Nothing goes better with tea and crumpets than corpses and monsters.

************

Just when Trinket thought the madness involving the mutant wolf was over, she and Booker stumble upon a new atrocity: a dead woman with bird talons sewn to her fingers. Convinced that his long-lost childhood friend is responsible, Booker throws himself into the investigation.

However, as more mutilated bodies begin to surface, Trinket worries that Booker's friend has crossed the line from mad scientist to cold-blooded murderer. While trying to keep Booker from going down the same path, she soon discovers that her formerly professional relationship with him is changing into something more.

But with her past sins still fresh in her mind, Trinket fears that getting closer to Booker could lead to more blood on her hands.

Maybe even his.

Sanctified by slumberingtales

"I never feared death... until I saw you." ~•~•~ Samuel gazed up at her from beneath his dark brow. The many scars that littered his chest, made her heart ache for him. Had anyone cared for him when these wounds were fresh? "You are staring again." He commented, his voice neutral. Eden swallowed, biting her lip anxiously, "And you are shirtless." She replied, her voice equally as monotone. "Aye, I am." He nodded, "But that is not why you stare." "I do not stare with pity if that is what you are suggesting." She quipped, "I have seen enough pity in my life I would never put that upon anyone else." "Yet still you stare." His green eyes appeared to sparkle as his lips curled into a knowing smirk, "You may not know why little flower, but you are staring all the same." ~•~•~ Samuel Cairn was a formidable warrior, his hands stained with blood and his soul marked and scarred. Years ago he put down his sword and sought the peace of the church. Taking up a house on the lands of a nunnery, he utilized his skills to hunt and provide fresh food for the secluded nuns of the St. Maurice Abbey.

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,

Moon Bound by AlaraBirch

UPDATED WEEKLY He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school. Unfortunately for Willa, the time among humans denying her wolf instincts has had dire consequences that could ultimately mean her life. Even worse, her homecoming falls on the eve of the Blue Moon Summit, when she will not only have to face her pack leaders but also some of the most powerful leaders from around the world, and she is terrified they could sniff out the truth. Just as she fears she could possibly lose her pack, and everything she has worked for, a chance encounter with a mysterious wolf on the night of the full moon ignites her mate bond and stirs her dormant wolf. Who is her mystery mate, and will he be her liberator or persecutor?

The Vampire of Tinkerfall (Elysium #3) by inkwellheart

Nothing goes better with tea and crumpets than corpses and monsters. ************ With hardly a moment's rest after the case of the experimental corpses, Trinket and Booker are met with a new mystery: a supposed vampire haunting the streets of Tinkerfall. While Booker's scientific mind refuses to buy into fairy tales, Trinket fears this creature could, in fact, be a ghost. A ghost from her tormented past. Determined to learn the identity of the bloodsucking nightwalker, Trinket throws herself into the path of danger and begins to stir up painful memories from both Elysium and her life before the asylum. As she comes closer to learning the truth, she wonders how much longer she can keep her employer in the dark about her unforgivable sins. Perhaps a man fascinated by vicious monsters might also be able to love one. Or maybe he'll condemn her back to the hell from whence she came. It's JANE EYRE meets FRANKENSTEIN in this YA mystery series with a steampunk flair. Sequel to THE EXPERIMENTAL MURDERS. Bonus short stories: NEVER KICK A PUP and THE INSPECTION. Warning: this story involves mental illness and has scenes depicting anxiety attacks and PTSD, as well as suicidal thoughts.
