mother's truth followed soon after: magic was real, it lived in her blood, and it was time she faced the Academy. Caelestis Academy is nothing like Elara imagined. Towers carved with runes rise over a mist-filled gorge, students are sorted into factions of Earth, Water, and Air-and everywhere she turns, the absence of a fourth lingers like a scar. Soul. Erased. Condemned. Forbidden. While others wear their trauma like a badge, Elara carries only questions-and a secret she can't afford to reveal. Because the fire burning inside her does not belong to the earth she's been claimed by. It belongs to the one element the world has sworn to fear. Haunted by whispers, tangled in rivalries, and pulled toward friendships she never expected, Elara must decide who she can trust before the shadows beneath the school rise again. Some truths are heavy enough to break you. Others can set the world on fire.
