Four long and lonely years later, Henrietta is still on the hunt, killing any bandit she stumbles upon. Her revenge never quenched, she seeks out the master pupeteer behind them all. Over the years, the Crimson Band quieted, with only tiny breadcrumbs left for her to follow.
The monsters of old resurface from the underground, and Henrietta suspects the bandits at fault. Finally reaching the end of the trail, she faces the people she spent years looking for. But things are not as they seem. Henrietta's world turns upside down, her vengeance upturned as her plans change in finding the one truly responsible for her brother's death.
On the way to find her revenge, Henrietta uncovers new truths, rediscovers herself, finds love she did not seek and helps prevent the rise of Mor, the God of chaos himself.

Alive With The Dead
The world didn't end all at once-it unraveled slowly. Quietly. While no one was looking. Neve, a introverted 17 year old, was always good at noticing things. The way her neighbors' pets started vanishing. The way the news anchors stumbled over their words. The way her school suddenly cared about checking students for "fevers" but never offered explanations. Still grieving her mother and lost in the silence of her own home, Neve watches as the world slips further from normal-until the night the power goes out. Until the night she sees a man, gaunt and bloodied, standing in her backyard. Watching her. After that, everything falls apart. As cities burn and the dead walk the streets, Neve is forced from the quiet life she knew into a fractured world ruled by survival, instinct, and impossible questions. Who can be trusted? What do the revenants-the "turned"-still remember? And how much of yourself can you lose before you're no longer human? Alongside Jace, a guarded 19 year old, a boy with his own shadows, Neve walks a path littered with broken people, fading memories, and echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. Her journal becomes a guide, her sketches a record of what the world used to be-and what might still be worth saving.. She meets people. She loses them. She learns to trust, and she learns to grieve. But most importantly-she survives.Complete
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete

Sins and Secrets Book 1: "How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists. "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb. "Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Cara Eldoran. I am one of two Alpha's within my pack. Two years ago, I stood frozen to the ground and watched as someone I loved killed my older brother in front of me. There were no screams or tears. My whole body had gone into shock, and I was left to watch the horrors unfold in front of me. But I will lose no one else. Alpha's are going missing. They are being taken from their homes in the middle of the night and are never seen again. Sometimes I wish that being taken was my biggest problem. That all I had to worry about was making sure my windows were locked at night and that I was safe in the arms of my mate, but there is much more at stake then most realize. I vowed revenge for my brother the day he died, and I will stop at nothing to get it. Not even the dark secrets that could destroy me will stop my lust for vengeance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Complete

Three kings, One mistake
"COMPLETED" Kaela is a fierce and complex character, born to four incredibly powerful beings: a werewolf, a vampire, a dragon, and an omega. While her birth was a stunning event, her family expected greatness. But what they got was a girl who didn't fit the mold. Unlike the Lycan King, born with immense power, Kaela was perceived as weak, lacking the same aura of strength. Her family-her parents, and especially her mates-mocked her, rejected her, and made her feel like an outcast from the moment she was born. But Kaela has a fire within her that can't be snuffed out. Bullied by everyone except her omega father, she grows up with an unrelenting determination to prove them all wrong. She finds solace in music and dance, her only outlets for expression. When her own brothers frame her for a crime she didn't commit and she's exiled from her pack, Kaela could've given up. But instead, she rises. With a billion-dollar check from her omega father, she redefines herself-turning her pain into power. Now a famous artist, Kaela is ready to take on the world that abandoned her. Her ex-mates-once the Lycan King, Vampire King, and Demon King-are about to find out just how wrong they were to underestimate her. But Kaela is more than just revenge; she's a woman on her own terms, unbothered by those who once thought they could control her. With three kings who once rejected her now desperately wanting her back, Kaela is the one in control-and she's about to make them regret the day they let her go.Complete

She escaped and her rage now falls on the others of his kind. Her goal is simple: take down the bad guys with her fun neuro-electric powers and snarky humor until one of them finally kills her.
