A vampire mage and a modern cop team up to battle evil magic... 

When police sergeant Caro Harrington witnesses a man being killed by an invisible assailant, she suspects a detective agency with a reputation for solving "weird cases" might be her only hope. Especially now that she senses someone has been watching her ever since she saw the murder. But when Caro walks in the door, her own uncanny skills tell her these aren't ordinary men...especially Iain Keller, who, surprisingly enough, is the first person to believe her. 

Once a Persian mage, Iain is drawn to Caro in a way that no woman has ever attracted him. The magic glimmering within this mortal witch calls to his own, and the need to possess Caro drives him, until it's all-consuming. The vampire can fight it...or he can save her, teach her and damn himself.All Rights Reserved

A Drop Of Haunted Blood [PREVIEW] [WATTYS WINNTER 2023] by auroraanorth

[PREVIEW ONLY] WATTYS WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable. Be warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.

The Awakening by NarrativeNest8708

At 37, Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37. In the span of a single autumn, everything Cambry thought she knew about herself-and the world around her-was turned upside down. Strange dreams begin to haunt her nights, filled with forgotten symbols and places she's never been, yet feels intimately familiar. Her body begins to change in subtle, unexplainable ways: heightened senses, a newfound connection to the natural world, and the inexplicable ability to influence the elements. As the leaves fall, Cambry uncovers long-buried family secrets that reveal her true heritage: a powerful bloodline with ties to an ancient mystical order. The dormant magic within her awakens, and Emily finds herself thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient forces vying for control. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to allies and enemies, both human and supernatural, as she grapples with the powerful abilities she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so too does a looming threat. Cambry must learn to control the magic that now courses through her veins, or risk not only her life, but the fate of the world. In this transformative season, Cambry will come to understand that she is not just different-she is extraordinary. And the time for her true purpose has finally come.
