I’m determined to finish this, once and for all.

Mila
For years, I spent days on end putting broken minds back together, believing that I could understand how the darkness seeps into the human mind. That was until I was asked to step into a world I was never meant to be in. Lies, deceit, secrets, and threats I can’t name, all surrounded by shadows that threaten to swallow everything I fought to protect. I built sky-high wells around my thoughts and heart in order to survive. The deeper I go, the harder it becomes to separate who I am from who I have to become. When the darkness finally lets me go, the only question is whether I will come out untouched or if a piece of me will stay in the depths where it doesn’t belong.

Blood Reapers
We are forged in blood. Shaped by fire. The darkness that surrounds us is second nature to who we are. Everything that doesn’t want to see the light of day remains hidden in the dark. We work to make sure the secrets are dragged out. Then, she entered our world. She’s too determined, too fearless, and much too willing to carry the trauma that no other individual is brave enough to face. She hides herself behind the walls she thinks we can’t break, but we are the ones putting the cracks into her foundation. We know the monsters by name and know how they wait in the shadows to attack. Let the darkness come, let it try to take what is ours. We will meet it with fire, fury, and with the bloodshed that can only be understood by monsters alone.

Welcome to Veilcrest! Revenant is here and I am so excited for everyone to sink their teeth into this beauty!

This is the perfect fall read to cozy up with and get lost in the halls of an ancient ivy league school full of secrets and even more mysterious unnaturally gorgeous men 😏

Veilcrest keeps its secrets the way the dead keep their patience—and some things always claw their way out of the grave.

Alicent Calder doesn’t remember applying to Veilcrest Conservatory, but the moment she steps through its gates, three thousand miles from a home that never wanted her, her blood becomes the key to a centuries-buried betrayal.

She came to chase a future. The acceptance letter was a beacon of hope in a world full of uncertainty, a place she thought would offer a fresh start—one she can’t seem to find since her parents’ death.

Instead, she finds a power humming beneath her skin, a name older than the school’s creation, and the unshakeable sense that this place has been waiting for her all along.

However, it’s not until a dead body, completely drained of blood, is found that she realizes there’s something much more sinister lurking in the dark.

Five vampires rule the hidden halls of Veilcrest. Cursed and condemned to the property, they’ve stopped at nothing over the centuries to find a way to break the spell holding them captive. Freedom is finally in their grasp, but the one thing none of them counted on was wanting her.

As Alicent learns to wield magic she never knew she carried, the fine line between hatred and hunger blurs, and the men who were only ever meant to use her begin to fall for her instead.

🩵Tropes:
💜 Why Choose
💜 Witches & Vampires
💜 Secret Society
💜 Ancient Curse
💜 Urban Fantasy
💜 Dark Academia

Spicy Tropes:
He keeps her panties
Bloodplay
Voyeurism
Comes in his pants
He's pierced
Aftercare
Wears their clothes

The Broken Hymn releases Oct. 6, 2026 bringing with it Malek Vane 😈

After the Reckoning, the South didn’t die.
It turned holy.

The world ended in fire, ash, and scripture. What crawled out of it wasn’t civilization. It was enclaves, trailer-kingdoms, and cults that learned how to turn fear into law.

Selah Crow has spent her whole life behind a fence she thought was built to keep monsters out.
She was wrong.
It was built to show them exactly where to find her.

When the Iron Gospel comes for her, they don’t come screaming. They come like a sermon. Quiet. Certain. Hungry. By morning, Selah’s life is soaked in blood, her sister is gone, and the only man dangerous enough to help her is the one every ruined thing in the South knows to fear.

Malek Vane.

The Crownless Wrath.
The monster the cult raised and the man who doesn’t kneel for God, scripture, or saints.
Malek knows what the Iron Gospel wants from Selah. He knows why the Hollowborn listen when she screams. And he knows saving her might mean dragging them both back into the holy rot that made him.

Selah should run from him. From his violence. From his secrets. From the way he looks at her like devotion was always meant to have teeth.
But in a world where prayers rot, monsters hunt, and men call cruelty salvation, Selah learns the most dangerous thing left isn’t the end of the world.

It’s being wanted by the man who survived it.
For readers who want post-apocalyptic dark romance, religious horror, a morally black hero, enemies-to-lovers with teeth, and devotion that feels a little too much like damnation.
