Cursed by Wicked_C

"You were born a Vampire Hunter. You were trained one and above all, you got some freaky spell on you that binds you to the Vampire princess. And still you think it's not right to kill them all because they might be innocent." When greed and fear get mixed up with powerful magic, the outcome isn't always what we expect it to be. Young vampire Hunter Sky knows this more than anyone. After an experimental ritual that would bring vampire kind to their knees, the world turns against the blonde Hunter. While finding refuge in the most unexpected places, a much bigger threat comes to light. With the world too caught up in their fear for the young Hunter, Sky and her new friends must stop the danger themselves and bring balance back to the world. 🏅1st place winner of the Chromatic awards 2019 (genre vampire/werewolf) 🏅 🏅3rd place winner of the 2nd Ohana awards (genre vampire) 🏅 🏅 3rd place winner of the ScripturamAwards (genre Adventure) 🏅 ~ completed ~

Wyld Heart (Wyld Heart 1) by AJSCURRAH

Forsaken by the one person who was supposed to love her unconditionally, Red must brave the magic and monsters of the Wylds to find her true place in the world. ***** Plagued by a weak heart, Red is an outcast in the Blood Moon Pack, a tribe of savage wolf-shifters held together by two things: their fanatic worship of the Night Goddess, and the ashwood walls that keep the real monsters out. Everybody must pull their weight. Only the strong are permitted to survive... Hunter Callahan, son of the Blood Moon Alpha, is counted among the strongest. Only Red seems to sense the vulnerability lurking behind his arrogant mask. Only she can understand the compassion underlying his violence; the boy who took a beating as a child to spare a butterfly from having its wings clipped. She saw herself in that butterfly. She sees herself in him. And he can barely stand to look at her. ***** [65-70k words] Best Ranks: 13th in #Werewolf 1st in #paranormalromance, #quest, #goddess and #dragon 2nd in #magic Featured on the 2021 Wattys Shortlist.

Bleeding Blade ✓ by glynfrans

In her mind, she's doing everyone a great service, ridding the world of people who defile humanity, but if there's one thing she hates more than anything, it's pointless deaths. Though money is money, so where does one draw the line? Open Novella Contest 2021 Longlister #BadassReads Pick Written Feb 2021 - May 2021

amants maudits | (hiatus) by SaniCybele

When a powerful witch hunts the demons responsible for her parents' murder, she finds herself face-to-face with one of the very creatures she despises. But this demon is unlike any other. Dangerous, mysterious, and irresistibly charming, he offers her something no one else can-answers about her parents' death and the secrets of the dark forces that haunt her. As their paths intertwine, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never imagined. But trust is fragile, and the more she learns, the more complicated their connection becomes. Her mission for vengeance soon becomes tangled with her feelings for him, and a forbidden bond starts to grow between them-one that threatens everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and the demons she's vowed to destroy. In a world of curses and power, they are two souls bound by tragedy and fate. But their love, born from hatred and deceit, may be the very thing that destroys them both. Will she be able to choose between vengeance and a love that might just save her, or will their doomed connection lead to the death of them both? ----- Written for the Open Novella Contest 2025 Prompt 2 - To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist ----- Cover by @buterflx1 prologue at the end because of the prologue ban
