Deals with the devil are always tricky, especially when it was someone else who sold your soul to the devil. 

Faye Wulfgaar has always had bad luck. She figured it worked like a genetic trait: red hair, shy,  conscientious, and unlucky. 

She never thought she might be cursed.

But when her family moves back to the small town where she was born, a string of dark occurrences begin to make it clear that she does not know herself and her origins half as much as she ought--but others certainly do. As girls her age disappear into the Potomah Forest, they most often turn up again dead--if they turn up at all. Something prowls the Potomah woods, and it is seeking her.

Faye must uncover the truth of her family's legacy and her own powers before her curse and the Potomah Killer catches up to her.

Because what you don't know can always hurt you.

The Compound by LG97Sunshine

Magic? Nope. Hidden towns? Definitely not. Sexy mentors? Well.... oh, go on then. One minute, I'm stacking shelves, and the next, I'm whisked away to some mad place in the middle of the woods, being told I have powers. Sounds like a bad acid trip, right, but it turns out there's a lot of things that have been hiding in plain sight. Faye was just minding her own business until she bumped into a group of strangers on a night out. They open her eyes up to a whole new world full of magic and take her to the place she is to call home from then on, the compound. There are compounds all over the world hidden from the regular human eye. When she arrives, her life is full of drama, trying to learn about her gifts, make new friends, and simply just stay alive. Her mentor is supposed to be there to help her through things, but will he make her life easier or more complicated? My guess is the latter, but he is so gorgeous that a little complication is a small sacrifice to make. Dane just wants to get left alone. Ever since losing his brother, he's not been quite the same. Faye is forced upon him, and he has to try and train the new girl with a smile on his face. Easier said than done...

She was taken away to live amongst the Werecats, a hidden species of shapeshifters. They would teach her how to control her gifts with the elements (having particular trouble with earth) and how to live with the shift that occurred every night.

On a mission to explain to her aunt and cousin why she could never be with them again, Riley discovers that her place in Werecat society runs much deeper than she originally thought.

Changing Fate The Saga by Helio_Haemi

Three childhood best friends, bound by an unbreakable bond yet shackled by a generations-old curse, find themselves racing against time and fate. Their families, once loyal members of an ancient and secretive order known as The Circle, betrayed its sacred oath, and for that treachery, a terrible curse was cast upon their bloodlines. Now, each of them faces a grim destiny-if they fall in love, they will either meet their demise upon reaching the age of twenty-five or suffer the ultimate heartbreak by being betrayed by the person they cherish most. As they step closer to their inevitable fates, the echoes of their ancestors' mistakes loom large, threatening to consume them in a cycle of pain and loss that has repeated for centuries. But unlike those who came before, they are determined to fight back. Refusing to be pawns of an ancient vengeance, they embark on a desperate quest to uncover the truth behind the curse and seek out the elusive secrets that might offer them salvation. However, breaking the curse won't be easy. With shadowy forces working to ensure history repeats itself, they must navigate treacherous betrayals, buried secrets, and their own deepening feelings for those they dare not love. As their twenty-fifth birthdays draw closer, tension rises, and the weight of their choices becomes heavier than ever. Will they defy fate and shatter the curse that has plagued their bloodlines for centuries? Or will they succumb to the same tragic end that befell their ancestors, lost to the darkness of love and betrayal? Only time will tell if they have the strength to rewrite their destinies-or if they are doomed to fall like all those before them.
