Stone Cold


Kate Nova - 2019
    Whispers surround me. Every time I walk down the halls of the academy, I’m terrified they’ll discover who I really am. If they do, I’ll never make it back to Mount Olympus so I can finally seek revenge on the god who ruined me. So, note to self: No flashing my scales, no showing my hair and absolutely no letting my eyes hit direct sunlight. It won’t be easy, especially with three devastatingly handsome shifters who seem intent on destroying me. A gorgeous griffin, a smoking hot sea dragon and a mysterious giant. Other girls see them as swoon-worthy jocks, but to me, they’re just ruthless monsters. Then again, so am I. I’m Medusa the Gorgon, after all. Cursed by the gods to be the most terrifying woman alive. It’ll be a challenge, but I’ve been through worse. I’ll survive, as long as I don’t break rule #2: Don’t fall in love with my enemies. Stone Cold is the first book in Kate Nova's Gods & Monsters series, a medium-burn reverse harem story. If you love fierce heroines, hot alpha men, why-choose romance, and fantasy with lots of twists and turns along the way, you'll love this story.

Spells and Necromancy


Candace Wondrak - 2018
     For Lena, a mage in Rivaini’s College, that cost has always been great. Almost too much. It's why she refuses to cast spells when she can. But fate and destiny won’t wait for her. It will come whether she’s ready or not. And she won’t be ready, because when she gets involved in magic, bad things tend to happen. Death, an uncontrollable fire…oh, and black magic. Forbidden magic that was outlawed in Rivaini centuries ago. If the King or the High Enchanter catches wind of what she’s capable of, her execution will be swift. She knows that. Still, somehow Lena happens to stumble across an ancient tomb of heroes. Even worse, she accidentally raises the entire crypt in a fit of uncontrollable magic. Most end up being nothing more than skeletons, but two are more. As in, handsome and practically naked more. Tamlen and Valerius. Enemies from a time long past, but together they make her feel things she never thought she’d feel. Normal, loved, desired. Having thralls, being a necromancer—not something Lena wants.

How To Raise The Dead


Leigh Kelsey - 2019
    Kati’s first term at Second Breath Academy is off to one hell of a start. All Kati Wilson wants is to keep her head down, ignore the rumours about her brother, and avoid anything that qualifies as danger, drama, or evil deeds. But the academy has other plans. Completely against her will, Kati finds herself lumbered with two perky, over-enthusiastic friends, the centre of attention in every class, and fending off dark dreams that suggest not everyone will survive the term. Not to mention there’s a prophecy that says Kati will vanquish a great evil. At least there’s the sweet, handsome guy who sees Kati as more than the sister of a maybe-evil-mastermind. The bad news is he’s utterly, irrefutably Off Limits. Because he’s her death magic teacher. And that comes scarily close to drama. But at least Kati will get through the rest of her time at Second Breath Academy without encountering danger or evil deeds. Right…?

SBA is slow burn RH and builds with each book. This is a full-length novel at 71,000 words. All characters are adults.

The only way I can walk amongst the living? Glamour magic sustained by faerie blood. But with my blood donor dead, and a religious cult trying to kill me, I might actually have to accept help from the House of Gray and Graves, a fae court made up of human souls and madmen. My goals now are simple, but not easy: 1. Cross the veil into Faerie where the chances of making it back alive—or even undead—are slim. 2. Find the blood I need for my glamours, and get back without losing my soul to a banshee, kelpie, or other supernatural baddie. 3. Get home safely and break up with my necromancer/boyfriend and hope he doesn’t send me straight back to the grave. Oh, and try not to fall in love with one or both fae men. Hmm. And I thought being dead was hard. This is way worse. Welcome to a place of lost souls; welcome to Faerie.
