Signs of Cupidity
Raven Kennedy - 2018
Sure, I can blow some Lust into people's faces and watch the show, but I can't actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist's office, but I can't get any love for myself. It totally sucks. I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn't I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don't call us stupid cupids for nothing. I'm stuck in this never-ending afterlife where I'm invisible, lonely, and bitter as hell. And yeah, I'm probably responsible for some terrible matchmaking out there. Sorry, not sorry. All my bad cupid'ing might be why I was exiled from the human realm. You can only do so much before the cupid bosses get all huffy. Unfortunately, my bitterness carried over into the new realm, and then I attacked a fae prince with Love Arrows. Accidentally. Okay, not accidentally. But hey, he deserved it. What I didn't expect was for him to retaliate and hit my ass with some crazy magic mojo strong enough to push me into the physical realm. Whoa. That's right. This cupid just got a real body. And you know what that means...Now, it's my turn to get some. Love, I mean. Get your head out of the gutter. Wink, wink bitches. Author's Note: This is a medium-burn reverse harem story.

Nameless Darkness
Elle Lincoln - 2019
No matter how vital the perspective hindsight brings you, you can’t see it while you star in your own show. There is no glowing neon sign that flashes a warning. But looking back, I see it now. I see how messed up my life was, how horrible a person I had been. Looking back on who I was and the things I did makes me cringe. Now. But not then. No, then I walked through life enjoying every little nonsense my twenties threw at me. I embodied chaos. But the thing about chaos is that there should be order in it. Even then my chaos had no order and I did what I wanted, when I wanted. Damn the world. You wouldn’t have liked me very much. Consequences? I didn’t even know what those were. Morals? Those were for my parents’ generation. Ethics meant nothing. If you asked anyone, they would have told you I was living my life to the fullest. I wasn’t. That’s hindsight. I spent my days hazed out and destroying everyone around me by collecting their secrets. Burning bridges I didn’t even know existed. I hurt others with my words and my actions. I’m trying to tell you I, Bette Morgan, failed as a human being. So yeah, hindsight and all that. It took dying to realize how messed up I was as a person. Yet that was the easiest part of my story. Living destroyed me, broke me into a thousand little pieces no one could put back together. Not when I became something sinister, dark, and not human. My broken shell was given purpose that shattered me even more. Until them, even though they became the reason for my destruction. I only wish I’d known then what I know now... Nameless Darkness is the first book in The Raven series, a slow burn paranormal reverse harem story intended for ages 18+. This book contains strong language, violence, s****l situations, and a heroine who doesn't have to choose between her four men.
Fortune Academy: Year One
J.R. Thorn - 2019

I can relate to the monsters in ways the other students can't. My mentor, who is way too hot for his own good, tells me my behavior is the result of my memory loss and that I'm just trying to identify with a past pain that I've buried too far to feel. I think he's wrong. I think the reason I can't relate to any of the students is because I'm one of the monsters they're trained to kill. I don't fit into any of the supernatural cliques, but that doesn't stop me from collecting bullies. A brawny alpha shifter, a moody dark mage, and a playboy demi-god have decided to break me. They think I don't have any powers and that I was recruited by mistake. It'll be their funeral if they push me too far, because this girl isn't taking any of their shit. My name is Lily Fallen, but don't let my pretty face fool you. I'm a monster in a school uniform and it's only a matter of time before I teach my bullies a lesson they won't forget.
