A small village is filled with fear after Vasilisa reports seeing a witch in the nearby cursed woods. Neighbors turn on each other, the land turns bone dry, and bodies begin to pile up. Baba Yaga quickly becomes the primary suspect. Meanwhile, Vasilisa uses her beauty and charisma to bewitch the minds and hearts of every other villager. But is she truly a witch or is something else responsible for all of this mayhem?

This dark reimagining of Vasilisa the Beautiful encourages readers to look beyond the attractive surface to find the ugly evil hidden within.

A Nighttime of Forever by Matthew S. Cox

A Nighttime of Forever
(Book 1 of the Vampire Innocent series)
Upper YA, UF/Vampire dramedy
Pub 2/20/18

Blurb:

Sarah Wright woke up a few times after parties in strange places―but the morgue’s a first.

At eighteen, she’s eager for a taste of independence, moving out of state to attend college. A change of scenery is extra-needed due to a bad breakup with her boyfriend, Scott. However, soon after escaping the body cooler, she makes two startling realizations: vampires are real, and she is one.

There’s nothing quite like an untimely death to ruin plans. California’s sunny beaches aren’t the best place for vampires to chill, and worse, not only does she wind up stuck in Seattle, she’s still living (figuratively) with her parents.

They take the news surprisingly well―after all, it’s better than burying her―even helping move her bedroom to the basement. A disinterested sire, distraught friends, nosy Men in Black, and awestruck younger siblings complicate her adjustment to the new normal of being an immortal still subject to her parents’ rules.

Undeath has its perks, but it also brings enemies. Without a copy of ‘Fangs for Dummies,’ Sarah’s left scrambling for answers when one such new enemy attacks her siblings and friends. If she can’t figure out how to vampire, her attempt to spare her family the grief of losing her may wind up killing them.

When his girlfriend runs out of his hospital room gagging after a single look at him, Ozzy knows he’s a hideous freak. He becomes convinced he’s blown any chance of finding love, a girlfriend or ever having sex.

Determined to prove he can still be a man, Ozzy throws himself into dumping the burden of his virginity, but finds there’s a limited number of people willing to touch legless dudes in wheelchairs. His obsession takes him into the seedy underworld of brothels and escort services where he discovers the difference between sex and intimacy, and that sometimes the price you pay for getting what you want is much higher than a sex worker’s fee.

Guarded Wish by Addison Carmichael

GUARDED WISH
NA/YA Fantasy Romance
Published 2/18/2018

Blurb:

HER MOST GUARDED AND DARKEST WISH COME TRUE—if only…
…if only she truly believes—in Peter and herself.
What would you do if your fantasy love came to life?
It wasn’t weird that Sandy Koufax dreamed up and fantasized about her perfect guy she affectionately named Peter throughout the years. Everyone has imaginary friends growing up, particularly if you’re a lonely foster kid in the system.
But Peter became much more than just a silly adolescent daydream. He invaded her nights as well, coming into her dreams often, claiming to have heard her from “his world,” claiming to be her Sole Guardian Prime. And the dreams never stopped, not after years when he ages as she does, not even when she grows up and knows she should have long ago put away childish fantasies, which included Peter.
But just as Sandy comes of age and finally determines to stop believing in the impossible existence of her perfect fantasy Guardian Peter, she moves to her new home in San Francisco and strangely receives a cupcake and candle with a notecard that reads:
Happy Birthday, Sandy.
Make a wish. I promise it will come true.
And you know I always keep my promises
—Love always, Peter.

Yet, as the saying goes—be careful of what you wish for. Because all is not as it seems. When Sandy miraculously spots a gorgeous black haired young man with the same sea green eyes as her perfect Peter casually hanging out across the street, then spotting him at various places around her neighborhood, this could very well be her birthday wish come true. Or she may have opened the door to something dark, mysterious and dangerous—from another world altogether.
When Sandy finally meets this sexy Peter doppelganger, this might seem like her birthday wish come true, until she fears that her sexy guardian isn’t the only person might have accidentally brought over. Then Peter warns her in yet another nighttime dream that there is now a deadly assassin from his world who was able to punch through the dimensional veil between their worlds, someone contracted to hunt down and kill her. This assassin is a mimic, a shifter able to take on the image of any person he touches—her coworkers, friends and even her new boyfriend Mick Barron.
Now Sandy doesn’t know who she can believe or trust. Or why this otherworldly assassin wants to kill her. Or who can and will help her escape him.
This is when she finally learns that she is much more than some ordinary infant abandoned at a local fire station 18 years ago and tossed around in the foster system all of her life. Sandy Koufax discovers that if she doesn’t outwit and outmaneuver this assassin, Peter’s world as well as her own could very well be destroyed. It will be up to her to finally grow up and put away all of the childhood wishes and dreams she has guarded all of her life and rise up to become the ultimate crowning light that vanquishes the very evil that gave her life.
