Marked for Ruin (Stones & Curses Book 3) – Lissa Bolts

Hey… it’s Nora. Again. And this time, I’m in way over my head.

The jinn are being hunted right and left, and as their unwitting leader, that paints a sparkly neon target on my back.

Yay, me.

The druids are my biggest threat. They’re dark sorcerers who fuel their filthy magic by feasting on the souls of others like they’re at an all-you-can-eat buffet. As for me, well… I’m the main course.

But I’ve got news for them. This jinn is off the menu because I’m done running.

Rafe and I are finally on the same page, and although I want nothing more than to get lost in those depthless grey eyes, we’ve got work to do. He’s sacrificed so much to ensure my survival, but the other jinn doubt my ability to lead, and what’s worse, I’ve gone and allied myself with the fae.

The fae!

They’ve forced me to see the cost of the druids' magic—a plague of darkness spreading across the land. If left unchecked, it will consume everyone and everything in its path.

And the only one powerful enough to stand against them? The one with an actual chance at making them pay?

You guessed it. Me.

Wish Marked (Stones & Curses Book 1) – Lissa Bolts

Hi. I’m Nora, and I bring people’s worst nightmares to life.

Everyone needs a hobby, right?

Gah. Don’t look at me like that. It’s not like I do it on purpose. I’m cursed. Like bonafide needle-pricking, frog-kissing, poison-apple cursed. Except worse because in addition to slowly chipping away at my soul, this thing will eventually kill me too.

Let me start over…

It all goes back to wishes. The damned things come true around me but in the worst possible way. And I don’t mean that lightly because, well… sometimes people wind up dead.

The kicker? Once I grant my quota of ill-fated desires, that’s it for me. Finito. I know because there were others before me. Just our sick family heritage. We screw people over, and then we die. Hell of a way to live, right?

I think I might be the last one too. I’ve searched my whole life and found nothing. No answers. No cure. Not one hint of magic in this entire world besides me.

Well, that is… until today.

The Dark Tide: Gifted Blood Academy, Sophomore Year (Ytherynia Book 2) – Maria Vermisoglou

They said the academy was safe.

Now I’m wondering if it’s my job to keep it that way.

Oh, I haven’t introduced myself? I’m Yuri Finn, Prince of Liquiris (and humble sophomore student at Gifted Blood Academy) at your service.

All I want is to get through the school year at Gifted Blood unscathed, but when magic mysteriously disappears, we get stuck in our human forms. And if that wasn’t enough, Mavuto, a freshman shifter, has his mind set on making everyone miserable this year.

If I lose control of my powers, the spirit will awaken. Then it’s game over.

Can’t a prince get a break?

Now I’m supposed to band together with the shifters who made my life hell and all the other species who obviously have their own agenda.

Yup, I’m probably going to die.
