They told us to be scared of the things we couldn't explain. They told us to stay away from the dark. But what if, the darkness is enticing? What if... you don't have a choice?

After all, nothing is ever black and white, in the shadows.

Thorns & Teardrops (Devilish Knights Series #1)
JAXON People are drawn to the good and the beautiful-those perfectly polished little things that catch the light just right. They're obsessed with the illusion of perfection, believing it will fill the cracks within them, convinced that beauty equals happiness. They chase after what they think everyone else desires. Flawlessness. They chase after what they think they should be desiring. Illusions. But the eyes staring back at me now? They don't want all that. They see beauty as a fragile lie. They want more. They want to fall free in the forbidden darkness, that most people are afraid of. They want to feel the rush of the wind tearing past their skin, that most people are terrified of. They want the chills on every inch of their body and to taste the thrill of the unknown. They want something bad. And what do we do to girls who want to do bad things?

Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Concluida

I had so much left, to say
sometimes the people we expect to stay with forever, and to trust, leave us... why? Is something she'll always ask herself. It is something that still haunts her. She wants to know if he wanted to teach her something, or if he wanted to hurt her, she wants to know what was going through his mind when he left. She'll get her answer now that she's back in town but it's not what she expected.
Blood Bath
You've always been in the background-watching, waiting-as she captured his heart effortlessly. No matter how much you treasured your friendship, no matter how much you told yourself it didn't hurt, the truth lingered like a cruel whisper: he never saw you. But you refuse to fade into the shadows any longer. Desperation turns to determination, and soon, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make him notice you-even if it means crossing lines you swore you never would. Even if it means losing the people who truly care about you. Because love isn't always patient. And sometimes, obsession is just another word for devotion. How far will you go before there's nothing left of the person you used to be?
The Sins We Share
The closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to him. And once he has her... he's never letting go. Love was never supposed to feel like a crime. But when every clue she follows leads back to him, she has to wonder-was she always meant to catch the killer, or was she meant to fall for him?

Redefined every time someone new uses it, and sometimes in a more vile and lascivious way. Love was never on the table. Completely erased from his vocabulary after his mother died an unforgiving death. However, sometimes the feeling can emerge from even the darkest places in the world. Twisted and depraved. Behind the closed doors of a kidnapper's home. Or from the void that swirls in the chest of someone's missing heart. Even between the forbidden love of an angel and a demon. Love can come in all forms, in all contexts, and can form from even the smallest smidge of scorching hate. There is never light without darkness. There is never yin without yang. There are never days without nights. There is never love without hate. There is never life without death. Even villains and demons can fall in love with heroes and angels. His salvation comes from her, and her destruction comes from him. Like clockwork, they are a match made in the universe; polar opposites, but the attraction is never stronger.Concluida
