Demonic Delights and Holy Cupcakes de BksbyBkr
51 partes Concluida
Earth and the Eight realms are cut adrift from the network of realities and worlds that make up the expansive Universe, though time will tell if it is enough to stop the World Eater from getting what it wants from Lucifer. Only a few know the truth about what has happened and they struggle to maintain the secret long enough to make a difference in the battle to come. Life has continued, revolving around Lucifer's coffee shop and its menagerie of patrons and the efforts of the Council to keep Earth balanced between light and dark. The only thing reliable in this town is that Sinfully Delicious will be open and that eventually there may be a batch of sticky buns for eager patrons. There will be war. There will be love. There will be sacrifice. There will be loss. But first stop by for a latte, avoid the scones and try not to feed the demons any Nymph Blood. Also, any tips on how to start up a supernatural rodeo would be greatly appreciated. #stickybunsforpeace Book Three of the Devil's Deal Series. Cover by @whiskeyjanedoe

Expelled from her old school for a crime she didn't commit, Ivy must gain the trust of the High Pack at Ridgeview Academy to stop her new home from going up in flames.

Enmities can last a lifetime. Death lurks in the woods... Expelled from her old school for a crime she didn't commit, Ivy Thatcher must leave everything behind to start a new life at Ridgeview Academy, a supernatural boarding school in the Great Dividing Range of Australia. But being the new kid isn't the fresh start she'd hoped for. The 2015 graduates have more secrets than years to them; a serial killer is picking off students one by one; strange doorways start opening in her mind, preluding the manifestation of unprecedented powers; and even more frightening than all of that: Ivy finds herself falling for one of her classmates...

The Painted Altar de bigimp
44 partes Concluida
WATTYS WINNER 2020 Two interconnected murders, 64 years apart. One woman's search for truth and identity. Readers' comments: 'a masterpiece', 'impeccably written', 'amazing', 'superbly crafted page-turner', 'hauntingly beautiful', 'tremendous plot and character development', 'one of a kind', 'fantastic story telling', 'loved this book', 'a wonderful read", 'absolutely beautiful', 'brought tears to my eyes' and many more Wattys judging panel: 'This is VERY good. We were HOOKED from the beginning, and the writing and plot hold up throughout. This is a very unique, polished, well-written and well-researched piece.' Plot Set partly in rural England, partly on the sun-kissed coast of southerm Italy, The Painted Altar is a murder mystery mixed with romantic and historical elements (World War Two). Given away at two days old, Mary Rice has spent her life in the shadows. When discovering the suspicious circumstances surrounding her biological mother's death, she embarks on a journey which will shine a light not only on the truth but also on her own identity. Brief extract Suddenly, the door had inched open, half a wrinkled face visible behind the tautened chain. "Hello. Who is it?" The words I was going to say had of course been well-rehearsed, repeated over and over in my mind like a mantra, but now that the moment had arrived I found myself struggling to remember them. "Mrs Harvey... I think that you might... well, that you might be..." The door closed, then slowly opened once more, the chain this time unlatched. And there she was before me - half a metre away, within arm's reach. Thin lips gradually crooking upwards at each corner like the slow beatific kindling of a summer's dawn. "Oh yes love, I know who you are." Length: 70,000 words About the author: Originally from England but for the last 16 years I've been living in Italy. I hope therefore that the Italian aspects of the novel will have a certain gloss of authenticity.

Garden of Embers: Beneath Devouring Eyes #2 de ostromn
78 partes Concluida
Lightholder mages live by many rules. Among these: second-born twins must die for the good of all. In this sequel to Garden of Light, Domi, a fifteen-year-old apprentice sorcerer, has just learned the terrible secret that he is the younger twin brother of the world's most powerful wizard and was abandoned at birth in order to save his life. Worse, his mere existence threatens not only his brother's safety but the lives of every person on the planet. For Domi's twin brother is the Princeps Worldholder, a wizard whose royal magic defends and maintains the world, and Domi's illicit magic naturally interferes with his brother's health and sorcery. If the Princeps dies, magic itself could be destroyed, and the world that depends on it could crumble. The twins find themselves in a race against time to save magic, the world, and each other. But what does it mean to survive, and what is the price of existence?
Web shadows de IdiaJLowe

What if the one you loved most was also the one who could destroy you? At the heart of a fragile relationship, an invisible web tightens-woven from jealousy, manipulation, and false memories. What begins as a story of love and trust slowly unravels into a chilling psychological battle, where truth and lies intertwine so seamlessly that even the strongest mind begins to fracture. In Web Shadows, nothing is what it seems. Every whispered word, every subtle gesture, every carefully chosen silence becomes a clue-or a trap. Love transforms into obsession, loyalty bends into betrayal, and the line between victim and predator fades with every chapter. The story plunges readers into the unsettling reality of a couple whose bond, once a sanctuary, turns into a battlefield. As shadows creep into their daily lives, the question emerges: is danger coming from the outside, or has it always been inside their home? The people they thought they could trust the most become strangers, and memories once cherished twist into weapons. Beneath the surface, hidden truths pulse like a second heartbeat, waiting to be uncovered. Each revelation leads not to clarity, but to deeper confusion. The past collides with the present, and secrets buried for years claw their way back into the light, demanding to be faced. This is not just a story about love gone wrong. It is about control, fear, and the dangerous games the human mind can play when pushed to its breaking point. It is about the masks people wear-masks so convincing that even those closest to them cannot tell where reality ends and deception begins. Because in the end, the most dangerous webs are not the ones we see... but the ones we believe in.

After nights of haunting musical messages and retrieving strange, pulsing items for her eccentric employer, Cleo unravels a conspiracy she definitely isn't getting paid enough to be involved in. As time goes on, she glimpses a fantastical realm of individuals that prefer to keep their powers a secret, and will do anything to remain unseen. Once unveiled, there is no going back to blissful ignorance. It all started with a paycheck. But in the end, Cleo may be the one paying - with her life. ~ cover by Laine from @avadel sticker by @SuVida777 *ONC 2024 Honorable Mention and Shortlister *Open Door Awards 2024 New Adult Winner *8CC participant January-February 2024 Completed Word Count: 31,180 Featured: @mystery 100.
