Book Description

Cruel. Savage. Heartless. A few of many words that are whispered behind palms as I pass. A long, long time ago I stopped caring what other people thought of me and started embracing their fear. Fear is power. Fear is motivation. At least it is for everyone but the snarky little blonde that's been caught in my snare. She's nothing but collateral. Nothing but a nuisance. I've broken more wills than this Tinkerbell wanna be could ever even count and she will be no exception. I'll either get what I want or she'll disappear like the rest. There's no Pan in this story that can save her. She's only got me and unfortunately for her, there's no room for her in my obsidian heart. ------------------ This book contains themes that some readers may find triggering-details will be listed at the beginning of the book. Please read at your own discretion. ------------------ This Book Is Part Of The Twisted Tales Collection ***Twisted Tales Collection*** A collection of deliciously dark standalone retellings written by thirteen twisted authors. These aren't the fairytales your mother read you before bed, there are no knights in shining armor or fairy godmothers. But there just might be some whips, blood, and sexual deviants with dark enough pasts to haunt your nightmares and wet your panties.

Book Description

Many a tome has been filled with love poetry, the sort of stuff you read aloud to your sweetheart or include in your wedding vows. Those poems are usually filled with promises of forever and holding the object of your affection so dear that you'd never allow any pain or harm to come to them. This is not one of those tomes. These are the sorts of poems you shout at your demon lover, naked in the forest, covered in your own blood, and hoping to conjure up an evil great enough that it will consume all of humanity and set the world on fire. Don't actually do that and consider your triggers warned. This is a book of some of the darkest horror poetry of an erotic nature this publisher has ever read.

Book Description

In the riveting sequel to Ivory and Bone—the YA fantasy novel that New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman described as having a “richly crafted world of life-and-death stakes”—the story shifts to Mya’s viewpoint as vengeful adversaries force her to flee the life she once knew. After surviving the battle that erupted after Lo and the Bosha clan attacked, now Mya is looking ahead to her future with Kol. All the things that once felt so uncertain to her are finally falling into place. But the same night as Kol and Mya’s betrothal announcement, Mya’s brother Chev reveals his plan to marry their youngest sister, Lees, to his friend Morsk. The only way to avoid this terrible turn of events, Morsk informs Mya when he corners her later, is for Mya to take Lees’ place and marry him herself. Rejecting Morsk’s offer, and in an effort to protect her sister, Mya whisks Lees away to a secret island until things back home blow over. Mya soon realizes she’s been followed, however. Even worse, lurking deep in the recesses of this dangerous place are rivals from Mya’s past whose thirst for revenge exceeds all reason. With the lives of her loved ones resting on her shoulders, Mya must make a move before the enemies of her past become the undoing of her future.
