After dealing a massive blow to the Society, we should celebrate. Byron and I could finally move ahead with our relationship.

But once again, Sunny has found a way to come out on top, and she doesn’t need her organization to crush us anymore. She just needed a connection to power more terrifying than the Dark Corruption to start her reign of terror, and she won’t stop until she enslaves us and the ordinary people.

Our one ray of hope? The monstrous entity that now holds more sway over me than ever. But the source of the Dark Corruption won’t give me anything for free and always has tricks up its sleeve. Even with Byron at my side, enemies are everywhere, and the worst one might be within.

Enter a world where it’s Halloween every day and where the monsters are normal, and the normal are monsters…

I’m Ali Welson, and I’m the most normal, goody-two-shoes girl you’ll meet. It’s how I survive a strict home, far from the mysterious Dark Corruption that converts people into B-movie monsters on contact.

But after a close call, Monstreuse, the monster academy, sends an obnoxious sorcerer to claim an unwilling new student–me. Only it’s a mistake, I swear. I never touched the Corruption, as much as Byron insists otherwise. But when my family disowns me, I have no choice but to go.

Thrust into a new, forbidden world, I’m sure I won’t survive my classes, my classmates, or my new rival. But even that pales in comparison to the biggest horror of all. I might be the least normal Monstreuse student in history, and my family is right to fear me.

Why else would someone be trying to do me in?

Monster Academy is a young adult, paranormal academy series that takes place in the same universe as the Cursed Academy series, occurring ten years after the conclusion of Cursed Academy: Year Four. However, it can be read on its own. If you love Halloween, B-movie monsters, slow-burn romance, and danger at every turn, you’ll love the Monster Academy series!

Ever since a horrifying incident that got me turned into a vampire at two, life has been hell. My mother disowned me, and I can barely have friends or attend school. And if the authorities find me out? I’m toast.

I thought moving to the city would help me blend in, but boy, was I wrong. When the authorities catch on to me, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage who’s full of himself. He’s also a roper for Supernaturals Underground, a magical, hidden city.

At least here, I don’t have to hide anymore. But I must earn my keep. Supernaturals are going missing all over the city, including my father. The demon mayor is rounding us up for some diabolical plan, and the Underground wants me to help them fight.

Oh, and Xavier has magically bound me to him so that we’re forced to fight together. What the hell? Time to knock him down a notch.

Or maybe I won’t have to. Xavier’s got his own scars, and we have bigger things to worry about. Turns out, I’m wanted personally by the mayor and special, and that’s never good news in the Supernatural world.

Blood Magic is the first book of the Supernaturals Underground series. It is a dark young adult urban fantasy with plenty of action, a slow burn romance, a strong heroine, and crushing secrets.

The first five books of the Supernaturals Underground Series are now available as a complete series in one boxset! Binge on a young adult urban fantasy series with heart-stopping adventure, shocking secrets, dark magic, and slow-burn romance!

I’ve been a vampire for fourteen of my sixteen years.

It hasn’t been easy pretending to be normal so I don’t get taken away by the Supernatural-hating authorities. Even school is a nightmare, and the last thing I want to do is bite someone. And my life is about to get much worse.

When the authorities catch on to me and I learn that the city’s mayor is rounding up all Supernaturals, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage full of himself. Oh, and the mayor? He’s a secret demon who wants me, and me specifically, for some diabolical plan to end the world.

Oh, if only I could walk away from my nature, but there’s one complicating factor.

Xavier has bound me to him magically so that we must fight together or die. Without my permission. And I’m stuck working with him because the mayor is using my father as bait.

Yikes. Looks like it’s time to face my nature, and time to knock Xavier down a notch.

The Cursed Academy Complete Series Boxset is six books of young adult magic, mythical creatures, snarky romance, and academy adventure! Binge on six full academy novels, or one complete series, for one low price! Twists and turns await. Dive into a tale of magic, myth, and chaos today!

When the Greek gods mysteriously woke twenty years ago, everyone descended from them gained special abilities. The gods opened Olympian Academy to find and teach those lucky souls how to hone their powers and succeed at life. Everyone dreams of that sacred invite.

My chances of getting a visit from a tracker are nothing. For one thing, I’m a klutz. For another, I live in a small town with no future, and I’ll just work at my grandmother’s dusty store once I graduate high school. I’d give anything to escape.

But when I accidentally summon a void that almost eats my so-called friend, my tracker finds me.

Ronin.

Insanely gorgeous, descended from Zeus, and out of my league, he sweeps me out of town to be sorted. Great, right?

But there’s a catch. Only some magical people go to Olympian Academy. Others get sent to Cursed, where the descendants of dark gods and monsters train to serve.

Guess what? I’m unlucky. Cursed Academy, here we come.

But maybe that’s not the end of it. I have a type of magic no one’s seen before, and even though Ronin goes to Olympian next door, he keeps finding me. And now he’s my tutor.

That’s a good thing, even if he teases me constantly. Someone else is trying to kidnap me for a vile plan, and maybe they’re already on campus. With nowhere else to turn, I need Ronin’s help.

Can I deal with the terrifying truth about myself and my powers?

Cursed Academy is a teen supernatural academy romance series based on the dark side of Greek mythology. It is a complete series.
