Intuition by Crystal St. Clair
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
MY NAME IS DESTINY, A FACT I APPRECIATE, SINCE I'VE ALWAYS
FELT LIKE I HAVE ONE.
I live in the fast lane, which runs right through a world of
expensive cars, designer bags, and top-of-the-line everything else – none of
which I get to experience.
I'm not fancy; I never have been. If there's one thing I
know, it's that the world is quick to put labels on everyone and everything,
but what a label can't do, is tell you who you really are.
I've come a long way from who I used to be. Ten years ago, I
was dependent on others, lacking in direction, and ... in love with Sebastian
Medina.
He captured me with his chocolate-brown eyes and his
reckless heart. I gave him everything I had to offer back then, even the most
sacred parts of my heart and body. When he left, he took my virginity with him.
My heart was in tatters.
So, I started trying to put the pieces back together. I went
to law school, became independent. Now, he's come back, and the only thing I
haven't been able to do is mend my broken heart.
I've followed my intuition, and let him back into my life,
but it's carried with it a price. His past has come to haunt us, and the life
I've carefully constructed for myself is in danger of being lost ...

"WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU?"
Most believe supernatural beings to only exist in fairy
tales. For Victoria Wesley, a hot-headed teenage witch with a chip on her
shoulder, the supernatural world is all too real.
Four years ago her parents were slaughtered for inexplicable
reasons. As the sole survivor of her family, Victoria sets out to bring their
killers to justice. In her determination to find out who was responsible she
meets a group of young witches and a mysterious vampire named Adrien who make
her question everything she thought she knew.
The world of the supernatural is far more complicated and
dangerous than she ever realized. When ulterior motives are revealed knowing
who to trust proves to be the hardest decision she’s ever made. When the lines
between right and wrong are blurred Victoria has to figure out how far you can
go before you become one of the bad guys. Will Victoria be able to get what she
wants without losing sight of who she is?
Will she make it out of this alive?
Wait For Me by Eleanor Green
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cooper Sterling has been in love with Briley Sheffield since
fifth grade, when he asked her to marry him on wide-ruled paper crafted into
the fold-and-tuck square.
But life isn’t that neat and tidy.
Years later, defending Briley from an attack lands Cooper in
prison, powerless to protect her and unable to convince her to wait for him.
When a failed engagement opens up the possibility of a
relationship with Cooper, a mysterious envelope threatens to slam shut every
door in Briley’s path. Now she must choose . . . risk the stability of
friendship she has with Cooper, or put everything on hold and solve the
mysteries of her family secrets.
Wait for Me is a steamy full-length, contemporary romance.
This is book one in the LoveStruck Series and can be read as a standalone.
Against The Darkness by A.M. Griffin
Genre: Dystopian, Young Adult
“Shayla,”
I say with my voice in a mixture of a whisper and whine. I’m scared to say
anything louder.
Stomp, stomp, slide.
My left.
I peer
in that direction, lifting my sword, pointing it to whatever will come at me.
It shakes in the air, my hands almost too unsteady to hold it.
Stomp, stomp, slide.
Shayla
approaches my back. “Your turn.”
Stomp, stomp, slide.
“Something
is here,” I choke out.
She
inhales sharply and steps back, away from me. Only after I feel the tug on the
back of my shirt do I realize that she has me, pulling me with her. I take a
slow deliberate step back and then another, letting her guide me as I keep my
eyes peeled for them. We move to the far corner of the room. All the while the stomp, stomp, slide comes closer and
closer, louder and louder.
Briefly
I wonder if they can hear it in the basement. They have to. Will they come up
and save us? Could they even risk it? I don’t think so. We’re on our own until
the aliens leave.
I know
we’re at the wall when Shayla stops abruptly and she leads me to rest my back
on the wall. We’re standing side-by-side, but I get the feeling that I should
stand in front of her. I’m the only one with a weapon. So I do.
“No,”
she whispers. “What are you doing?”
“I have
a sword.”
“Yeah,
one that you’ve been having for all but five minutes.”
“Shhh,”
I hiss.
After a
blink, it’s there, blocking the entrance. A lizard, green and scaly. Eight feet
tall, rippling muscles, staring at me with yellow eyes with black,
diamond-shaped iris.
How can a lizard be muscular? My mind screams.
I
whimper as it stares down at me, its breathing heavy.
A warm
rush of urine travels down my legs.
Shayla’s
scream seems to pierce through me.
“You
will submit to us.”
