First Term


Rachel Jonas - 2019

Some believe that, when I transition in a few months, there’s a slight, teeny tiny chance I could unleash hell on the supernatural world. Call me crazy, but I’d know if I harbored that kind of power inside me.… Wouldn’t I?My entire life, all I’ve wanted was to be normal. Hence the reason I didn’t think twice about trading in my crown for a stack of books. I’ve got four terms on this island to prove the naysayers wrong, including my chaperones—Kai, Ori, Paulo, and Rayen.These four are gorgeous, but also ominous as heck.

So, now they go out of their way to make my life a living hell, with hopes that I’ll give up and leave.Thanks, guys.You could cut the tension between us with a knife, but what’s weird is I don’t hate them all the time.

Chaos


J.B. Trepagnier - 2021
    But we don’t just allow anyone to get a library card. Need to summon a demon? Raise the dead? A clan of vampires bothering you? Do you like the really nasty werewolf erotica? The Library of the Profane has all of that, but not everyone can handle the contents (Some people can’t handle their werewolf erotica). I’ve been a librarian here for five years and when I say I killed to get this job, I’m not being facetious.You can’t check out our books. Some of the books are sentient and don’t like it. We have rooms to perform the spells in or hell, we do have a copy machine (copies are extra). When a witch came in and said they needed to do a little necromancy, I didn’t question it. They wouldn’t have been given a library card if they were going to raise someone really bad. I helped with the necromancy because it’s just my job as a librarian.Except it wasn’t a normal resurrection. It was the physical embodiment of Chaos and when he woke up, he saw me first and now he’s attached. Chaos personified is a horrible library guest and he won’t leave with the witch who raised him. He’s constantly getting into things he’s not supposed to and he’s really into the werewolf erotica.It’s not like I can let him out because the Library of the Profane is meant to contain Chaos. The rest of the world isn’t. He’s awful about keeping his identity secret too. A warlock, a Hellhound, and a vampire know he’s here and they are bugging me to let Chaos have a little fun. I just want a normal day of summoning demons, cursing people, and telling people to be quiet in my library. This is too much.

Awakening Angel


Eva Brandt - 2019
     I've never really believed in the idea of soulmates, but if I had, I suppose I might've seen it through the pink lenses of the romance movies that I enjoy more than I would like to admit. But movies aren't reality, and my luck has only ever been of one type—rotten. It stands to reason that my supposed love story and whirlwind soulmate romance turns out to be anything but rosy. It takes one single wrong decision, one night of reluctant clubbing, for my life to turn to hell. Suddenly I'm surrounded by shape-shifting assassins, vampires who say they want to devour me, and immortal princes who claim they can't feel. For some reason, more than one of them seems to think that I'm their soulmate, and that because of that, they need to die. To protect me from some awful, ancient curse, apparently, as if I'd ever ask for my life to be kept safe at the cost of their own. It's up to me to change their minds, because nobody else seems to have any sense whatsoever. Between having to wrangle suicidal soulmates, the mysterious voice that has suddenly popped up in my head and a strange power I hadn't even been aware I had, my hands are more than a little full. FML. Honestly, I really wish I'd stayed home and just watched a movie. How is this my life? Awakening Angel is a 84.000 words reverse harem dark paranormal romance that contains M/M content, cussing, violence and dark themes. Some readers may find certain elements disturbing. But if you're in the mood for something edgier, by all means, join my insanity!
