«Il Castello dei Beveux non si direbbe la località adatta a gente di alto rango.»
È questo il commento che serpeggia tra le stradine di Watherlord, piccola cittadina scozzese, accompagnato da sguardi inquieti e superstizioni mai sopite.
Sabrina Morelli non ha mai creduto a queste sciocchezze. Investigatrice della polizia locale, è abituata ai fatti, non ai pettegolezzi. Per lei il "castello infestato" è solo il prodotto della noia collettiva.
Una mattina, tuttavia, riceverà un invito a recarsi al Castello dei Beveux, firmato dalla sua enigmatica proprietaria. Sabrina sospetta uno scherzo di cattivo gusto, ma quella lettera la inquieta più di quanto vorrebbe ammettere.
Al suo arrivo, dodici ospiti vengono accolti nell'antico salone del castello. Quella che appare come una stravagante riunione, si trasforma presto in un incubo: oggetti che scompaiono, rumori inspiegabili, morti insolite... e la misteriosa padrona di casa che svanisce nel nulla.
Nel caos crescente, Sabrina si ritrova a collaborare con Dorian, un medico legale enigmatico quanto il luogo che li ospita. 
Dorian è brillante, attento... e un bugiardo. Sabrina detesta le menzogne più di qualsiasi superstizione, e la sua ostinazione nel voler smascherarlo rischia di farle perdere il controllo. Eppure, c'è qualcosa in lui che completa il quadro del Castello dei Beveux, come se ne fosse parte integrante.
Intrappolati tra mura che sembrano respirare segreti, Sabrina dovrà scegliere se fidarsi di lui o affrontare da sola un mistero che sfida ogni logica.
Perché, forse, il castello non è l'unico a nascondere qualcosa. E alcune bugie sono più pericolose dei fantasmi.

Vampire's Pet by cannoness
88 parts Complete Mature
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

39 parts Complete

{#1 in teenagers} {#2 in fiction} {#2 in popular} "You better not tell anyone about this." "Aw why not? I'm sure your fandom of desperate girls would love to know that their precious prince charming needs a babysitter." I smile innocently back at his death glare. "I'm serious, nerd. I could make your life hell." ------------------------------------------------------------ Marnie Jones is an ordinary 11th grader. Her only intentions are to get good grades and save money for college with her babysitting job. Everything is going to plan. Until she gets a job babysitting the high school bad boy, Zeke Blakely. The two come from complete different social groups, and Marnie automatically hates Zeke and his big ego and cocky attitude. He's a player. He's dangerous. He's reckless. She's safe with an overthinking problem. As the two are seen hanging around school together, attention gets drawn to Marnie. Which she hates. But she also catches the eye of a handsome jock, too. And why, you ask, does a 17 year old boy need a babysitter? You'll have to read to find out. WARNING: contains vulgar language and mature scenes.
