Interview With The Vampire.

What's in the heart of a Hyde? Is it purely dark and filled with hatred, or is it still possible to make it flicker? *** Tyler Galpin is done with mothers and masters. His heart can't take any more sorrows and rejections. He believes himself to be a lost cause. But yet, when Isadora Capri, the new principal at Nevermore Academy, offers him the opportunity to enroll in a special rehabilitation program for outcasts whose abilities have made them dangerous to others, he reluctantly agrees. The moment he steps into the school, the whispers and gasps start. They all fear him. Everyone but Wednesday Addams. She who saw him. She who freed him. She who he swore to kill. When another string of Hyde attacks occurs, Tyler becomes the prime suspect. With no one on his side, he is about to give up when an unlikely ally steps forward: Wednesday Addams. She believes he's innocent, asking him to aid her in the investigation. But they have to work fast, before Tyler is deemed too dangerous for the school and sent to another asylum. The hunt for the culprit leads right into Tyler's past and makes him question whether what he believes about himself is actually true. Perhaps it's not too late to make the heart of this Hyde flicker? *** This story is set in an imagined season 4 of the show. It's told entirely in Tyler's POV as he navigates Nevermore after having learned to control his Hyde (well, somewhat at least... you'll see!). It also features a slow burn (because I don't think there is any other way to do this, as there is a lot of healing and mending needed) romance between him and Wednesday.

Jeon Jeongguk is not just a demon-he is the Duke of Solraine, commander of its armies, and the kingdom's most dangerous weapon. Feared, respected, and untouchable, his life is one of cold perfection. He hates humans, hides behind his arrogance, and decides with a single glance who is worth trusting... and who deserves to die. A demon duke feared by all. And A cursed child with eyes too bright to forget. The moment his eyes found him. He took the boy into his world. Against reason, against the walls he built, Jeongguk takes him in. A single choice that unravels centuries of silence and sets into motion a fate he cannot ignore. He protects what the world has tried to destroy; in the quiet between curses and chaos, loyalty whispers the loudest, and some bonds are older than memory, deeper than reason, and heavier than any curse. A love that should have been theirs, yet the world refused to allow it. "It was never forbidden to begin with!" A destiny that cannot be undone. TopJk • BottomTae

After six years in a progressive French boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lady Alice returns to her family's estate in Surrey, dreading the fate that awaits her-- debutante balls, an arranged marriage, and a life she does not want. She would have preferred to stay in France, teaching and writing love tales rather than living one dictated by others. Once cast aside by her own father and a stepmother, Alice finds their sudden desire for reconciliation hollow. Only her childhood best friend, Michael, Marquess Lovelace, seems like a true comfort. But as she settles back into her former home, something strange begins to happen. A black rabbit, eerily familiar, appears in the shadows-- just like the one that belonged to Edmond, her long-forgotten imaginary friend. And then she meets Count D'Arcy, the enigmatic and elusive neighbour whose presence unsettles her. His eyes, his voice, his very being remind her of Edmond. Could it be him? Or is her mind playing tricks on her? As the social season unfolds, Alice finds herself tangled in a web of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. The past and present blur, forcing her to question what is real, what is illusion, and whether love can exist beyond the bounds of reason. In the haunting halls of her childhood home and under the watchful gaze of Count D'Arcy, Alice must uncover the truth before she loses herself to the unknown. ~~~ Book One of a Duology. Followed by Unravelling Le Comte D'Arcy (coming this autumn).

You survive a brutal storm. Separated from your family and washed ashore on an island where only men remain, you quickly learn that the men who live there do not age. They do not remember their lives before the sea. They have built a home from the wreckage of forgotten pasts. And until you, a woman has never set foot upon these lands. Your arrival unsettles everything. One sees you as his to contain. One has already decided what is best for you. One worships the ground you walk on. One watches you with an adoration that feels older than memory. As their suppressed pasts begin to surface, so does something darker beneath the island itself. Injuries no longer fade. Dreams return. Desire turns possessive. The fragile balance that kept the men docile begins to fracture. You are not their savior. You are the catalyst. And the more they remember, the more dangerous it becomes to belong to them. Because the island does not release what it has claimed. COVER ART BY: @spit_blossoms on TikTok!!!

Aisha Montana has lived her entire life caught between the living and the dead. Born with the impossible ability to see and touch spirits, she has never known what it feels like to belong. To ordinary people, she is strange. To restless souls, she is a miracle. When a violent encounter with a malevolent spirit leads her to Eclipsia Academy, a secret institution that trains those gifted in supernatural arts, Aisha hopes she can finally learn to control the power that has haunted her since childhood. Instead, she becomes the center of a conflict far older than the academy itself. Everything changes when she encounters Lucien Ravenhart, a mysterious ghost who has wandered the mortal world for more than four centuries. Feared by both spirits and exorcists, Lucien is a soul consumed by vengeance, stripped of nearly all his memories, and unable to find peace. Yet the moment Aisha touches him, the impossible happens. For the first time since his death, he feels warmth. Forgotten memories begin to return, and the endless pain that has tormented him finally fades. Realizing that Aisha is the only person capable of restoring his lost humanity, Lucien refuses to leave her side. In return for his protection against cursed spirits, rogue sorcerers, and monsters that lurk beyond the veil, Aisha agrees to help uncover the truth behind his mysterious death. As they investigate ancient murders, forgotten legends, and forbidden rituals hidden beneath Eclipsia Academy, they discover that Lucien's execution was only the beginning of a conspiracy that has manipulated history for centuries. Every clue leads them closer to a terrifying secret surrounding the legendary Sanctuary, a rare existence capable of preserving the balance between life and death. While dangerous enemies gather in the shadows to claim Aisha's extraordinary power, the bond between the living girl and the vengeful ghost grows stronger with every shared battle and recovered memory.

Every saint was once a sinner. Every monster was once a child. Max awakens alone within a place that was born out of nightmares.

Its monsters watch him with unsettling familiarity. And buried beneath its foundations are secrets that should have remained dead. As fragments of his lost past begin resurfacing, Max finds himself drawn toward a truth hidden behind symbols, experiments, and horrors born from human hands. But every answer comes at a cost, and with each step deeper into the nightmare, he begins to wonder whether the thing waiting at the end of the journey is truly salvation. Or merely another monster wearing his face.

Because in Blackmere, the sea never forgets.

At Noctis Academy, excellence matters more than survival. Seraphina Everhart has spent years building the perfect reputation: top student, flawless composure, complete control. Then Lucien Ashford happens. Arrogant. Brilliant. Infuriating. The kind of person who turns every argument into a game and every silence into tension.

Because at Noctis, not every student survives the pressure. And some rivalries were never meant to stay harmless. # Author's Note Every story begins with a small idea. This one began with rain against library windows, sleepless students, and two people who were never supposed to matter to each other this much. This is my first book, so thank you for being here and giving it a chance. I hope *Ivory & Ash* becomes a place you'll want to return to. Welcome to Noctis Academy. - Lunaria

In 1958, in rural Georgia sits a little town, Eden Grove, and on hundreds of acres of land sits the Eden Grove Orchard, the most successful peach farm in the Deep South. The townsfolk say its luscious peaches are larger than life, and people come from across the country to buy. The fruit itself is impossibly sweet, and the orchard has survived countless droughts that destroyed many neighboring farms. The owners, the Beaumont family, have become one of the richest Black families in Georgia despite living through generations of discrimination, violence, and many attempts to drive them from the land. Everyone envies them, some publicly, some privately. Nobody understands them either. And nobody is allowed into the Orchard after dark.

"Panahon na rin ang lumipas simula nang ikaw'y nawala. Sa isang marikit na ala-ala ay hindi ko maiwasang pigilan ang pagpatak ng aking luha, lalo na't lagi 'kong na-aalala ang iyong maamong hitsura at matatamis mong ngiti na nagdudulot sa akin ng saya. Sabihin mo, hanggang dito ka na lamang ba sa aking imahinasyong kay ganda, aking sinta? Hindi ko kayang kalimutan ka. Ikaw lamang ang nagbigay ng kulay at liwanag sa aking masalimuot at madilim na buhay, na tulad ng isang magandang nobela. Ako'y nangungulila na sa iyo. Hintayin mo ako. Hahanapin kita kahit saang sulok pa ng dako ng mundo, aking sinta." - Nicholas Penrose
