Maddie’s Initiation: A Spicy Paranormal Why Choose Halloween Novella

Claimed By Her Monsters by Lexi Davis 18+ Contains Adult Content Claimed by Her Monsters follows Maddie, who is being placed with her court-appointed distant relative after problems at her foster home. Today is Halloween, which also happens to be Maddie's 19th birthday. She is brought to her "relatives" home, where the mansion breathes, and the portraits watch. He tells her to stay in her room, but Maddie never does as she is supposed to; she goes downstairs where she meets his 2 friends, and finds out the raging storm outside isn't normal and she is the key, and must perform the ritual before midnight or doom them all. For one reckless second, I want him to help me. To take me away from here. I shut that down fast. I don't trust that emotion. Hope"Hope is the thing with feathers," Emily Dickinson wrote, but my birds always get shot. They fall from the sky. […]
