Vampire Revival

Pentacle, Book One

Olivia Strange

When a handsome, half-naked man staggers into emergency physician Vanessa Franklin’s hospital, she does her utmost to save him. Yet he arouses her in ways that she scarcely thought possible. It is as if she had known him, in every way, in some distant time and place.

When the man goes into cardiac arrest, her attempt to defibrillate him hurls her back a century to fogbound London. There, she discovers how she knew the man. His name is Rex Talbot, and in this past life, he and Vanessa are members of a group of vampire-hunters known as The Pentacle.

The past can repeat itself, and to some with the right powers, events can be altered for their selfish gain. Such are the aims of Lord Edgar Beaconsfield, the vampire lord who Vanessa and Rex dispatched once, but whose loyal minions have found a way to resurrect their lord, even if it involves dangerous time travel.

Together, Vanessa and Rex must rediscover how they defeated Lord Beaconsfield, yet their greatest obstacle is their own desires for each other; deprived of each other’s body for over a century, their rekindled passion knows no bounds. Little do they realize these desires are worth more than their blood to the vampire lord, and if they fail this time, there might be no future to return to.

Cookies, Candles, and Cute Butts for Christmas

Cameron D. James & Cali Kitsu

It’s gonna be a hot Christmas in Frosty Bottoms, when Braden, the new hunky veterinarian strolls into town, but this gorgeous man is no stranger, and he’s no longer a vet. He’s coming back to Frosty Bottoms to bake cookies and dip his wick in Kellan, the local candlemaker, who happens to be his childhood best friend.

Kellan knows Braden is coming back to town and taking over BJ’s Cookies and he’s unsure how to feel about it. They have a past; Kellan felt something but then Braden moved away.

Sparks soon fly when Braden reunites with Kellan, but they want different things. Braden is only interested in a relationship, while Kellan is only looking for hookups. With mishaps galore, including over-excited family, unrecognizable otters, and motorboating a muscle chest, everyone and everything seems to be pushing the two men together.

When the initial ice between them melts, it’s not long before more than cookie dough is being rolled out on Braden’s counters…and a certain bottom is getting frosted.

The Killing Game

Posted on by Deep Desires Press

The Killing Game

Chris Bedell

17-year-old Channing Hollingsworth should be focused on retaking the SAT, working on college applications, and partying with friends. Instead, he’s thrust into a world of danger and violence when someone murders his mother.

And the killer doesn’t stop there. The killer stalks Channing and his friends and starts killing them one by one.

If Channing has any hope of escaping alive, he needs to figure out who’s targeting them—and why. If he doesn’t, the bodies will keep piling up, and his own will be the cherry on top.

But when playing amateur detective and probing into the killings, Channing stumbles into decades-old secrets involving his parents and his friends’ parents. No one is completely innocent, and nobody is safe.

Channing’s one rock in this unfolding nightmare is the “situationship” that’s developed between him and a supposedly-straight friend, Rhys Fitzpatrick. But as the killer narrows in, Channing knows it’s only a matter of time before both him and Rhys are the latest bodies stuffed in the morgue.

Devil by the Tail

Caroline Lavoie

In a small town in the Rockies, a mountain looms: the Devil’s Tail. According to local lore, a wicked trickster haunts its slopes, and whoever glimpses it is cursed to lose someone they love.

Alex refuses to believe she’s been cursed. She only ever saw the beast in her nightmares. Even if it’s real, it can’t hurt her because she doesn’t let anyone get too close to her heart. That is, until Amka moves to town. In no time, Alex’s carefully built walls begin to crumble.

But what if Alex’s fear of loss is a curse of its own?

There are a hundred ways to die on the Devil’s Tail, but only one way to break the curse. The path is treacherous, and the beast is waiting.

Nobody Loves an Incubus

Fangville High, #2

Dylan James

Serge is an incubus—one of the sexiest creatures alive. He has reigned long as king of the school.

But after getting his heart broken by a boy he genuinely liked, Serge is facing a crisis of identity. To continue being who he is only seems to lead to loneliness and heartbreak. Maybe he needs to change, to be truer to himself. The bad boy attitude is just an act, after all.

As he navigates this crisis with the help of Bram, his best friend, he starts receiving a nightly visitor—a cute ghost boy with gorgeous eyes, who appears for only a few minutes in the deepest, darkest depths of the night. Serge is desperate to talk to him, to get to know him, but any attempts at communicating with the ghost are met with silence. The boy doesn’t seem to even know he’s there.

To build that bridge and communicate with the ghost, Serge must do the thing he least wants—enlist the help of Victor and Igor, boys he used to tease mercilessly. It’s a gamble and the stakes are high, especially given the fact that life has taught Serge one thing and one thing only…

The Time Witch

Olivia Strange

England in 1645 is a dangerous time to be a witch. The Civil War is raging, family loyalties are tested, and disease is rampant. Preachers rant against magic and witchcraft and in the days of uncertainty and suspicion many innocents are denounced as witches, putting their lives at risk.

Jessica Jackson is not just a witch, she’s a time-witch, descended from a long line of time-traveling witches originating in ancient Lemuria. With her familiar and lover, a shifter called Titus, at her side, she navigates the perils of Civil War England with her Grimoire, an ancient book of magic garnered from magicians and witches across centuries and civilizations.

In the sleepy Norfolk town of Pendlebury, Jessica settles as a healer and, together with Titus, has a passionate love affair with the schoolmasters' beautiful sister, Constance. But then comes the witchfinder, Gideon Fallowfield, determined to uncover a coven of witches!

In a dangerous game of cat and mouse, Jessica and Titus, pursued by Gideon, travel from one century to another, across continents, to the Sargasso Sea and then ancient Egypt, realizing there is more to his vengeful pursuit than even he is aware of.

Jessica has to use her wiles, her wits, and her magic to survive and save those she loves, if she wishes to settle for good in the one time that matters most to her.

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Cali Kitsu

My name is Froderick Dracula, but my friends call me Frode. I’m seventeen and starting my junior year of high school. My father, the famous Count Dracula, is not only the most celebrated vampire in the world, but he’s also the school ruler, not to mention a huge idiot. He’s completely out of touch with the world and hates anything that he doesn’t understand—which is basically everything.

Being the son of the ruler of the school and the highest vampire in all of vampire society is hard enough on its own, but there’s one thing I forgot to mention: I’m gay. It’s pretty hard keeping such a big secret, especially with my father trying to convince me to get my first bite out of the way. I’m not interested in biting any girls, though, so that’s not gonna happen.

Starting the first day of school will be just like every other year, boring, bland, full of classes that I don’t care about. That’s what I assumed until our opening assembly, when I saw him. Caleb Cheval. The new vampire in school. He’s also a noble, and he wants to—hold my hand?

Whaaat?! What the fangs am I supposed to do?

Normal

Posted on by Deep Desires Press

Normal

John Luke Maxwell

Anyone who grew up in the small town of Normal has heard of old Milholland Place. Crispin Galloway certainly has. He's lived next door to the haunted house for years.

It’s now 1997 and a new family is renting the creepy old house. Crispin isn't putting money on them sticking around for very long. Nobody who rents the Milholland Place ever does. He certainly has no intention of going over there himself. After all, he's got enough on his mind, what with having a sexual awakening and crushing on his best friend.

Unfortunately, his new neighbors are in the market for a babysitter to take care of their twin children, and Crispin needs money. The job seems easy enough, even though it means spending an evening at Spook Central, and the money is good. Crispin figures he can handle it.

But then, strange things start happening. Crispin hears noises he shouldn't. Odd messages are left for him. And there is a growing sense that someone—or something—is watching him. Is he merely the victim of a practical joke? Or are the stories about the old Milholland Place rooted in reality?

It's up to Crispin and his friends to discover the truth. Four meddling teenagers and their dog will have to band together to solve this mystery.

And it's not like that's ever happened before!
