Grim
Scarlett Snow - 2019
— What could be worse than getting hit by a bus? Waking up as Death’s new apprentice, that’s what. I already know how crazy that sounds. For 18 years, I was able to see the dead, so I pretty much managed to deal with a lot of unusual things in the world. I even learned to accept my strange, if not slightly annoying, ”I see dead people” ability. But the one thing that tipped me over the edge? I can’t drink coffee in the afterlife. Not even a sip. I know what you’re thinking. Surely things can’t get any worse than that? Well... I also have a rival apprentice who despises me, a quarterback ghost who won’t leave me the hell alone, a sexy angel determined to take me out on a date, and a silly little crush on my new boss. Yeah, you read that last part right. I have an aimless crush on the Grim Reaper, and no, he isn’t a hooded skeleton clutching a scythe. He’s a gorgeous man in a tailor-made suit and every word he utters fills me with desire...just like the others do, despite my best efforts to resist them. Unfortunately, a mysterious darkness is spreading through the human world, and Death has tasked me with putting an end to it. At least, that’s what I tell myself, as I quite possibly make the worst decisions of my entire life... Death’s Apprentice is a Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy. This series is a medium-burn romance filled with an extreme amount of dark humor, sarcasm, mystery, and a talking dog who is totally judging Sacha’s bad decisions in life. Buckle up, and get ready to join Sacha on her soul-reaping journey...and perhaps a little detour into Hell.

As our closely guarded secrets are laid bare, will we all come together? Or will everything fall apart…This series is intended for mature audiences. 18+ readers only!

Caged
Helene Gadot - 2020
Those of us with power are collected and stuffed into prisons. They found me when I was still just a child. I've spent my whole life caged, beaten and experimented on. I'm nothing but a nightingale shifter, little power to combat the torture. The last thing I ever expected was to find my mates in this hell, but they're brought in, snarling and furious and huge. Too bad if our mate bond is discovered, we'll be killed. And too bad they want nothing to do with a weak bird who can only run from danger. They don't have time for a mate when they need to work on their plan to escape and get back to the people who need them. They act like I do when I have plans of my own that don't include a broody incubus, a blood-thirsty unicorn, or a bratty vampire. Unfortunately, we may end up needing each other if we want to survive the Arcane Prison, much less find our way to freedom. This is a reverse harem prison series which means the FMC doesn't have to choose a love interest. If that or MM offends you, this probably isn't your cup of tea.
