She had always had one fear her whole life. One that she could always comfort some with the help of a night light and the teddy bear she’s had since she was ten. Mara Counts had a very irrational fear of the dark. Irrational for the fact of she is, what most people would say, what went bump in the night; for Mara is a werewolf.
If you had been locked in a dark cellar for six years of your childhood, would you feel the same? Will Mara ever get over this? With her anxiety, will she ever find love? Will she ever be able to trust? Will she find her lost family?

The Shelf
When Mara inherits her uncle's ridge cabin, seven rules are all that stand between her and the thing that wears her face. Mara never believed in mountain rules. Not until she unlocks her uncle's cabin and finds them: 1. Don't look out the windows after dark. 2. Burn your trash before sundown. 3. Don't follow the lights in the trees. 4. It wears your face. Don't speak to it. 5. If you hear knocking-ignore it. 6. Never invite anything in. 7. If you forget the rules... it reminds you. In the Appalachians, stories are warnings-and this place was built on both. The Shelf is an Appalachian folk-horror about memory, isolation, and the price of breaking rules that kept you alive. Read it with the lights on. And if something knocks-don't answer.
Alpha Jax
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) and book two (Alpha Theo) for context before diving into this book. JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want to hook up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she was the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me her name or anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head, and I've been obsessed with finding this girl ever since. When she shows up at the squad complex for recruit training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that I'm finding harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed. QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless sex with a handsome stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and try to forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night. I can't stop thinking about the stranger with all the right moves that set my body on fire. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but he's also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would kill Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance from Jax. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about him. Even if it kills me. ~ This book contains mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then this book is not likely for you.Complete

Sincerely, Mara. {Wattys2015}
Story #1 in the 'The Hourglass Effect' series. She forgot it was an act. That it was a lie. She forgot that she's broken, and can't fall in love. So she made him fall for her . Made him think she was perfect. But what she didn't know, was that the boy that fell in love too easily already knew her secrets. All of them. All rights reserved© 2015 by staticdreams.
