Caged Kitten
Rhea Watson - 2020
Seriously. I don’t.For as long as I can remember, supernatural clans took care of their own bad apples. Shifters, fae, vampires, elves, witches—we handled our crap quietly, efficiently, and within the confines of our community’s law.Until now, apparently.How else am I supposed to explain doing inventory in my café one minute, then waking up the next in a processing cell, cuffed and shackled to a chair, wearing a collar that mutes my magic?I’ve never gotten so much as a parking ticket before. I’m a witch without a coven, but I play by the rules. I don’t start beef with other supers. Me and my familiar—we don’t make waves. We like cozy, rainy Sunday afternoons and the smell of freshly baked bread.So, whatever they’ve got on me, it’s nonsense.I know, I know. That’s what everyone in Xargi Penitentiary says. Innocent. Innocent. Innocent.Only the creatures around me aren’t always so innocent, and even inside these four walls, trapped by wards and warlocks and wolves, my past is determined to damn me.Until I find a non-magical way out of this, my wits are all I’ve got.Well, my wits… and the gruff dragon shifter who looks at me like I’m treasure he’s desperate to hoard. The gorgeous fae who delights in the fact that I’m not impressed with him. Oh, and the brooding vampire who could tempt me into darkness with his smile.But I’m not here to make friends or fall in love.I don’t belong in Xargi Penitentiary, and if it’s the last thing I ever do, I’m getting out.Or… I just might die trying.Caged Kitten is a standalone why-choose paranormal romance and is part of the ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN series.

The Bloodwood Academy Shifter: Semester One
Rae Foxx - 2019
Bad joke or the start to the best time of my life? It all started when I was doing some bare-back riding with my boyfriend, Tommy, atop a rock in Middle-of-Nowhere, Nevada. In walks a wolf like he’s my mom on a meth trip, staring at us and growling like he’s an over-protective husband. Worse, according to Tommy, I’m growling back. Next thing I know, Tommy is halfway across the desert and I’m at an elite academy for Witches, Shifters, Vampires, and Fae looking like I was plucked out of the local trailer park. Oh wait, I was. Bloodwood Academy for the Supernatural has only one rule: Don’t mingle with students outside your race. So, of course, that just so happens to be the first thing I do. How can you say no to a Fae God with golden eyes, a moody Werewolf with pack issues, and a Vampire with magic fingers. My men are not only sending everything into a whirlwind, but now my life is in danger. It turns out that if I don’t go back to my single wide, some jealous females are going to rip my throat out. I need to figure out why I’m connected to all of them, and why the headmaster has it out for me, before I find myself ten feet under. At 90k words Bloodwood Academy is a full-length why choose romance with a snarky heroine, shirtless men, love scenes that will send you swooning, and no end to pulsing… muscles. It's not just Rae Fox, it's Rae Foxx. There's too much steam here for just one x.
Demon Study
Kendal Davis - 2020
The worst part? People kept telling me I was supposed to save the world. Shouldn’t there be a class for that? I’m Echo. I led a perfectly normal life until I had to transfer to a magic academy in order to escape the hellhounds in the hallway. Grimway Academy was not totally unlike my old college. There were rich kids who looked down their noses at me. Also, there were books. That was pretty much the end of the similarities. At Grimway, demons and humans had mingled together for centuries, keeping the universe in balance. Now, however, the spells that encased the ancient castle were growing weak. If they failed, chaos would reign. Everywhere. According to Grimway lore, I could develop my magic faster if I had sex with seductive demon men. Yes, please. Only when I’d attracted the loyalty of a sensuous vampire and a boisterous firebringer could I get moving on this saving-the-universe stuff. Add in a sexy, broad-shouldered prefect who was a dreamwalker, just like me, and I was a happy woman. Or...I was a cursed college student whose world was about to end in fire. Author’s Note: Expect steamy reverse harem scenes, with no crossed swords. This book is for a mature audience.
Surviving Year One
Cara Wylde - 2019
Just like all little girls, I hoped I was special and that one day my powers would be revealed. My parents would be bewildered, my friends would equally worship and envy me, and my bullies would run away in terror! Nothing happened when I turned 10. I didn’t grow wings at 12, still wasn’t able to make things move with my mind at 14, and at 16 I was already too old to believe in such nonsense. Well, what do you think happened the day I turned 18? I got the confirmation that I was only human. In the mail! Oh, and also an invitation to apply to the Grim Reaper Academy. Because, apparently, humans can be Grim Reapers, too. Fast forward to day one, semester one, year one. There’s a test! No one told me I’d have to take a test to enter! But there are only 22 Grim Reapers in the world, the competition is tough, so I guess it makes sense? If I pass, then I will be sorted according to what kind of Death I’ll make if I survive the rigors of the Academy. Merciful Death? Neutral Death? Oh, please God, don’t let me be sorted into the Violent Death Cabal! All the A-holes are there! And I don’t think I can compete with Holier-Than-Thou Sariel (cause he’s an archangel, you see), Jerkface-No-1 Pazuzu AKA Paz (cause all demons are major morons), Mr. Bow-To-Me GC Apis (ugh, false gods are the worst), and Francis (no idea what his deal is, he doesn’t talk much). But this is my chance, dammit! This is what I’ve been waiting for all my life! Okay, so I’m not a princess, or a mermaid, or Sailor Moon. But I can be a Grim Reaper one day. I’ll take it! ***Author's Note: This is book 1 in the Grim Reaper Academy series, intended for mature audiences. Please be advised that it may contain situations that are triggering to some, including explicit language and a lot of steam.
Bad Witch
L.A. Hart - 2019
Or so she thought. That was all before she was kidnapped by a scheming vampire and thrown into the secret world of supernatural beings at the Wicked Academy. The coven masters who run the academy insist that Harper is a witch, possibly the last one in the world, and that the fate of their kind is in her hands. It all sounds ridiculous to her, but either way, they refuse to let her leave. While being wooed by warlocks and stalked by Drake, an unapologetic vampire, Harper begins to fall for Rowan, a gruff shapeshifter who is the only good thing about her new life, even though he’s completely off-limits. When the masters eventually get tired of waiting on Harper to choose a warlock mate, they decide to take matters into their own hands. Knowing that none of her admirers will be able to reach her in time, Harper will have to figure out how to finally embrace magic and wield her new powers to save herself. And if there’s one thing she’s actually learned at the Wicked Academy, it’s that sometimes being bad can feel really good. This is the first book in the Wicked Academy series and is intended for mature readers.
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.
Wicked Wings
Elizabeth Briggs - 2019

Even if it means going up against my brother’s best friends, who know something about his disappearance and aren’t talking.
