Grave Mistakes


Ivy Asher - 2020
    You do stupid things. Like accidentally sign your soul over to Hell.When I interviewed for a new security job, I didn’t bat an eye that it was for a literal graveyard shift...headstones and all. I mean, at the hourly rate they were offering, who cares? I got this.Turns out, I’m not guarding a graveyard like I thought. It seems I’ve just walked my broke ass into protecting a Gate to Hell. Yeah…I don’t got this.Now I’m stuck in a terrifying new reality: a group of hot demons who act like I can solve all their problems, and a battle between good, evil, and balance.This will seriously teach me to read the fine print on Help Wanted ads. Good thing this job comes with a scythe. Maybe I can use it to stop them from dragging my ass into Hell.

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.

Veiled Wings

No need to do anything but show up and settle into my dorm.Pretty sweet.

Or pass a test?As if Fae Academy wasn’t hard enough, there are three guys that all want to date me.Wait, do fairies date? I think they have soul mates or something.
