The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

A Nightmare On Elm Street {COMPLETED}
"You can't run from what you buried. Not in your dreams." In the quiet, gray-skied suburb of Springwood, something is stirring beneath the surface-something old, something scorched, something waiting. It's been over a decade since the fire that gutted the abandoned preschool on Elm Street. No one talks about what happened. No one remembers why it happened. But their children? They're starting to dream. When 17-year-old Raven Marlowe begins suffering from vivid nightmares-twisted landscapes of bloodstained hallways, whispering shadows, and a man with razors for fingers-she tries to brush it off as stress. Her best friend is dead, found clawed and contorted in her sleep. The coroner says it was self-harm. Raven isn't so sure. As more students at her school begin to break down-some refusing to sleep, others waking up with bruises and burns-the truth uncoils itself like a rattlesnake beneath the town's perfectly trimmed lawns. Years ago, the adults of Elm Street committed a sin. They buried it. But guilt has a pulse. And now it's dreaming. Now Raven must unravel the sins of the past before they consume her future. Her mother-the town's lead detective-knows more than she's saying. Her friends are being picked off one by one. Sleep is no longer a sanctuary. To survive, Raven must become lucid, descend into a burning subconscious, and confront the soul-forge where guilt becomes a weapon. Because once you fall asleep on Elm Street, there's only one rule: If you die in your dreams... you die for real.Complete
Because I Love You✔️
They say love conquers all. His shattered the fabric of reality and began a world-altering change that would eventually shift the concept of life and death forever. 🌺💛👑💛🌺 Phil wasn't exactly the best at being the boy-next-door. Shy, clumsy, and highly insecure with his life as a whole - he was the complete opposite of his girlfriend, a bubbly nerd named Ella. But like Yin and Yang, the two of them were inseparable... at least, until the night of Ella's sixteenth birthday, when she died in his arms after an unexpected shooting. Traumatized and blinded by grief, Phil took his own life only three months later on his seventeenth birthday, but instead of finding his much-expected peace in the afterlife, he somehow ended up on a parallel world called Atlas as an almost monstrous-looking version of himself. Trapped in the kingdom of Aerika, a bizarre place chock full of things like magic, elves, orcs, demons, faeries, squirrel-riding women, assassins, a tyrannical hierarchy, and everything else under the sun, he finds himself very confused and depressed. But before he can begin to make sense of anything, he's captured and caged like an animal by a ruthless girl who looks and sounds exactly like his late girlfriend. Is this his own, personal hell? Or is it a second chance? And if it is a second chance... does he even want to take it? (Highest Ranking - #8 in Fantasy!!!!! ❤) (TRAILER INSIDE) Copyright © by Aaron Ledgers.

But what happens when Henry and Edward start to fall for each other? What happens when Henry's long-kept family secret is uncovered?
