The Dying Religion - KAOS x WITCHER x GODKILLER No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, instead they won it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. “Do you know what it costs to be loved by a God?” “Tell me, how’s it pay to be feared by one?” #YouDeservepIt #agentsguide #A #F

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become. #YouDeservePit #Q #YA #H #T

BELLADONNA x DAMSEL 'Til death do us part' seems far fetched— until Odessa is haunted by the spirits of the murdered queens before her. Warned she is next in the grave, Odessa must escape to survive. The queens agree to help, but their aid comes with a deadly price: vengeance. #youdeserveplt #YA #F

Both my books are on Kindle Unlimited, so if you like fun cosy fantasy with older characters, or tense, emotional high seas adventure, both full of found family and very queer, you can get both now. And if you have read and enjoyed, please share. Reader recommendations help so much!
