Marked By Power


Cece Rose - 2017
    But nothing goes as planned when she attends the marking ceremony and all twelve marks appear. Kenzie lives in a world where being marked with six powers is normal, being marked with seven or more is rare. But being marked with twelve? Well, that’s unheard of. With learning about her new powers, the last thing Kenzie needs to worry about is falling for her hot teacher. Not to mention the unneeded distractions of the sexy twins, the jerk in all her classes, and her older brother’s best friend who finally seems to notice her. Romance and marked powers are never a good mix, not when there are people who desire her for more than her heart. Kenzie may not know, understand or want her twelfth power, but someone does. This is a reverse-harem series.

Ghosts and Grudges


Jasmine Walt - 2017

And between chasing after a medical degree, caring for her ailing mother, and running the family business, she's got plenty to deal with. Unfortunately, Aika doesn't have the luxury of ignoring her new abilities. An ancient, powerful evil has taken her mother hostage, and with cancer eating away at her life, the clock is ticking until Aika loses her forever. Luckily, a hunky—if occasionally infuriating—shaman has taken an interest in Aika, and is willing to show her the ropes and fight by her side. But the more time Aika spends with Raiden, the more she realizes that he might not be what he seems. The truth is just out of reach, and once Aika uncovers it, she'll either find the key to saving their world... ...or destroy the best thing she's ever had.
