Bree Waters thought she knew all of Sea Haven’s secrets, but she was wrong.
The residents of Sea Haven have spent generations hiding the fact that they’re descended from powerful creatures of the deep. Their mermaid ancestors are supposed to be extinct–at least, that’s what Bree’s been told. When Bree finds a merman washed ashore after a harsh storm, she begins to uncover secrets the city council is determined to keep hidden.
Banished from the town she thought she knew and stripped of her beloved magic, Bree must team up with a man from her past if she has any hope of restoring her powers. But fighting back only sends Bree on a quick course toward deep waters–and deep waters are never easy to escape.
Ever since I met Adam, life has been perfect. We're recently engaged, and I'm thrilled to begin building a life together. I want to share every moment with him, because as far as I'm concerned, it's all the time we'll ever have...
Until we hit black ice during a winter storm and my life is cut short.
I'm supposed to remember the afterlife, but I don't. All I have left are my memories, and I'm desperate to hold on to them. I can't go back to the life I once lived, but I can't bear to lose someone I love again. Whatever choice I make will transform both of our futures.
Love becomes unchained.
Ava-Marie
Nothing can scare you when you’ve already died.
Caught between the realm of the living and the dead, I’m not the same person I used to be. I’m darker, crazier… and nothing’s going to stop me from ruling over this prison.
The merfolk key is linked to a legendary assassin, and Kallie might be the way to find it. If we’re going to save the Elves, my friends and I will have to resort to unsavory methods. I’m getting justice for my past, and taking revenge no matter what the consequences.
My prophecy will test just how far I’m willing to go. If I truly want to stop the end of the world, we’ll have to go to the one place every inmate fears…
Cellblock 9.
Charlie
The Warden nearly stole the love of my life away. I’m determined to protect what’s mine with everything in me. He thinks he can lock me in this cage, but I’m prepared to show him just what a villain can do.
Our demigod powers grow stronger by the day, and soon, nothing will be able to contain us… contain me. There’s nothing I won’t do to fulfill my destiny.
One way or another, we’re escaping the Institute, and raining hell down on whoever stands in our way.

Nadine is the only witch of her kind. With unique powerful abilities, she’s a prime contender to sit on the witch’s council—yet she’s anything but welcome. A haunting family curse threatens to force her out of her magical college, and revealing her greatest secret may lead to the destruction of her people.
Lucas is the Reaper’s Apprentice, the only warlock of his generation destined to ferry the souls of the dead. Accepting his dark gift is as brutal as investigating the coven’s mysteries—from finding missing children to exposing the culprit behind a dangerous brew. He’s prepared to fight the darkness alone, until he receives a warning beyond the grave from Nadine’s mother.
Magic is disappearing from the town, and fear is causing the coven to turn against their own. Nadine and Lucas agree to come together to restore the coven’s magic, but the priestesses that rule their coven have other plans…
Ava-Marie is the most powerful supernatural that’s ever lived-- and the most dangerous. The only elemental who can cast both Fire and Water, she’s sent to the Darke Institute for Supernatural Offenders for her crimes. Inside this magical penitentiary, monsters roam free and most inmates don’t come out alive.
Charlie’s at the Institute because of Ava-Marie, but he’s far from innocent. After losing his sight and growing up on the streets, he knows exactly how to outlast the gangs and fight clubs inside the prison. A bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, he’s sworn that Ava is his worst enemy, and he’s seeking revenge now that she’s put him behind bars.
But at this prison, the inmates are the prey, and the Warden is keeping deadly secrets. To survive here, enemies find themselves becoming lovers… and villainy is set free.
Sophia is prophesied to save her tribe, but times have never been darker, and the Elders have never been more desperate. To prevent her people from going extinct, she’ll have to use her power to summon her ancestors, train magical creatures, and make a sacrifice that’ll change her world forever.
Liam has battled for the right to be with Sophia, and their forbidden romance is about to launch the Elementai into a war. To fight back against injustice, he must become the leader he’s always been destined to be, and bring the tribe into a new era.
The fate of the Hawkei will be determined in the greatest battle of their time. In the end, Sophia and Liam will choose between saving their tribe… and saving their family.
Sophia is destined to be the savior of an ancient tribe, but controlling her Fire magic at a school where dragons fly and mystery is around every corner is more complicated than she thought. At Orenda Academy, power is absolute, and students are thrown into a dangerous competition to survive. The Elders who run the tribe are ruthless, and they see Sophia as the ultimate threat.
Liam is the outcast son of a Water chief who’s lost everything. He’s been given a chance to restore his honor… if he helps the Elders take Sophia down. Unfortunately, she’s the one person he’s chosen to protect.
Fire and Water aren’t allowed to be together, and if anyone discovers Liam’s love for Sophia, death will be imminent for them both. To fight back against the Elders, their forbidden romance must come into the light… and ignite a rebellion within the tribe.
Love takes a scandalous vow.
Ava-Marie
Things at the Institute look darker than ever. I’ve lost all my friends, my hope, and the person I love.
To make matters worse, the prison is planning something nefarious. Experiments are being performed on inmates at the Institute, to satisfy the Warden’s craving to find a demigod.
I’ve sworn to uncover the Warden’s plans, and go underground to learn just what he’s plotting. Unfortunately, I can’t find answers without putting my soul on the line.
And the consequences are going to propel me straight to the afterlife.
Charlie

I must step up and become the leader everyone is searching for. I've decided to start teaching magic in secret to a group of prisoners I trust. When the time comes, we’ll be ready to face our enemies.
Students are disappearing from the prison, and we don’t know where they’ve gone. Now, I’m next in line to vanish.
But there’s a way around the law. To remain where I’m needed most, Ava and I will have to make a promise that will change our entire lives.
Sharing a bed with the enemy is one thing. Marrying her is another.
There’s only one witch who can break this curse.

The coven has discovered my secret, and the council demands my help to bring magic back to Octavia Falls.
The priestesses have tasked me with hunting down the Oaken Wands—powerful relics that could restore magic. I must obey the council; otherwise, the entire coven is at risk.
There’s a cursed cauldron that could lead us to one of the Wands, but it’s already fallen into the wrong hands…

I’m not the only person looking for answers. Nadine has launched an investigation of her own, and I must work with her despite the fact we’re no longer together.
I desperately want her back, but the Reaper’s Shadow curse still stands. A prophecy has been given. If we don’t mend our relationship, it could mean the end of the coven forever.

When Mila hears Parker’s voice in her head, everything changes.

On my search for answers, I meet a teen psychic named Crystal Frost. She's easy to open up to, but I still have to tell my family and friends about my gift. If I don't tell them now, I may never work up the courage, and I'll spend the rest of my life regretting it.
