I don’t give five stars to books very often, but Heartless Hunter deserves every single one of them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky

About halfway through the Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, and I cannot tell you how much I wish I could stay up reading all night to finish it. Being an adult sucks sometimes. #booksky

Look, I use alchemy to convert water & beans into coffee, then I convert coffee into secrets, secrets I then whisper into a magic box made of dead dragons & rare metal. The box sends these secrets to you inscribed on the skin of a dead tree & you have hallucinations.

ONE DARK WINDOW x IMMORTAL DARK Nocturne's halls hold secrets darker than Alyss ever imagined. With sinister professors & corrupted moon magic, she'll need to work with her ex, his new girl, & an infuriately charming vampire to avenge her sister's murder. #QuestPit #Q #YA #DF

A Memory of Moonkissed Malice
Villain Era Protag
Frenemies to Lovers
Queendoms
Found Family
Fantasy Dark Academia
Vampires
Feminine Rage
Corrupted Moon Magic

The Pitch
18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school’s guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic, and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most.

Chapter One
The rain made it easier to rob his grave.
My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night’s whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us.
Us.
As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

For Fans Of...
The lush, gothic prose of...
A fantasy academia setting like...
A murder mystery similar to...

When Edwardian heiress Celia accidentally makes a deal with a charming demon, she must break the contract before his presence threatens her advantageous betrothal—and her heart. EMILY WILDE x HALF A SOUL Slow burn, reluctant allies-to-lovers, forbidden romance #QuestPit #Q #A #HR #PR #RF

Eight images depicting a blonde haired man, a painting of a demon, an open book, a hand touching a woman's chin, a man and woman in period clothing sitting beside each other, a classical painting of a woman, a formal old fashion room, and the back of a brown haired woman's head wearing Edwardian attire

When her thieving rival steals the ancient relic of a vampire she’s now accidentally blood-bound to, Meryn is forced to help him retrieve it. With her blood as ransom, their dark bargain leads to desire—but at what cost? Dracula x Bridgerton x Tethered #questpit #A #RF #W

A nighttime scene in a dimly lit but warm carriage with rich, dark colors and a soft glow of candlelight. Meryn, dressed in a pastel green-blue off the shoulder dress, sits in Vale’s lap. Her chestnut brown hair spills down her back. They’re gazing at each other intensely; she has her hand on his cheek, and he is holding her at the small of her back. Vale’s dark gold hair touches his shoulders; he’s wearing a regency style shirt and a black waistcoat.

An illustration of my characters — Meryn and Vale — in an almost kiss, blood running down her neck from Vale’s vampire bite. They are dressed in regency inspired clothing; Vale with his shirt open and Meryn in a moss green dress.

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME
The Pitch
When Gwen was a girl called Wendy Darling, she met someone who promised her freedom and love, and all it cost her was her humanity and everyone she ever loved. A century later, she’s trying to claw some of it back thanks to a 15yo named Mona, who’s awakened a long lost sense of family.
When Capt Hook was a girl called Rosie, she met someone who promised her adventure, and all it cost her was her family and sense of security. After twenty years of fighting monsters shaped like children, this pirate captain is running out of steam, until her long-time nemesis gives her an ultimatum she can’t refuse.
Forced to work together, the cranky immortal and smug pirate will have to put aside their animosity and work together to save a family neither knew they needed. Along the way, they might find the love of a lifetime…if they don’t kill each other first.
Artwork from Peter & Wendy (1911 ed.) by J.M. Barrie, illustrated by F.D. Bedford

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME
Excerpt
‘All children, except one, grow up.’ That is how the classic line goes.
When I was nineteen-years-old, however, I learned the tragic lesson that that wasn’t always the case.
Disease ruthlessly ravages innocent lives, while famine mercilessly snatches away their dreams. Violence lurks within the depths of strangers' hearts or, more tragically, a family member’s. And let us not forget the sheer cruelty of random happenstance, which has regularly inflicted its unspeakable horrors upon them. Throughout the annals of time, no demographic has endured more anguish and torment than those innocents who never had the chance to experience the complexities of growing up.
And amidst this unfathomable sorrow, for longer than our history can even dare to measure, there has existed the enigma of Pan, the taker of children…my tormentor…
