Hayle Coven Novels

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

[BL] Thriller Trainee

[BL] Thriller Trainee

Author: Wang Ya Genre: Unlimited Flow, Horror, Supernatural Pesulap Zong Jiu yang sudah tidak bernyawa bertransmigrasi ke dalam novel horor dengan alur cerita yang tak terbatas tentang pertunjukan bertahan hidup, menggantikan umpan meriam yang meninggal secara tragis di babak evaluasi pertama. Pertunjukan ini sangat menarik. Dari puluhan ribu orang, hanya seratus orang yang dapat bertahan hidup, dan posisi c (pesaing terkuat) bahkan dapat memperoleh tiket keinginan universal. Kalau orang lain, mereka mungkin akan ketakutan setengah mati. Tak seorang pun menyangka bahwa Zong Jiu tidak hanya tak kenal takut, tetapi juga menimbulkan kehebohan yang sensasional, tanpa malu-malu memamerkan triknya sepanjang jalan. Setelah tipu muslihatnya berhenti, dan hidupnya dapat dianggap aman dan tenteram, ia berakhir dalam persaingan dengan penjahat besar dalam novel tersebut. Hari ini kau berusaha menyerangku, besok aku akan menyerangmu lagi, bolak-balik, itu cukup menyenangkan, heh. Alhasil, meski hanya main-main, suatu kali mereka terbawa suasana dan benar-benar berakhir tidur bersama. Melihat musuh bebuyutan yang menekannya ke tanah, Zong Jiu dengan malas mengangkat pandangannya. "Jika kau ingin membunuhku, bunuh saja aku, jangan bicara omong kosong." Bahkan saat dalam posisi yang kurang menguntungkan, dia tidak menunjukkan sedikit pun rasa takut, dan malah terus memprovokasinya. Orang itu menggunakan jarinya yang sedingin es untuk menelusuri telinganya, dan gerakan menuju aorta tiba-tiba terhenti. “Sayang sekali. Aku sudah berubah pikiran.” — Dulu dia sangat ingin membunuh Zong Jiu secara pribadi. Setiap hari, dia selalu menyesal karena tidak mencungkil dagingnya, mematahkan lehernya sendiri. Namun setelah orang ini jatuh ke tangannya, keinginan lain yang lebih mendesak tumbuh seperti rumput liar. Dibandingkan menang atau kalah, ia lebih suka melihatnya menangis dan terengah-engah, dengan mata merah, memohon belas kasihan.

Ma Vie de Propriétaire de Ferme dans un Monde de Thriller

Ma Vie de Propriétaire de Ferme dans un Monde de Thriller

Après avoir perdu son emploi, Wan Qian hérite de façon inattendue de la propriété d'un grand-oncle éloigné—une ferme isolée à la campagne. Elle pensait à l'origine pouvoir profiter d'une vie rurale paisible, travaillant au lever du soleil et se reposant au coucher du soleil. Cependant, elle découvre bientôt que la ferme est incroyablement étrange—les animaux de la ferme produisent des récoltes, des chuchotements bruissent depuis l'armoire à minuit, et ce qui coule du robinet n'est pas de l'eau claire mais un épais liquide rouge… Plus absurde encore, les stagiaires qui viennent travailler « démissionnent » toujours mystérieusement, ne laissant qu'un majordome calme et composé qui lui remet chaque jour un nouveau contrat de travail avec un sourire. Face à tout cela, Wan Qian retrousse optimistement ses manches : « Très bien, gérer une ferme n'est pas facile. Je dois trouver un moyen de la rendre rentable. » Alors, en utilisant une logique de travail extravagante et son expérience en gestion agricole, elle apprivoise un dieu eldritch pour en faire un chien de garde, engage un boucher de minuit comme chef cuisinier, et recrute même une fille sans visage comme comptable… Alors que d'autres tremblent de peur, elle patrouille tranquillement dans les terres agricoles : « Pas de relâchement ! Si les objectifs de performance ne sont pas atteints, vos salaires seront réduits. » Ainsi, une ferme où « humains, fantômes et monstres » coexistent est officiellement ouverte aux affaires ! —L'horreur ? Pas du tout. Avec les bonnes attributions de travail, chaque fantôme et monstre peut devenir un travailleur modèle dans l'entreprise !
