As Ozy studies necromancy to find a way to resurrect his family, he must avoid the killer lurking in the shadows of the scholomance. However the killer just might be the undead Annabel, whose fractured memories make her wonder if she really is the murderer.

Some skulls without their lower jawbone piled on top of each other.

Open pages of different arcane textbooks. The top left one shows different bones, top right one show different plants, bottom right one show scales about the orbit of the moon and planets, and the bottom left one has many words written on it.

A shot of someone's chin and neck. Their teeth are sharp and pointed and blood covers their mouth and runs down their chin and neck.

There’s something in the water 🌊

When an island whispers different versions of unwritten local legends & turning into a creature of the deep as a result of heartbreak makes you want to drown your ex- no one is safe

Especially not the exes

TOO SOON FOR ADIOS X YOU WITH A VIEW

When an opportunity to ditch her old life presents itself, Camila takes the first flight to Mexico to claim an inheritance and rediscover her roots, but her dead grandpa and an ex-pro bull rider have other plans.

#PicantePit #A #R #PitQ

Picture of a woman standing in the desert with a blurb, "The only thing she wanted was to claim her inheritance and reconnect with her roots while avoiding her problems.
Her dead grandpa had other plans.
Stranded in Mexico, Camila is thrown back together with a childhood friend turned celebrity who happens to own the other half of her grandpa’s estate. A dark family secret threatens to send her spiraling, unless she can let her past go and learn to love and trust again."

She doesn’t know the masked prince is the one her scars were destined to find. One kiss brings him ruin and awakens a love spanning lifetimes. But prophecy binds them as each other’s fate, and only through destruction can their truth endure. ⚔️ #PicantePit #F #A #PitQ

Digital illustration of a masquerade ball. A masked man in a white and silver suit leans in to kiss a woman wearing a jeweled, peacock-inspired gown. His hand holds her waist as her head tilts back. The scene captures forbidden passion and ruin through a single kiss.

The '90s human girl x werewolf boyfriend are all grown up and living in married bliss. But once bodies of locals start appearing every full moon, our headstrong fmc has a choice: solve the killings or admit true love shouldn't require this much bleach.

What hope is there after it all crumbles?

Surrender and flow into the rivers whose paths we may not be known, but will go beyond perceived obstacles.

Journey the road that burns safety blankets, but liberates.

Then rise from the ashes.

A canva flyer? Our hope to finding the cure to a fatal neurotoxin lies within the people who push out updates like this?! Be for real.

A poorly made canva flyer with a light grey background and navy and maroon writing that says:
Sphere News
Disastrous Storm Approaching:
Must remain inside at ALL times. Our SRI team will be working diligently to clear our streets of any trace of indroxin. In the case of a breach in our dome, do NOT go outside. Stay away from windows. Be sure your home is sealed and your air is being circulated.

Indroxin Updates:
Cure research is still ongoing. We are working diligently in order to keep you safe. Remember the early warning signs if you or a loved one have been exposed:
1. Auditory and visual hallucinations
2. Loss of memory
3. Loss of facial recognition
Remember to do YOUR part in helping us find the cure-call the Sphere line if you know of any orphaned children. The could be the answer to all that we seek!

MISSING:
Subject FOX has been taken from the Sphere. DO NOT APPROACH. Has been recently exposed to indroxin and is experiencing a break in reality. Call the sphere line IMMEDIATELY if spotted.

We want to take a moment for all the test subjects who’ve died in the search for the cure. Please see attached for full list of these heroes.

IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP

AITA for taking my baby daughter on a walk?

To be fair to my wife, I simply forgot to mention it. And besides, I wasn't actually going to tell her, well, considering I needed my baby for…insurance. Scouting out a guarded forest is dangerous work after all.

Publishers are fighting over TRUE HATE'S KISS! One of them even sent this to my agent—a mock-up of what the published book could look like! I guess as a way to get us to pick them?
Any other #Editors want to join the battle? 😁

#UnhingedPit #NA #Romantasy #EditorsGuide #OnSub

Book Cover with a couple almost kissing against a misty forest backdrop with silhouettes of fairies and dragons and a frame with Norse runes.
Title: True Hate's Kiss
Author: Ann Glimmer.
Tagline: "To break her curse, she needs a kiss from the man she swore to kill".

Backside of the book cover with the text:
Deadly Curses. Forbidden Desire. Kisses With Consequences.
Älva of the Fjälla Clan is determined to prove herself a worthy successor to her mother—the jarl—and protect her people from
the enemy clan. So when one of them kills her father, she’s consumed with hatred for the mysterious man and swears revenge.

When a witch casts a deadly curse on Älva and her family, she’s forced to seek help from the capricious spirits who offer only one way to break the curse: a True Hate’s Kiss. The man she hates must kiss her of his own free will.

Resolved to trick her father’s murderer into kissing her—and then kill him—she infiltrates the enemy clan. But the more she learns about her enemy, the more she questions who the true villain really is. Forbidden desire threatens to ruin everything—her clan’s respect
for her, the safety of her people, and most of all, her chances
of breaking the curse.

#UnhingedPit THE FATE OF ANGELS AND DEMONS
A prophecy that foretold the death of Lilly's brother came to light. Lilly must face the demon king said to be his killer. When unresolved trauma and suppressed darkness take hold, she falls in love with him —and goes even crazier than he is. #Q #RF

Moodboard for The Fate of Angels and Demons by Maria Levato.

Tile 1 (upper left-hand corner): One red feather and one purple feather reaching for each other across a solid blue background, surrounded by elegant gold stenciling and the words "The Demon King of Tendu" in purple, placed below the words, "For every star in the sky, I'll spend 10 seconds looking into your eyes. If that time doesn't pass before I die, then at least I'll be by your side." As if they are a quote from the demon king.

Tile 2 (upper right-hand corner): A pale pink background surrounded by flowers with a glowing red spot emerging from its center and some hearts.

Tile 3 (bottom left-hand corner): The word "Seshen" in pink letters with raging fire in the background and a pink lightning strike going through it, surrounded by a few isolated lilies.

Tile 4 (bottom right-hand corner): Red feathers on a blue background with gold stenciling.

Vertical center strip: "No one did morally black better than him until he met her."
