Dead End

Dark Paths, Book 5

by Ivy Whitaker

The final battle has come—and this time, there’s no running.

Shea Tobin has carried the Bearers’ curse in her blood, but now she stands as their last hope. A new evil is bleeding Verbank dry—twisting the town into a crucible of nightmares and hunting the people she’s sworn to protect.

With every step closer to the end, the line between realms frays, dragging Shea deeper into a destiny she never chose. Her ancestors whisper. Her blood burns. And the shadows demand her surrender.

But Shea has learned one truth: love—fragile, steady, defiant—may be the only light strong enough to cut through the dark.

Now she must risk everything—her heart, her soul, her very life—to unify Verbank and save the one she loves.

Because if she falters, Verbank falls.

And if Verbank falls… she loses everything.

Good Hurt

Good Hurt, Book 1

by Summer Robert

Is it really love if it doesn’t hurt?

Addison Blaise is an addict, but not in the way you might think.

In two months, Addison will leave her sick mother behind, fly across the country, and pretend to be a normal college freshman.

Her parents and older brother went to Harvard; now it is her turn. Go to Harvard, major in BioChem, become a world-renowned researcher, cure cancer… It was her dream. But that was three years ago, before the incident and before pain, anxiety, and fear ripped her mind apart. Now, faced with the reality of living on her own, thousands of miles away from the safety of her home, that dream is terrifying.

No, Addison certainly didn’t need any more pain, but that didn’t stop her from wanting it all the same. She didn’t ask to fall for him, but something about her older brother’s friend, Asher Aves, was impossible to resist. Was it lust? Was it love? When would enough be enough?

Try as she might to stop herself, when the hurt is this good, it’s never enough.
