Too many things are going wrong in Melody Riller's life. One second she's her own grumpy, isolated- but happy- 12 year old self who's only best friend is a cat. The next moment, her cat is missing, her family is stuck in the half empty house they were supposed to move out of,  and Christmas is right around the corner, looming in her face with an overly cheery grin. Nothing seems to go her way, until Christmas morning. But this little ball of fuzz isn't all that his adorable features deem him to be, and Melody is soon to find out as she is dragged into a world of danger that was unknown to her before. As terrifying secrets are unleashed, new friends are met, and Melody is put way outside her comfort zone of socializing, she is soon faced with the decision of how far she will go for her best friend- while risking the lives of others.

The Good Ones by DeeDeeMansfield
32 parts Complete Mature
Young veterinarian, Mavis Rogers, has two goals for her new career- don't kill anything and don't reveal to her mentor that she can talk to animals. Because the universe has a twisted sense of humor, she accidentally kills her first patient and discovers that her hard-ass, temperamental mentor, Alex Dodd, can also talk to animals. He introduces Mavis to Aurora, a secret organization of elves who report to Nicholas at the North Pole (yes, that Nicholas). They're humans with the genetic ability to use magic and are duty-bound to protect unsuspecting non-elven humans from rogues. Forced into serving Aurora, Mavis is thrown into a war against an army of rogues led by ex-Aurora elf, Beau Tanner. Mavis learns that she alone possesses the magic powerful enough to stop Beau, but lacks the confidence to use it. If only her mentor wasn't such an asshole. Lucinda Morales is a Type A Adderall addict who takes offense at being given orders. Her parents ordered her to use her degree in chemistry to become a medical doctor, so she became a wildlife biologist instead. When she discovers that her new job with playboy nature documentary host, Kevin King, is a ruse to lock her into Aurora's servitude, she carves a path that none of her teammates anticipate. What Lucinda lacks in power, she makes up for with her intelligence and tenacity, and there are no limits to how far she will go to obtain that power. If only her mentor paid attention. Animals call Aurora elves the Good Ones, but how can battle lines be drawn when "good" is open for interpretation?
