Born of Embers

Turning eighteen and getting accepted into college brings me everything I need to escape from the nightmares of my past but I never could have imagined my nightmares - and dreams - were just beginning. Finding myself thrown into a world of fantasy, politics, friendships, and rules that are nearly impossible to understand, I feel like I’m drowning in a world of shifters I never knew existed. As I struggle to find my place and prevent my nightmares from tearing me apart, I find myself surrounded by an unusual group of sexy men. With Hiro, Killian, Theo, Damien, and Ryder I’m trying to become the woman I’ve always wanted to be, if my past, and my future, will let me. *Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse that some readers may find triggering.

Mutant Academy
Yumoyori Wilson - 2019
Tara’s a Mutant, superior in strength, psychic ability, intelligence, and skill. Now she’s been living with other captured mutants within the walls of The Fundamental Society. The Society’s mission? Gather the survivors, those Mutants that didn’t die in captivity, and use them as lab rats to further Human ingenuity. Tara assumes this is her life now, but a chance mistake leads to her escape. She tastes freedom, for precious, short minutes...and comes across a group of sexy, stern guys who happen to be Mutants – seconds before her electro-shock wristlet turns back on. She wakes up somewhere strange, but wonderful: Mutant Academy, a place where Mutants live and learn in harmony. It’s competitive, but it’s an opportunity that will allow her to leave her lab years in the past…forever. This is Tara’s first real chance at freedom, surrounded by those she can trust, grow, and love as a woman, rather than a living experiment. At least, it’s supposed to be. Even within the cloistered walls of Mutant Academy, not everything is as safe and sound as it seems. In a twisted game of cat-and-mouse, Tara must figure out who the real predator is — otherwise she’ll forever be the lab rat.
The Fairer Hex
Lidiya Foxglove - 2019
And not just a witch, but a witch who turned bad. My poor, sweet, normal dad wanted me to have a good college experience. Instead I get a magical offer I literally can’t refuse, from the world’s most elite school for warlocks. WARLOCKS. As in GUY WITCHES. Even though I definitely have lady parts, somehow I ended up at a warlock school to learn the gentlemanly arts (which are a lot more badass than, ahem, lady magic). Did I mention the witch world is stuck in the 19th century? Unmarried witches and warlocks barely see each other outside of society balls, which are still a thing. No one knows how I ended up here. I’m thrown into a whole new world where I am outcast and friendless, except for: —Firian, the enigmatic fox shifter who has been watching over me since I was born. —Alec, my new roommate, a sexy-as-sin incubus enchanted not to lay a hand on me. For safety. Or cruel and unusual punishment. —Montague, the black sheep of the school since he got turned into a vampire on spring break. —Harris, an arrogant ass from the most elite of all magical families. Okay, he’s not my friend but he’s Montague’s. I’ll work on him. My existence here breaks all the rules. Am I here for the right reasons? Or am I the pawn meant to destroy the very world I’m starting to love? When my magic proves stronger than anyone expects, and the school is attacked by a demon, I’ll need help from the four gorgeous magical men who are willing to break a few rules with me. They’re each forbidden to me in their own way, and the greatest danger of all might not be demons, but falling for them. All of them. This is the first book in A Witch Among Warlocks, so expect cliffhangers. It’s a medium burn reverse harem story intended for 18+, which means, BE PATIENT LIDIYA, YOU’LL GET ‘EM THERE. And I will, dear readers, oh, I will.
