In a world gone mad with bloodlust, can a girl with a fragmented past use her inner monster to save the last human from undying predators?
Earth, post-Apocalypse. Prisma longs to understand herself. Two centuries after humanity died, the claustrophobic immortal is grateful she's not driven by the thirst for blood plaguing every other enslaved survivor. But when a boy arrives at her den with a cryptic message about her origins, she fears his existence has made them both a deadly target.
As Prisma's violently protective alter-ego gives her remarkable abilities, she and her clueless companion trace a mysterious entity through their decaying city and its virtual twin. But she's horrified to stumble on a vicious conspiracy that sends her split personality into dangerous denial just as a psychotic assassin and a desperate bounty hunter close in for the kill.
Can she unearth the secret that will renew their stricken planet's hope?

One Man's Treasure || ONC 2026
The town of Dogwood in Cross County, North Carolina is a picturesque seaside community with a sordid past swimming in piracy. Smoking Beard, aka Edward Hollingsworth, was the terror of the colonial coast in the 1600's, and one of Dogwood's founding members, before his descent into illegal privateering and eventual decline into madness. Four hundred years later, Bertha Rodriguez, romance novelist, resides in Dogwood along with her best friend Camilla Goldstien, Dogwood's chief of police. Every year the town capitalizes on its founders' past with a week long festival in June. The Founders' Festival brings much needed tourism and a break from the monotony of living in a small town. This year will be different, a huge storm hits the coast two weeks before the festival begins and someone uses it as an opportunity for murder. With their town cut off from the rest of civilization, it falls to Bertha and Camilla to solve the murder before the weather clears and the villain is able to make an escape.

Echoes of fallen/ my hero academia (no new chapters in the next months/weeks)
Reborn in a world of heroes and villains, Y/N should have had the chance for a fresh start. But fate is a cruel writer. At just one month old, she witnesses her new world shatter into pieces-and with it, the barrier to powers no human should ever possess. Y/N is no ordinary child. Voices echo in her mind. Her Quirk isn't a gift; it's an archive of pain. Every time she uses her power, she risks drowning in the bloody memories of those who died in other worlds. Between the relentless training at U.A. High and the constant fear of losing control, only one question remains: Can you be a hero when you bear the shadows of killers and victims on your skin? "I never wanted people to see me as a monster. But how can you remain human when you carry a thousand deaths within you?" All characters belong to kohei horikoshi
Terminal (Terminal trilogy #1)
A demon decides to leave Hell but is really, really bad at it. Terminal is about Mannie Ávila, an egotistical and gossip-loving, but low-ranked, demon who decides they've had enough of Hell, and heads off- only to stumble upon a shaky, surely doomed plan by the higher ups to pursue peace with Heaven (and the murderous angels who lurk there). Terminal stands on its own, but is part of a series (all written) about mental illness, friendship, self-destruction... and uh, jokes. The urban fantasy 'secret city' world is a little bit silly and doesn't take itself too seriously, while still weaving stories about horrible people trying to change, and often failing. Plus some good ol' political satire to liven things up. First book in a trilogy, followed by Radicle. (radi stands alone despite this being book one) (Features original art of the characters, by me!) FANTASTIC cover design by @summergirl21!Complete
In Plain Sight - A SIGHT Novel
Some secrets protect you. Some get you hunted. What happens when they all come out into the open? Raphael Corcrel, heir to a business empire he wants no part of, is a demi-fae shapeshifter. In this modern world, the demi-fae are a rarity, with powers that set them apart from both humans and fae. Which often means they are hunted; as weapons, as oddities, as something that should be eradicated. As monsters, half-breeds. Ever since his father died when he was eleven, Raph has managed to keep his shapeshifting a secret, even from his uncle and mother, who assume he didn't inherit it. He never had anyone teach him to control it, and the last thing he wants is for Animal Control to lock him up or 'release' him into the wild. But when someone his friends know and care about is in danger, and he steps up to help, suddenly it becomes hard to hide many things about himself. And figures from his father's past start to take notice. Calliope Farrow is attending Sir Robertson University purely on a soccer scholarship. She wants to be a kinesiologist and help people recover from injuries that she herself had to deal with. Her ability to play and study is vital to keeping her scholarship - and essential in staying in her aunt's good graces. But when the headmaster's son himself takes a bad kind of interest in her, she is forced to confront the choices: running from the danger, fighting for her passion, or staying silent and obedient like she always has. And when the danger gets worse, revealing things about her that even she didn't know, her choices don't just concern her scholarship - they will impact her entire life and others around her. CAUTION: Contains violence, swearing, and mentions/depictions of assault. 15/16+ recommended AT LEAST. Some spice, but not explicit.
