I thought there was nothing worse than being a succubus born to angels. But the night I’m convicted of a crime I don’t remember committing, I’m sentenced to an unbearable fate—I’ve been enrolled in the Magic Academy for Troubled Monsters. Without so much as a goodbye, I’m shipped off to the haunted old campus in Upstate New York and stripped of all contact with the outside world. But I don’t belong here. I’m not a monster. And despite badass students, a weirdly cool atmosphere, and a trio of gorgeous, wildly different boys that are inexplicably interested in me? I can’t stay here. And there’s only one way out—the Vile Trials. Wickedly difficult, totally unpredictable, and grossly public, the Trials are the only hope I have of returning to my normal life. And if I want to pass them, I have to push away the fear of my power, and learn to embrace it. Even if that means opening myself up to danger, daring, and most frightening of all—love. Welcome to the MAFTM—get ready for a badass heroine, a college academy brimming with every monster imaginable, and a steamy reverse harem—no choosing necessary.

I’m finally loving the Magic Academy for Troubled Monsters. Do my three sexy, daring, totally hopeless boys have something to do with that? Maybe. And my newfound notoriety after passing the Vile Trials definitely doesn’t hurt. But a good thing can never last. When a new Headmaster shows up with a shake-up, what choice do we have but to rebel? Only—it’s not that simple. New professors, new security—and a slew of new students, one of which has my heart—and other parts of me—after our first strange, sexy meeting. I think we can figure this out, until a series of grisly murders sends the school into a prison-like lockdown. MAFTM isn’t what it was. And if we don’t act fast, it never will be again. Sex, violence, murder and mystery—welcome back to the Magic Academy for Troubled Monsters. Join Scarlett and her reverse harem on a dangerous investigation into their pasts, powers—and the depths of their own desires.

I’m not the same girl I was when The Magic Academy for Troubled Monsters is closed, and troubled monsters have been displaced all over the world.Luckily, my estranged dad has pulled some strings for me, my friends, and, of course—my guys. We may be spies in training at Darkside, the shadow organization my dad’s a part of, but that doesn’t mean I’m any freer than I was at the Academy. While my friends are off on dangerous missions? I’m stuck here like a princess in a castle. What’s worse—sub-class and half-monsters are going missing all over the world. While I’m busy training and falling in love, the monster world is falling apart. And with everything we’ve been through, I’m not taking this lying down. Kings of monsters, sibling rivalries, conflicts over my heart—we may have left the Academy, but there’s so much more trouble to be had.

Ahoy, me hearties! Matilda and the Pirates Next Door return in a series of illustrated stories for young readers.Every full moon, a mysterious ship is seen off the coast of Dull-on-Sea.

It’s been four years since my parents were murdered, along with most of our Irish Slayborn clan. Orphaned, aimless, and really pissed off, what was I supposed to do but spiral into a s--t-tornado of sex, faerie drugs, DIY bounty hunting, and partying? That’s my life now, and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be my death, too. Until the night a mysterious, mind-blowingly hot, total a--hole Slayborn soldier shows up. Until every last Slayborn orphan I know is slaughtered in my parents’ old house. Until I’m told that the very bastard who murdered them is raising an army. And if the dregs of the Slayborn have any hope of surviving? We have to raise one, too. But everything isn’t what it seems...dirty bathroom sex, old betrayals, an ancient faerie feud, eerie Irish magic—yeah, it’s a lot to take in. But war’s on the horizon, and I’m sure as hell not gonna sit this one out. And yes, our heroine is a boozy, violent, potty-mouthed b--yatch who isn’t afraid to get her hands—and various other parts—dirty. Doesn’t suit you? No prob. Door’s over there.
