Blair's once ordinary life is shattered after she is convicted for the murder of her best friend and imprisoned in Draywell's Institute for the Criminally Insane. As she becomes plagued with nightmares that blur the line between reality and dreams, Blair sets out to recapture her freedom. In a desperate effort to prove her innocence, she enlists the help of an unlikely ally.
Apollyn, tormented by his dark past, has long been a mystery to the asylum. As demons he thought he had left behind close in, using Blair as a pawn in their game, Apollyn reluctantly reveals his secrets. Caught between two worlds, both Blair and Apollyn must confront their deepest fears to set each other free.
Dark, twisted, and compelling, this story explores the fine line between sanity and madness, trust and betrayal, and darkness and light.
Crazyhouse is the first installment of a trilogy series including the titles Crazyhouse, Blitz, and Armageddon.
Reviews:
"Few books manage to balance supernatural horror with deep, psychological storytelling quite like Crazyhouse. At its core, this is a novel about morality-how we define it, how we justify our own darkness, and whether redemption is truly possible. The worldbuilding is immersive, steeped in eerie, flickering lights and the ominous weight of demonic power. Apollyn is a protagonist as compelling as he is tragic, his battle for control echoing throughout every interaction and decision. Crazyhouse is a masterful blend of gothic horror, existential dread, and supernatural suspense."
"If you like morally gray characters, intricate plots, and stories that linger with you long after the last page, this book is for you. A gripping, darkly beautiful read."

"...and a little bird told me our king has been spending too much time in Purgatory, meeting with certain archangels." I was sure I didn't hear him correctly. "Lucifer and the archangels? Purgatory? I'll entertain your insanity, carry on." I tried not to laugh, crossing my arms over my chest. "He's there... you can't locate him even if you try, but I know. And there are too many angels there, living angels." Callum said. "They're hiding something, Ian. Deep enough in Purgatory that it's impossible to find." *** Megan had no idea she was the one being hidden... the one that could change everything. Caught between angels and demons, some more alluring than others, she's forced into a new reality that shatters the world she thought she knew. Who is she?

Fear Bound
Willow Run isn't your typical amusement park. Every fall, it transforms into a full-scale haunted attraction - fog-drenched trails, blood-soaked sets, and a cast of viral scare actors who have TikTok in a chokehold. Especially the two most feared and thirsted-after: Scorch - all chaos, cocky grins, and clown-paint madness. Warden - silent, sharp-eyed, and impossible to read. They're internet-famous for their terrifying personas and sinful good looks. Every post is a performance. Every scare is a show. And Lilah? She's been watching for months - liking, commenting, saving, replaying. But when she wins a contest to fly out and meet them, it doesn't feel like luck. It feels like fate cracking open. She didn't expect them to notice her. She didn't expect them to want her. And she never expected to want them back so badly it aches. Now she's being drawn into something far more intense than she imagined - something seductive, obsessive, and dangerously blurred between fantasy and reality. The line between being scared and being claimed has never been thinner. But maybe that's exactly what Lilah's always wanted. Because ever since a violent event in her childhood, she's known there's something wrong with her. Something dark. Something off. She's kept it hidden - the intrusive thoughts, the morbid curiosities, the part of her that flinches toward violence and never looks away. Under the blood-red lights of Willow Run, that darkness doesn't make her a monster. It makes her theirs. A why-choose dark romance filled with obsession, performance, and the monsters we secretly hope are real. Perfect for fans of haunted houses, morally gray men in face paint, and girls who are more unhinged than they look. ⸻ ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: psychological horror, dark romance, sexual content (18+), violence, blood imagery, trauma, manipulation, obsession, morally gray behavior, and emotional intensity.

Irresistible Deception
Deception is an irresistible thing. It shows you how far you're willing to go to get what you want. It shows you what you want to see, but in the end; it leaves you with nothing to hold. An illusion to take pleasure in but make you question reality itself. BLAIR ANDERSON is quite a...strange girl. Despite the mistreatment and emotional neglect from her parents, she believes that deep inside everyone, there's always good. Because of her too trusting nature and her desire for love and affection she never received, it may lead to her ruination when she meets AMEO ADLER, who can be too...calm in frightening situations, for a lack of a better word. He's someone with an insatiable, dangerous appetite that he tries to hide from her. He would go lengths to prove to her how much she means to him, but to what extreme will he do that? Should there be a limit until it's becomes destructive? She will quickly realise that Ameo isn't what he deems himself to be; whether it's a good or a bad thing. She will soon learn that there's a frail, delicate line between protective and possessive; attraction and obsession; the admiration for someone and the desire to own one's being. She will later understand that not everyone who saves you is your guardian angel; and that sometimes, the devil does the saving instead. What happens when he enters her heart bit by bit? And after she falls into his love trap, perfectly made for her, will everything change? Just what could ever go wrong when a fiery rendezvous ignites between a gullible woman and an artful man? Nothing. Right? *Disclaimer! MATURE Content* Read this with caution, as it might be too much for some readers.

Unspoken ▹ Teen Wolf [01]
❝Contrary to the popular belief, there's a very thin & fragile line between saying too much, and saying too little. More often than not, you'll find yourself unable to balance on that line & tipping to one side or the other, before inevitable falling. Whether or not there will be something there to catch you, that depends on how much was left unspoken.❞ There are things in life that we swear we'll never do. Some people pledge never to lie, others promise never to tell a secret; but of course, with a little time & persuasion, doing the action they vowed never to do is inevitable. Nearly everyone has made promises with a genuine sincerity in their hearts, only to later go & smash their promise to fragments with a sledgehammer- it's just what people do. No matter how hard they try & resist, if the thought remains bubbling in their mind for long enough, it's bound to boil over eventually Rachel Hale wanted to stay true to her promise. She swore she'd never go back to Beacon Hills after a fire killed nearly all of her family, yet when one of her two surviving siblings was brutally murdered within the confines of the town, she couldn't help herself; not after the arsonist who burned her life to the ground walked free. Alongside her older brother, Rachel went back to the damned town, & almost instantly fell head over heels into chaos- and took a whole lot of people with her. Before she even knew what hit her, she was fighting not only for her own life, but for the innocent people who didn't belong in a supernatural world like hers; innocent people she began to care more about than she was willing to admit. Unfortunately, for someone like Rachel who knows just how quickly everything she loves can be destroyed in a town like Beacon Hills, caring may turn out to be her biggest mistake.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
