The Lovely Angel
**He grabbed my arm and pulled me against him. I blinked, knowing that if it was anyone else in my predicament, their first instinct would be to run. But mine was to move closer, though I tried not to show it. "You need to choose," he said. "Right here, right now. We are in the middle of a war, and either of us could die before the sun rises." I stopped breathing all together, knowing his next words, but dreading them. "So you choose. Me . . . or him." **When Claire Marks gets sent to a boarding school in Wyoming, she's determined to make the best of it.

The Subway (Now Available on Amazon!) (Unedited Version on Wattpad)
~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️Completa

Manila Vampires: Mata'i - Tao
"Manila is sinking, in blood." Set in an alternate universe Philippines. A wave of brutal, unexplainable murders sweeps across the nation, so grotesque that rumors begin to spread of a hidden society of cannibals, an underground community that feasts on human flesh. When the sun disappears from Manila's skyline, creatures emerge from the shadows of narrow alleyways, beings addicted to blood and raw meat. They move among ordinary people with hollow stomachs and predatory eyes, hunting for their next prey. Some are descendants of ancient cannibal tribes from a known ancient Visayan Folklore. Others come from bloodsucking clans in the western lands rooting from the history of Spanish Colonization. And now, they are all converging on Manila. An 18-year-old student activist, obsessed with exposing the truth behind her mother's murder, begins investigating the rising body count-only to find herself stalked by the shadows that poison him with a life-changing curse. A 36-year-old former NBI investigator, broken by the slaughter of his entire family, is recruited into a secret organization created by the President's underground force, sworn to purge the darkness spreading across the city. A former 'immortal' supersoldier turned CIA Agent is deployed to the Philippines to investigate a charismatic megachurch pastor linked to mass murders committed by a Filipino-American community in California. His past wars have hardened him... but the horrors he finds here ignite a new obsession. Bound by fate, the unlikely trio must uncover the truth behind the killings before the entire nation is swallowed whole by the coming darkness - born not only from its own soil, but from distant lands drifting in with deadly intent.
