"Fallen Gods is a Norse-inspired adult fantasy romance from Rachel Van Dyken, filled with ancient secrets and perilous desire.
Odin raised her to obey. To be his blade.
The gods aren't dead - they're only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And Odin, the most ruthless of them all, is Rey Stjerne's father.
Now he's sending Rey to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer that once belonged to her dead brother. If she fails, everyone she loves dies.
But Aric Westberg wasn't part of the plan. He's the enemy's heir. Distant. Dangerous. And somehow familiar. He doesn't know what he is yet - or what he carries - but she does. And the more she's ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and she begins. Now there's a mission she never chose - and a man she was never meant to care about - standing between her and the end of the world . . .
For fans of sexy romantasy and Neon Gods by Katee Robert, Rachel Van Dyken's Fallen Gods duology is a steamy, dramatic myth retelling.

"From #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in The Dark Ones Saga…
I see everything. I feel everything.
I watch people fall in love. I watch them burn with hate, anger, rage, and I see the cycle repeat over and over again. I take it on every night I work at Timber, aka Anubis’s bar in downtown Seattle, and then I help the rest of the immortals keep the very intense balance between Heaven and Earth.
I see everyone's future but mine, and when I try to look, all I see is darkness, despair, need…
Until she walks into my bar with bruises on her face, getting pulled by one of the lesser demons. I do what any good bartender would do… I beat him within an inch of his life and turn my eyes to her.
By then, it’s too late.
She already has me in her grasp.
A succubus that has no other plan than to suck me clean of every inch of power that’s been bestowed on me by the Heavens.
I never thought my future involved getting kidnapped and tied up or that I’d die by way of sex—then again, maybe that’s for the best. Dying at the hands of my enemy rather than being one more burden to my already mated friends.
After all, giving into one last need before death, while selfish, may be exactly what my darkness means.
My need is great.
And she’s about to find out just how much.

"How it started: An accidental phone grab during my rehearsal dinner while my fiancé went to use the restroom. How it ended: Reading all the dirty texts between him and my maid of honor, aka little sister, during our vows in front of the world in what would later be considered one of the most viral wedding videos on TikTok. Did I mention his vows were before mine, and he compared me to my adopted dog because, and I quote, “I’m so loyal”? My first instinct, after exposing his dirty lies, was to run up to the clueless rockstar who was supposed to headline my reception and ask him to sing my tears away. I never expected him to help me escape certain disaster, kiss me senseless, and then buy me ice cream. But that was all in the past—until I’m staring down at a wedding invitation from my ex. You see, he swapped sisters, and now a year later, they’re getting married at a gorgeous winery while I’m still staring down at a plus one, wondering if I can bring my pet turtle. In desperation, I send a drunken text to the hot rockstar with a picture of my turtle in a bowtie. Who knew he'd show up at the wedding—but get this, it isn’t to save me. Nope, it's to SING! SHE STOLE HIM TOO! But now that he’s there and I’m there and the history is there, I beg him one more time to save me, this time as my date. But lie after lie just keep pouring out of my mouth until we're somehow fake-engaged. I would laugh if crying didn’t feel so good. Should have brought the freaking turtle..."

Make it or break it...
Or maybe just break them?
Ai-Ri has been training under YK Management in Korea for two years without any results. She doesn’t fit the typical mold for a successful K-POP idol image, literally down to her blood type. She has six more months before college entrance exams which means she only has six months to make it as an idol before her dreams are crushed.
Things take a turn when two of the most famous male idols break away from their group and decide to form their own co-ed group, a rarity.
And wonder of all wonders, they need one more girl.
It would be the perfect opportunity, except she hates them.
They are arrogant, entitled, rich little snobs who want the world to worship the ground they walk on. To make matters worse, the only reason they came to her was because they are desperate, which means she needs to prove herself even more.
Tempers and personalities collide when she’s forced to either accept the position or give up on her dream.
But what happens when you suddenly go from anti-fan and enemy number one to stuck in a love triangle between two boys you were born to hate but are somehow falling in love with? And will the group survive the heartbreak that follows when she finally makes her choice?
