Thicker Than Water by brennaiswriting

Bridget Sheehan has three major problems. 1. She is a vampire, and has no idea how it happened. 2. Someone is trying to kill her (most likely witches) 3. The handsome vampire who offered her sanctuary wants to... date her? After waking up in the middle of nowhere with partial amnesia, Bridget is whisked away to a mansion full of other vampires. But being the new girl is the least of her problems. Someone is trying to kill her and she has no idea why, the others in the mansion stare at her like they've seen a ghost, and the incredibly handsome and sweet vampire who has offered to protect her is far more virtuous than she had expected. Bridget must learn to hone her new abilities and trust those around her if she plans to defeat those who wish her harm. Because if she can't, her life (and the lives of every supernatural being on earth) will be at stake. --------------------- This story is complete, but I'm working on the first major edit chapter by chapter. *previously titled "Who Wants to Live Forever?" --------------------- 🥈2nd Place Winner of Ace Awards Supreme - Vampire/Werewolf 🥉3rd Place Winner of The Creative Awards - Vampire/Werewolf

Grasp Heart by FaeSparks

Sara Luzio has always known that it is her duty to safeguard humanity from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse isn't so safe. Vampires live down the street. Yet, unlike their blood-crazed kin, they exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to them. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. The story is being worked into an audiobook on Youtube via Text-to-Speech using ElevenLabs. Each chapter will eventually have a link. Or find me on Youtube at FaeSparksOfficial to listen to the book 1 playlist. *Will try to complete before 2025 Ambys* Cover by Canva.

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of.

Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone.

Since then, more than just Humans have been plotting to take down the dominant Vampire's and their reign. Queen Artemis of the Vampires sees the ever growing threats of the Werewolves and other kingdoms as trouble but she can't do anything about the other kingdoms until she quietens the Humans' rebellion in her own kingdom. Known as The Queen Of Nightmares from her brutal and fierce presence on the battle field and her reign as Queen over the Vampires. Soleil just wants to get through her life in this ever changing world. But that's a bit hard when Vampire's rule it; plucked from her town by demons called Vampire's she expects to be a blood slave. But what happens when the Queen takes a liking to her? Are things starting to change for the better? Her sun; her moon. This story will change from 1st person to 3rd and or back. This is also my first story about Vampire's and lesbian (plus soulmates) so it will most likely be cringy and stupid. I'm open to comments for improvement. But I hope you enjoy! #1 Bloodslave 06.05.25

With a fully paid for house and less bills on her shoulders, it'd be easier to focus on her career. What she did not expect to come with the house was the grumpy man who lived next door. After countless failed attempts to talk to him, Soleil figured it was best to stay on her side of the yard.

He swears to behave. A line has been blurred, one that was never truly there. And temptation would be the death of him, and his well-mannered values.
