Gangs And Ghosts
Katie May - 2018

I rely on stories from my fathers about this supposed imaginary friend. Got into a fight at school? The Shadow Man made me. Stole from a store? He forced me to. Snuck out of the house? He came with me. I had almost completely forgotten about him. Until I move into the horror house - the house rumored to be a gateway to hell. Strange things keep happening, and I am helpless to prevent them. More importantly, people keep dying. Particularly, people that harm me. It’s already a struggle to survive a new high school and town (including the attention of a dangerous gang), but now I have to survive ghosts too? One thing becomes painstakingly clear: The Shadow Man wants me to come home. This is a young adult, slow-burn, horror reverse harem romance. It is the first in a series and WILL end in a cliff-hanger!

Demon Study
Kendal Davis - 2020
The worst part? People kept telling me I was supposed to save the world. Shouldn’t there be a class for that? I’m Echo. I led a perfectly normal life until I had to transfer to a magic academy in order to escape the hellhounds in the hallway. Grimway Academy was not totally unlike my old college. There were rich kids who looked down their noses at me. Also, there were books. That was pretty much the end of the similarities. At Grimway, demons and humans had mingled together for centuries, keeping the universe in balance. Now, however, the spells that encased the ancient castle were growing weak. If they failed, chaos would reign. Everywhere. According to Grimway lore, I could develop my magic faster if I had sex with seductive demon men. Yes, please. Only when I’d attracted the loyalty of a sensuous vampire and a boisterous firebringer could I get moving on this saving-the-universe stuff. Add in a sexy, broad-shouldered prefect who was a dreamwalker, just like me, and I was a happy woman. Or...I was a cursed college student whose world was about to end in fire. Author’s Note: Expect steamy reverse harem scenes, with no crossed swords. This book is for a mature audience.

Magic of the Void
Lena Mae Hill - 2017
That is, until she’s attacked and mortally wounded. That tips her off pretty quick. Luckily for her, a sexy warlock from the nearby coven saves her life by transferring some of his magic to her. Not so luckily, the "gifted" magic turns Sagely into a witch herself. The magical powers aren't bad, and the fact that she gets to choose a collective of supernatural men to protect her has a certain appeal. But being a witch is not all brews and broomsticks. Magic comes with deadly consequences, especially for someone who has just a *bit* of trouble controlling her impulses. Just when Sagely gets a handle on her magic, the unthinkable happens. The coven discovers the legendary art of void magic locked inside Sagely. And suddenly, every supernatural creature in the world wants a piece of her. ***This is a slow-burn Reverse Harem series of FULL-LENGTH novels set in the 80's, suitable for ages 16+. If you're more of a OTP (one true partner) kind of reader, you might try my Girl Among Wolves trilogy, set in the same world, in modern times.

And I’ve got a year to get it under control at this magic academy that’s basically a finishing school for the elite. Everyone here is somebody important. And rich. Except for me.

Oh yeah, and add in the fact that someone is trying to kill me.
