First Kill
Lucy Auburn - 2019
You’ll be on the edge of your seat!
I'm Ellen Arizona, and I'm a murderer. I know you've heard my name. They're all talking about what I've done. But no one really understands why I did it. And no one understands me. Except for the other killers at Cain University. The Cain graduate program for killers is the only safe place left for me. But it comes with a catch: leave, and the consequences are deadly. I need to stay. I have powers to train, and someone to kill next: the man who murdered my mother in cold blood. To get him, though, I'll need to survive the first year program. Easier said than done. Especially when I find out the four men I loathe, who hunted me and petitioned to kill me, are somehow connected to my powers. If we don't learn to get along, it could spell doom—for them and for me. First Kill is a brand new university-age first in a series, similar to The Magicians and Villain Academy. It has blood, gore, mature scenes, laugh out loud comedy, and a reverse harem enemies-to-lovers romance that will scorch off the pages. For readers 18+ only; please read the trigger warning inside.

As Mika adjusts to the life of a Vampire, a dark presence stalks her from the shadows. One of the residents of Dark River was her maker and her murderer. And they were determined to ensure that Mika never rested in peace.

Awakening Angel
Eva Brandt - 2019
I've never really believed in the idea of soulmates, but if I had, I suppose I might've seen it through the pink lenses of the romance movies that I enjoy more than I would like to admit. But movies aren't reality, and my luck has only ever been of one type—rotten. It stands to reason that my supposed love story and whirlwind soulmate romance turns out to be anything but rosy. It takes one single wrong decision, one night of reluctant clubbing, for my life to turn to hell. Suddenly I'm surrounded by shape-shifting assassins, vampires who say they want to devour me, and immortal princes who claim they can't feel. For some reason, more than one of them seems to think that I'm their soulmate, and that because of that, they need to die. To protect me from some awful, ancient curse, apparently, as if I'd ever ask for my life to be kept safe at the cost of their own. It's up to me to change their minds, because nobody else seems to have any sense whatsoever. Between having to wrangle suicidal soulmates, the mysterious voice that has suddenly popped up in my head and a strange power I hadn't even been aware I had, my hands are more than a little full. FML. Honestly, I really wish I'd stayed home and just watched a movie. How is this my life? Awakening Angel is a 84.000 words reverse harem dark paranormal romance that contains M/M content, cussing, violence and dark themes. Some readers may find certain elements disturbing.
