Compounding Traumas (Artemis University Book 6)
Page 29
I smirked as I leaned over and ripped it off of her, studying it for a few moments before finding White. “Dean White, I saw this in Veritas Portas, and I’m fairly certain it was sold by a member of your council—could only be made by a member of the council. What’s it doing on a vampire councilmember’s granddaughter during a tournament?” I tossed it over and her eyes went wide the moment she caught it.
“It’s a power enhancing charm and completely illegal for any event,” she declared loudly. “It would have increased her physical stamina, strength, and endurance.”
I wrinkled up my nose. “Really? Are we sure it’s not a dud? I mean, that or Blake just really sucks.” I snorted at the pun of a vampire. I walked a few feet to where her telepathy blocking charm had fallen off and held it up for all to see, smirking up at the two councils. “Oh, and boys, next time you have a foolproof plan, maybe don’t send such a fucking moron of a pawn in.
“Seriously, you idiots and your egos just make it so much fun to do this over and over again. You cheat and cheat, and still you can’t win.” I tossed the charm up towards them, wanting to roll my eyes when several ducked as if I’d thrown a grenade. “Are you guys tired of constantly losing yet? Have you any pride left? Time to raise the white flag and just admit defeat?”
Several opened their mouths to say… A number of everything I was sure.
I didn’t give them the chance, turning on my heel and heading over to Mel and Edelman to claim my prize. I smirked at White as I went by. “How’s that for a public win? Let those fuckers deal with that flack and mocking for a while that one of theirs got kicked out of school again, and on live TV this time.”
She smothered a snort. “It’s a good win, Tamsin. It’s a good fucking win this time.”
Yeah, it was, and it gave us a bit of fuel to keep the hope we could win the fights we were fighting, as losing wasn’t an option.
The End
THANK YOU for reading this book!!
Thank you so much for coming on Tamsin’s journey with me. I woves all of you lots for your continued support and wanting more of my books. Please, please leave a review. It really helps me out to know which series people are looking for more from. And it’s encouraging to get back to series when people are excited for more. I appreciate the time it takes and hopefully you guys love Tamsin and this world as much as I loved writing the series!!
I’m sorry for the delay. Things are starting to find some level of normal (and I most definitely just jinxed that) so I’m looking at a every six weeks release schedule for the foreseeable future. BUT there’s more to come and I hope you’re as excited about that as I am.
Stay safe and kisses to everyone from Vader.
All my best,
Erin

Accidentally Wolf: Seraphine Thomas 1
Gives New Meaning To Workplace Injury
Special Agent in Charge, Seraphine Thomas, lives for her job at the FBI. One of the youngest female agents with her own team, she thrives in undercover work to make the city she loves safer. But Sera’s on-track life is thrown into chaos when she’s attacked during a bust gone bad and is left figuring out what it means to be a werewolf.
Right away, she learns that she’s more powerful and able to do things that she shouldn’t be able to do so quickly after her transition. The rules of her old life don’t seem to apply to much now that she’s a shifter, and knowing who she can trust is even more complicated.
When she’s transferred to a special branch of the FBI made up of paranormals policing others of their kind and given a promotion, things start looking up—until her abnormal level of power creates a list of enemies for her before she’s even learned who her allies are.

Upended Life: Artemis University 1
My name is Tamsin Vale and my life is about to get real… Really complicated and ridiculously dangerous. Which is almost funny given at nineteen I already know too much of the darkness of the world and people, the secrets they keep.
Or so I thought.
Turns out those quirky abilities I’ve been keeping secret expose me to a world I didn’t know existed. Sure, I knew I wasn’t human—but how exactly do I find out more without ending up in the wrong hands?
And I’m not so sure I’m in the right hands now given some of the reactions to finding me. They say I’m the last fairy. I’m not sure I should trust them when their thoughts are mostly of power and how to use me.
But I’m also not sure I have much of a choice. My powers are dangerous and I don’t know how to use them. They promise to teach me what I need to know and give me a chance at something I’ve never had before.
A normal life. I don’t think anything about Artemis University and those who attend is normal, but it’s still better than the life I’ve been living if they keep half their promises.
I think hoping they’ll keep half is generous.
Artemis University is a hot burning reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who follows her own moral compass of what is right… And who she ends up giving her heart to.

No Longer Home: House of Garner 1
My name is Inez Garner, and my story has sort of been told… But not. I’m turning twenty-three and find out I’m not human; I’m apparently a vampire. Sure, who hasn’t read that story? Oh, but I’m a princess. And there’s a zombie apocalypse—although I’m debating where the line is of apocalypse vs. post-apocalypse. There’s also a quest that I’m compelled to be on, and it might all be coming from the Goddess.
Awesome. It seems She has big plans for me. And I have to deal with ghosts. When I kill corrupted—the nice PC name people call zombies, as it’s not their fault they eat people—I then have to deal with their ghosts. Which is super when being hunted for years by some guys I don’t want to know better.
Add to everything, I have to apologize to heroines for judging them when they fall in bed with the hot guy and buy the story he gives. I get it now. Sex is splendid. I’m not one to believe a con, but he’s got answers I need, like why I have no memories before I was eighteen.
Plus, the fangs sort of sold it for me. I hope he forgives me for shooting him.
House of Garner is an apocalyptic hot burning WhyChoose romance with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine that doesn’t let anyone get in her way.

Undisclosed Assets: Untraceable Succubus 1
A succubus working as a stripper sounds like a cliché or start of a bad joke, but Lola Chase is in a human only province in Canada for other reasons. Someone is murdering women society looks down on, and she’s there to stop it. As a demon, she’s bottom of the supernatural food chain and knows how often people ignore crimes against them.
From the start there isn’t much to go on, and she ends up getting in a bit of trouble following any leads she gets. Things get complicated when an ancient, big name vampire takes interest in her and getting away from him proves to be much harder than her normal admirers.
Thankfully, although her cover is a stripper, Lola loves to dance and the fun she has helps balance out the stress and worry of the case.
Plus, she finds some very hot men to play with and feed from. The question is whether or not she can balance it all and find a murderer before he kills again.
Untraceable Succubus is a murder mystery series where the sex is hot and often and the main character kicks some serious ass on the road to finding out if she can have real love in her life even if it comes from multiple men.
* * *
Demon of Death: Enchantress 1
Soraya Devil is the Enchantress, one of the most powerful magics in the world… But she’s so much more than that, and everyone’s constantly attempting to unravel her past and secrets. She’s not worried though, as many have tried and never find out the truth.
It’s safer for everyone that way.
The owner of Paranormal Investigations—among other companies—she has her own answers to find. Though she’s continuously pulled in too many directions, she always answers the calls that make even her magic tingle in warning at the danger.
When a sprite begins killing people in Chicago, she has to team up with SPU—Supernatural Police Unit—to figure out who summoned the demon and why before more die. While that’s enough of a challenge, the main hurdle is the team lead on the case who loathes all magics. But when he can’t seem to get past his hate and do his job, can Soraya make an ally from an enemy, or will the evil unleashed in the city she loves win the day?

Rough Beginnings: Karma Bakery 1
Starting a New Business Takes Magic
Imagine there weren’t three main gods of Olympus, but four. A sister who went through something so horrible, so traumatic she left and was written out of history.
Arabella Baker and her two adopted daughters are moving to Boston to open a new business and start over. Things will be different this time with the new names and new life. The twins will live on their own at college—though still right in Boston—and experience something a bit more normal. The store she bought has a hefty price, but the location is fantastic, and she got the best spot in the new development… Which apparently comes with an immensely attractive man who owns it all.
Nothing goes smoothly in opening a new business though, sample days, crazy busy, and fluff interviews taking dark turns. Honestly, it leaves Arabella asking one main question—why did she think opening in such a large city and right before the holidays was such a great idea?

Meave: Naughty Witches 1
Leaving NYC and a troubling past, Meave Washington is starting over. She has a good plan, but she’s probably bit off more than she can chew. So she embraces the chance of fate that lands help at her feet—and if he’s smoking hot, all the better.
Distracted by a text while driving, Ashton Perry injures Meave. He’s horrified that he could have killed someone, and steps up to make it right… And not just because she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen.
Sparks immediately start flying and the desire is undeniable but it’s not that simple to take the leap. But Ashton’s barely a man, and Meave is hiding something important. When the woman is older, age isn’t just a number and Meave isn’t sure Ashton can be who she needs.
Ashton steps up to prove he’s not just a man, but the man his bewitching lady deserves. He doesn’t care what she is—only who she is. And he’ll do whatever it takes to prove it.
Naughty Witches is a burning paranormal romance novella series with strong female leads, fun so sexy it raises the temperature, and mismatched people who find HEAs that give us all hope fate won’t forget us. Each book is a new pairing in the same world, with an overall series arc.
