The stories were all wrong — Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken.

Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

But it’s pointless.
Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If

When it came to Romeo and Juliet, a kiss was never just a kiss.

The Brotherhood.

There was only one way in and one way out: death.

Power.

That was the code we lived by. It was like a religion in our world. Men would fight for it. Die for it. Kill for it.

Sacrifice.

It was a way of life. Family. Freedom. Our very souls. Everything we had came at a price.

They tried to break us.
They almost did.
But we're not going anywhere.

The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don't know what's coming. Fighting them one on one isn't an option so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won't be easy, but if we pull it off, they'll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

If you’re looking for a book that will push ALL of your limits then this might be the perfect read for you. Just don’t read it on a full stomach!

In this town, I’m free from shame
A place where everyone knows my name

Glamorizing corpses to feed a need
That’s why they call me Skeleton King

They all worship me, but they don’t know the real me
All they see is my painted face

Truth is, I’m terrified, all the hope inside me died
Death and cold will forever be my morbid fate
Then she showed me something more
Somehow stealing deaths allure...

Trigger Warning: This book contains many triggers and this warning should be taken seriously. The sexual and graphically depicted scenes in this novel are not for the squeamish and will be disturbing for some readers.

THERE ARE NO SAINTS BY SOPHIE LARK

Sophie Lark pens a twisted tale in this serial killer romance! I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did but I think I’m sold on the trope now.

I loathe Alastor Shaw.

The city of San Francisco thinks we’re rival artists.

In truth, we’re predators battling for hunting ground.

We never chased the same prey. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch.

Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game.

I’m fixated on her for a different reason…

She makes me feel things I never thought I could feel. Want things I never wanted.

Only she can make me lose control.
