Fade Into You

Catriona Child

Summary

It's 1994, Kurt Cobain has just died, and teenager Alex is spending the summer working in her Aunt's Bed and Breakfast in rural Argyll. The village pace of life is slow compared to home in Edinburgh and Alex resigns herself to a quiet summer spent serving breakfasts and making beds. Everything changes however once she meets the twin brothers who live next door.
Spanning the next fifteen years of Alex's life, Fade Into You is a love letter to growing up in Scotland in the 90s and 2000s. Set against a backdrop of T in the Park and the war in Iraq, soundtracked by Britpop and Grunge mixtapes, with the sweet taste of tablet, it is a novel about growing up and growing apart. It explores the intensity of childhood friendships, how they change as we get older but how they never really leave us.

Bitter Aries - Book 1 of The Zodiac

Paul Sating

Hell is ready for a change. Too bad no one told its hero.
All demons have magic. Except me. And that's just the beginning of my troubles.
An ancient demon, one of Hell's most powerful magic users, has disappeared. Rumors have it that he's in the Overworld, living among mortals and hiding while he plots to bring down demons and angels alike.
And I’m the lucky one who got tasked with the job of bringing him back to answer for his crimes.
But being Hell’s only demon without magic has made me somewhat of a leper, and it’s not like I have a squad of hitmen to help—an inconvenient fact for Hell’s rulers who see something useful in me.
Aries, the first of the Zodiac. Hell's most feared outlaw. A despised magic-user. And it's up to me to hunt him down.
Call me a superhero? Better to call me dead. After all, the mortal realm is the only place demons can be killed—exactly where my mission is taking me.
All I wanted was a steady job to afford my own place, preferably far away from the noise of chimera and annoying fae. I never asked to travel to the mortal realm to find an escapee who could flick his fingers and evaporate me faster than Hellfire.
I’ll have to ask Hell’s rulers what they saw in me… if I make it out alive.
Hell hath no fury like a demon without a snowball’s chance.

Sinister Obsession - A Dark MFM...
