What's worse than a cold latte?
Demons.
Welcome to Sydney, where infernal creatures, witches, templars, and soy lattes inhabit the same cafes. Reluctantly.
After Julien (an arts student, and ideal demonic host) witnesses a strange girl jump off a bridge - and survive - he is unwillingly drawn into an (unpaid) investigation of the occult murders occurring in the city.
He's joined by a templar, a demon-turned-almost-human, and a barista who may-or-may-not be angelic. The four unlikely allies fight to eliminate the infernal threat before their own dark pasts are revealed.
In the Shadows the creatures in the dark are nothing compared to what's waiting in your mirror.

Alpha Nyx's Runt
"I-I'm sorry for waking you up. Please forgive me Alpha." She basically threw herself to her knees and bared her neck: a sign of submission. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I thought we had begun to move passed this, but I knew deep down it would take more than holding her to get through this. I walked over to her and pulled her up gently to her feet. I grasped her chin in my hand and lifted her head up to look me in the eyes. "Jasabelle, you are my Luna. You are not my maid, you are not my servant. I will never punish you...well in any way that will cause you harm." I chuckled but my wolf howled in sexual frustration, waiting for the misbehavior of our mate so he could make good on the promise. --------- Nyx has finally found his Luna. She's perfect to him. She's everything he could've dreamed she would be, but she's afraid of her own shadow. Jasabelle was petrified of everything. She knew nothing but cruelty and expected nothing less from anyone. Nyx has to help his mate overcome her dark fears and prepare her for the biggest challenge of her life; becoming a Luna. -------------- MATURE CONTENT WARNING.Complete

Shadow Claw: The Life Story - The First Chapter
BOOK 1 'By this time, I had had enough and was going to make a stand. I growled, leaping to my feet and almost knocking James over. "We are never leaving this place Jenny! We're stuck here forever and you bloody well know it! Stop with your nonsense theories and plans and get your head into the real world! We. Are. Never. Leaving!" I snarled, my breathing irregular and my eyes stone-hard. James frowned, getting up and walking over to Jenny to comfort her. She was frozen with shock at my outburst, a stray tear sliding down her cheek. I had to give it to her, my words were harsher than I had expected, and she took them with a grain of salt. She was strong now; and we all knew it. "Well, if that's how you feel." She whispered, turning her back to me and allowing James to hug her, most likely more for his own comfort. Jeez. I felt so bad, that I almost apologized. But I didn't.' -------------------------------------------------------- Shadow Claw; a female creature of the race of Claws.

The Dark Side of the Moon
"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Devils Angel: A Dark Paranormal Romance
Flower Serie: 1 "Please please please, let me come" I begged Silas who kept eating me. Noah was fucking Max next to me who was a moaning mess next to me. Max opens his clouded eyes, looking at me, or more precisely at my breast hungrily. My attention was back to Silas when he bit my clit a little to hard, but soothed it right ever by liking it a few times, overstimulating it more than it already was. "5 more minutes and then you can come. Not before that". I don't know if I can survive 5 more minutes of this hot torture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️⚠️18+⚠️⚠️ This story is for 18+ only but I'm sure most of you who will read this book will be under 18.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

The Order
For thousands of years The Order has been protecting creation from Evil, the paranormal, and sometimes themselves without the world knowing. Each member of the ancient society has been sworn to put humanity above all else, even if not by choice. The Fallen are some that don't have that choice. Many are serving penance after being cast out during the battle in Heaven or for other transgressions. Callen and Fin are two of The Fallen, who are serving their time, counting down the days until they are able to go home. Each save brings them closer to their rightful power and closer to getting out. But a higher power has other plans for the disgraced Angels. Plans that keep them Earth-bound for longer than any of them anticipated. Plans that include Harper McCarthy, who has no idea what truly exists in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Harper McCarthy wants out of life is to raise her six year old son, Cameron the best she can. But when Callan and Fin blow into town, they throw her into the chaotic world of angels, demons, ghosts and creatures that only belong in nightmares. A world that in her mind, shouldn't exist. A world she should have always been a part of. With lies and betrayals coming to light, Harper comes to find that she is one of three keys in a prophecy that should have taken place almost a decade ago, one that was thrown off course by someone she trusted the most. While Harper tries to come to terms who...or what she is, Callen must decide whether to embrace his new role or hold onto his resentment for humanity, who he was sworn to protect.
