Book Feature: "She Came For Blood" by Darva Green

"She Came for Blood" is a captivating sapphic monster romance novel by the expressive and talented Darva Green. Follow the gripping tale of two women drawn together by fate.

Let Darva convince you with this blurb:

You'll watch your true love die three times before joining them in death."

I've been living with the curse of that knowledge for years. Since the first half of that prophecy has already come true, I'm going to spend what's left of my life hunting down the vampire who killed my boyfriend.

When she offers me a position at her side, she has no idea that I'm headed for an early grave, and I'm determined to bring her down with me.

Quote of the Day

"That’s it, my bride. Take your pleasure."

The quote of the week comes from an extremely talented author, Krista Luna from her book "Bound to the Orc Ranger".

Here's the blurb from the author herself:

Stuck in a dead-end job, I make a wish. In a blink, I’m teetering on top of a standing stone in Faerie, where I have magical powers!

And monsters fighting over me!

Thank god, the orc wins. A fierce and deadly warrior, Rovann's nothing but gentle with me.

I’m stunned when he claims me as his moon bound bride, saying we’re already magically matched and married. I never imagined being wed to a stranger, even one that makes my heart flutter. When I tell him humans don’t work like that, Rovann vows to woo me.

No matter what it takes.

Webtoon Feature: "Blackened" by Mr. Freakasaur

Blackened is a cute and romantic webtoon, with fun art, and even funnier writing!

Searching for relationships through apps seemed like a solution for Zoe, a young plant-crazy witch. Everything was fine, until she got a date with the mysterious and friendly Blak. However, there is a detail: he is a monster.

That is exactly the detail we love in this community!
