[Spoilers for "Dance in Shadow & Whisper", book 1 of the Marionettes of Myth series!]

She stepped through the doors of eternal night.

Now the king of the night won't let her go.

Two months have slipped since the collapse of the overpasses. Finally Kali and her family-friends included-have moved into a new house to begin their lives afresh. Kali has had the chance to consider her feelings for Yuuhi-and her more intimate desires. She's survived bullets and crushing rubble, yet the question of sex still turns her bright red.

But the river has been flowing silently. War trickles into the cracks of the city and floods their lives when something arrives at their doorstep that promises to take away the very people Kali fought to protect. An army will come for them-an army they can't conquer, not as they are. The impervious law of the Vampire Alliance Court will crush them.

It's then that Kali realizes Cassius has ensnared them all. He's had them since the beginning.

And only the gods can help them now.

Dance in Shadow and Whisper (Marionettes of Myth #1) by SarahandVictoria
27 parts Complete
Kali has always been obedient, but when she takes her first step onto a protected “humans only” high school in suburban Pittsburgh, she knows she was the wrong choice for this mission. Ever since the murder of her parents when she was too young to remember, she’s been sheltered – and trained. She can swing a sword with expert precision, but studying popular human teen magazines hasn’t taught her how to masquerade as seventeen years old. Jason is the target of the mission. She and Yuuhi, who was also designated by his own people to be her partner, must find solid proof that Jason is, in fact, a supernatural phenomenon. Yuuhi sees little more than a socially inept emo kid dressed in conflicting shades of black, but Kali only touches Jason’s hand, and she feels the sting of something dark and deadly. Jason’s shadow is bigger than he is, and if the leaders of Yuuhi’s people find out, Jason won’t be human much longer. The goal of the mission is to protect him, but Kali will find that the only way she can do just that is to break every rule she’s been conditioned to follow. She’ll have to learn how to disobey. Beginning with Kali’s point of view and then shifting to the eyes of other characters, the Marionettes of Myth series introduces Pittsburgh as a superhuman metropolis, a world both wild and conquered by the monsters buried in its seams and darkest shadows. And those monsters will be watching her. ♦ Completed! ♦ [Copyright © 2013 Sarah Godfrey & Victoria DeRubeis] (All current books in the series are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format.

Daughter of Nyx (Book Three) by StephanieYarns
23 parts Complete Mature
Reaching a decision that will forever change her life, not to mention the fate of the world, she seeks out the one person that can give her the strength she needs. However, she knows that this help won't come easy. Or painless. What she doesn't realize is that the Sons of Iapeth are on the hunt and should she get the help she desperately desires, they will come for her. With one group hunting her and another group hunting those she loves, the walls are closing in and time for them is running out and just as it seems there may be moonlight in her future, she lets her guard down and may pay the ultimate price. THIS IS THE THIRD BOOK OF THE (what was supposed to be trilogy, but it's looking like four... I hate me.) FOUR BOOK SERIES. If you start here, you will be HELLA confused. Please go back to Daughter of Night (A daughter of Nyx novel) STANDARD DISCLAIMER!!! THERE WILL BE SEXY TIME. There will be a lot of it. There will also be things that happen that might be uncomfortable to read. I can't apologize, because this is the story. I HOPE I gave enough warning to what was coming in the last book to not shock anyone. But here's your warning. THINGS MIGHT CHANGE as I am not finished with the novel. If things do, I will post an A/N alerting anyone to the fact, with the date, so you know if you need to check up on it. Because I still have SO MUCH STORY to go, I'll post the first three chapters now, because I feel safe that they won't change. After that I will post a chapter every other day. When I finish, I'll post the rest of it at once. Okay, so, not that I have written a novella here, I will start posting the novel. To my returning readers, I love you all, so fucking much!

Delilah "Del" Cross went into the woods with the express purpose of never coming back out. However, death was interested in someone else that night. Del finds a murdered young woman, who soon rises from the dead as a zombie. Del is brought into a very special community living in happy isolation within the beautiful Whisper Valley. There creatures of myth and legend live together in harmony, following a strict set of rules that allow them to be who they are but also enjoy modern amenities like a steady Wifi connection and the latest smartphone. They all just want a normal life that's free from persecution by humans. For them, humans are instead seen as a commodity. Specifically they're known as the "Bodies" and they all have one year to either be sponsored or converted by one of the town's supernatural citizens. Del fills the vacancy left by the corpse in the woods, Calista Nightgrave.

Reborn: The Allies of Old (Book One) by LinnetMc
8 parts Complete Mature
Nineteen year old Anna Preston appears to lead a life typical for a young woman in modern-day America. But she has a secret. For the past three years she's been seeing shadowy figures mingling with the populace. Made of smoke and vapor with a vaguely human form, they are not overtly threatening, but in the recesses of her mind there are whispers of nightmares long buried and forgotten. Jared is of a race created solely for the purpose of protecting humankind from demons, and for the first two centuries of life he was fully devoted to the service. Until the very ones he protected repaid him by destroying everything he ever loved. For decades Jared's hatred of humans was a living thing, but time has a way of dulling strong emotion and centuries later he is mostly indifferent. But when he learns a vial of his blood is being used in depraved activities, a long forgotten past comes hurdling back. ** Humans, Vampires, Faerians, and Shifters once banded together to fight their common enemy, but it has been many centuries since the demons presented a real threat to the world- and in these modern times most are oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond their perception and mankind has reduced both allies and enemies to fairy tales and boogie men. Signs are beginning to appear that allude to this threat rising in power once more, but with the alliances largely broken and those still continuing the fight few and far between, the human race is on the precipice of a grave danger that could threaten their very existence. And so it is of dire need for the allies to gather together once more. Ancient prophesies will soon begin to surface, one in particular that speaks of a unifying force initiated by the unlikeliest of beings...
A girls prophecy by brelovesgiyuu
7 parts Ongoing
Kira Villarreal was just a regular seventeen-year-old, living an ordinary life in a sleepy town-until the night that shattered everything. What was supposed to be a fun party with her three best friends quickly descends into chaos when gunshots ring out, and in the middle of the panic, something unimaginable happens. As a bullet hurtles toward her friend, time slows, and with a surge of raw power, Kira stops the shot in midair. That night, Kira and her friends' lives change forever. They soon discover they're far from normal teenagers. Each of them harbors a unique, untapped power, and together, they're something far more significant-the "Keys," beings destined to unlock the gateway between the human and magical realms. But with great power comes even greater danger. Hunted by ancient enemies, rogue sorcerers, and forces that want to use-or destroy-them, Kira and her friends are thrust into a world of magic and peril, where every choice they make could tip the balance of two worlds. As they grow into their powers, they must learn to trust each other and face challenges that will test their bond, their courage, and their very identities. Each revelation uncovers a new layer of the mystery behind their existence, but the deeper they go, the darker it gets. Old loyalties are questioned, secrets are unearthed, and sacrifices will have to be made. Can Kira keep her friends-and herself-alive as the weight of saving both worlds falls on their shoulders? Or will the darkness close in, forcing them to choose between survival and their humanity? With action, unexpected humor, and devastating twists at every turn, this is Kira's journey, where magic, danger, and friendship collide in ways no one saw coming.
