The Darkness We Crave


Katie May - 2018
    On the beach drinking margaritas? In the arms of a lover? How about in a shit-ass resort run by your shit-ass parents? I have always lived my life as the perfect daughter. At seventeen, I had no other option than to follow my parents' strict regiment. Did I mention that they're assholes? The world didn't decide to suddenly end. Oh no, that would be too easy. Instead, it was a series of events that led to its eventual demise. Earthquakes, tornados, and a mysterious virus that turned people into raving lunatics. Fortunately for me, I have the help of seven handsome men to combat the coming storm. Literally. Declan, an enigma from my past. Ryder, a flirty musician. Asher, the sweetest boy I had ever met and probably the only one that I don't want to kick in the balls. Tamson, shy and timid, with a past I'm aching to uncover. Ronan, my sarcastic leprechaun. Fallon, the stoic leader. And, finally, Calax (but he doesn't really matter because I kind of hate him and want him to fall on his head and die). I will have to learn to rely on these boys and myself if we're going to survive the apocalypse. This is a slow-burn reverse harem series. Warning: This book deals with sensitive issues such as abuse, rape, and suicide that some readers may find triggering. Reader discretion is advised.

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.
