Unwrapping Ember
After a secluded and lonely upbringing, Ember finally gets the chance to experience the freedom of the outside world when she goes off to college. Yet, she is immediately disappointed to find that the life she had always dreamt of falls short of her expectations.
When a brutal attack leaves her isolated, spiraling, and forced into silence through blackmail, Ember turns to the one person she has always felt secure with—her overly-protective, older stepbrother, Koda, who disappeared from her life years ago without a trace or explanation.
A random blizzard disrupts her Christmas plans, leaving Ember unexpectedly snowed in with Koda and his roommates, struggling with forbidden temptations and a dark secret she battles to conceal.
However, she isn't the only one with a secret.
Koda had always held a soft spot for Ember and grappled with the concept of right and wrong all his life.
After one night of mistakes, lies, and the ultimate betrayal, Koda vanishes from Ember's life, fearing he would let her down and pull her into the darkness that consumed him.
He believed he had moved on from the forbidden feelings he struggled with growing up, but when Ember shows up on his doorstep in the dead of night, he realizes those feelings never truly disappeared. Now that she is back in his grasp, he's determined to see where they might lead.
As the truth about Ember's secret, as well as Koda's, unfolds, their eyes are suddenly opened to each other's true desires, and before they know it, both of them come to realize that their once buried feelings never truly vanished.

With her mother embarking on a new relationship and a dinner planned to meet her boyfriend and his sons the day after Cupid vomits pink roses and candy hearts all over the world, Skylar just wants the meaningless, overplayed holiday to end.
However, a chance encounter one evening with a group of newcomers in town—some intriguing bikers—leads Skylar to accept an invitation to a Valentine’s Day party, secretly hoping this might break Cupid's stupid curse once and for all.
And for one wild, euphoric night, it seems to work, and the curse placed upon her by the chubby, naked baby armed with an arrow seems to finally lift.
But when she arrives the next day to the dreadful dinner her mother planned, Skylar is confronted with a shocking twist that she never saw coming, and it makes Cupid’s ridiculous curse the least of her concerns.

Psycho Boys
The screech of tires and the crunch of metal nearly drown out Calista's terrified screams, but I can still hear them cutting through the chaos. Footsteps nearing from my left ignite a flicker of hope—someone may be coming to help us.
Yet, that hope quickly fades as, through a thick veil of smoke, I glimpse a figure clad in black, dragging Cali away from the wreckage, slipping beyond my reach.
Now she's gone, leaving the three of us to unravel the mystery of her disappearance. Our singular mission is to unleash chaos upon the city that seeks to consume us, to immerse us in the darkness we've been fighting to escape—all in hopes of finding Calista alive.
Taking matters into our own hands, we pause where she left off, and craft our own list of monsters to confront, each one a potential key to her return, and a chance to finish what she began.
Embracing the shadows with open arms, we become more twisted, more unhinged, more psychotic. If Cali could see us now, she’d be bursting with fucking pride.
We won't rest until she's back with us, and anyone who stands in our way better fucking watch out.
We’re here to play—and play we shall. Whoever took her is going to fucking regret it.

Little Psycho
I spent my life on a pedestal, cloaked in red and black, and forced to be a good girl and obey, while I was used and abused for everyone else's pleasure.
I kept a list of names of those who had wronged me, and prayed for the day when I'd be able to get my revenge; on it were the names of my best friend's fathers.

No one wanted me to talk.
But that was okay, because talking was the last thing I wanted to do.
When the opportunity to flee fell into my lap, I took it, running as far as I could with the voices in my head and my best friend Addy beside me.

Now it's my time to ruin theirs.
