Hey, Phantom Hood!

What a crazy ride Bedlam was right?!

Well, after a much needed vodka break and some spanktastic pizza,

we decided to put the requests to use again!

You guys decided and now we are headed to one hell of a Silent Night!

Stay tuned for our next investigation at the abandoned Silent Night Theme Park!

Looks like there’s at least one place where Santa will never go.

We’ll be seeing you!

Sincerely,

Your Phantom Chasers.

LITTLE DEMON
I was raised in a world where money and power are at your fingertips. My father is a LORD, a very respected member of a secret society that knows no bounds. When tragedy struck my family, we discovered we weren’t untouchable. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any worse, I was shown what hell is really like. Then he came and saved me. The devil disguised as my personal hero. But of course, nothing is for free. Not when a soul is up for grabs.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
Easton Bradley Sinnett—Sin—uses his power for his own sick pleasure. Like a typical Lord, he never thought about the consequences of his actions. I grew up with him, obsessed over him, craved him. He was who I pictured when I imagined doing things my body shouldn’t want.
One day, I realized he was not who I thought he was. It didn’t change anything, though, because I was already too far gone. If anything, I fell for him harder.
Every now and then, someone enters your life who flips it upside down. Sin wrecked me in the worst way, and I thanked him for it by serving on my knees.
As they say, nothing lasts forever. Men like him never stay with a woman like me. I’m what they use, not keep. So when he threw me away, I shouldn’t have been all that surprised.
My body had always craved the darker side of love. The kind that left bruises and scars. I was what most would call unholy. And when the devil whispered in my ear that he loved me, I was more than determined to show him just how devoted I could be.

My name is Rev.
I like long walks on the beach.
A neat scotch.
And I like stealing from rich losers who have no idea the town’s Big Bad Wolf screwed their wives six ways to Sunday.
Such a scandal, indeed.
I have one end goal—to get out of this town.
I’m a loner. And that’s by choice.
People aren’t really my thing. That is…until I meet her. The little firecracker who sets more than my soul on fire.
No one has ever stuck around.
But Darcie is different. She seems to be as broken as me, and when our worlds collide, nothing but trouble looms.
Watch out, baby…down the rabbit hole we go.

SHE BEAT HIM AT HIS OWN GAME ONCE.NOW IT’S ROUND TWO,AND THIS TIME THEY’RE PLAYING DIRTY.
DAGEN SAINTFive years ago, Nyla stole two million dollars from me and disappeared.Now she’s resurfaced, and I’m determined to settle her debt…one way or another.Hiking in the mountains in my underwear while being hunted by hitmen wasn’t something I thought we’d be doing when I woke up this morning, yet here we are.If we can settle our issues and work together, we just might make it out alive—if we don’t kill each other first.
NYLA JENSENI conned the con five years ago, but he took something I wasn’t prepared to leave behind—my heart.Now I’m stranded in the wilderness with the one person who has every reason to hate me, and we have no choice but to work together, or we’re dead.It turns out surviving the elements and the men who are searching for us is the easy part.The hard part is being close to Dagen, coming clean, and looking him in the eye. Those same eyes I see every time I look at the daughter he doesn’t know we have.
* Wild Saint is the third book in the Vicious Empire dark romance family saga series.

JACK
Tragedy strikes, again.
Four years after suffering the loss of our parents, our brother is murdered right alongside his beautiful wife, the devastation leaving their three children orphaned.
Not only have I lost my brother but now I’m forced to take on his two kids and seventeen-year-old stepdaughter, Penelope.
But Pen is far from the little girl I remember. No. She’s all woman, with soft curves and plush lips—all things I shouldn’t be noticing.
I have three months before she turns eighteen. Three months before she leaves for college. And three months to make sure whatever threat against her life has been thwarted.
Too bad for me, those three months will be nothing but torture laced with temptation, threatening to break my resolve.
Can I come out of this unscathed, or will this lust drag me into the pits of hell where I belong?
PENELOPE
Lies, deceit, and death. It’s all I’ve ever known.
And trusting someone? Out of the question.
Unfortunately, teenager me didn’t get the memo and I stupidly gave my crush-riddled heart to Jack Crown.
He was older, wiser, and apparently a manwhore.
I was his brother’s stepdaughter and way too young. Not on his radar, and justifiably so.
But that didn’t stop me from falling for the only man who’d ever shown me real affection. No. I let myself trust him, thinking he’d always be there. The one constant in my crappy life.
I was wrong.
Now, four years later, tragedy strikes again. By life’s irony I’ve landed on his doorstep with only one thing to prove.
I’m not the little girl he remembers, and I sure as f*ck don’t need him anymore.
Filthy Crown is a spin on the single dad age gap trope where Jack finds himself a new daddy after inheriting his brother's kids and strong-willed stepdaughter. Here's what to expect:
