Soothing Nightmares

2021

I didn’t fear my nightmares. I loved them... and they loved me. I had never been afraid of the dark. Abandoned on the front step of ISS, I’d spent my entire life thriving in the realm of darkness that most humans avoided. I was a woman living among monsters. Arabella was abandoned at the front steps of INSTITUTUM SEQUUNTUR SOMNIA (ISS) one stormy night, only to be found and brought in by the monsters that lived there. An institute of nightmares that housed the most dangerous creatures that walked the plane of humanity. A place that trained and harnessed those abilities for their own use, while defending against the humans that were constantly attacking them. But what happens when a young human woman grows up among the nightmares? Feeling no fear but instead taking comfort in her team that she surrounded herself by? By all regards, Arabella shouldn’t have fit in at the institute. Nothing like the warrior-like creatures around her, the 5’1’’ young woman with pink hair and a vision impairment was absolutely fundamental to her team. Not just for her strategic brilliance but her soothing lack of fear that seemed to tame the nightmares around her. Arabella is bound and determined to keep her monstrous men safe while they are on their missions. What happens when their most recent mission attracts the wrong type of attention? What happens when ISS comes under attack and everything that she values is destroyed? Join Arabella and her possessive nightmares as one human woman finds the monster within herself to protect those that she loves. The ISS series is promised to feature terrifying monsters that include everything from the literal monster under the bed to Lucifer’s overbearing son, the prince of Hell. If you love large harems, brilliant, sassy, but slightly naive female main characters with no fear, and a thrilling adventure filled with steam, vengeance, and a happily ever after, then you are absolutely going to love this.

I crave my nightmares. I crave the shadows. I don’t want the light if it doesn’t include them… The human terror organization MAM has come to our doorstep—we just don’t know what they want. When a nightmare who resides in the high-security section of the institute tells us that this chaos, this hate that the humans feel is because of a god terror, we realize that the solution to our problems lies outside of the institute walls. Walls I’ve never left before… Something that is about to change. Traveling across the country in an RV with my nightmares? What could possibly go wrong? Apparently a lot, and when we find ourselves in a nightmare forest far from home, we realize that our problem is so much worse than we ever imagined. Will we be able to save the institute, or will chaos and hate reign supreme?

Defeating Nightmares

2022

I would remind the humans why they feared the dark…and why I loved it. Our home is under threat, and I was across the country being threatened by a god terror in the Oceanic Forest. To say our situation is far from ideal is an understatement… So when Hate threatens my mates, something is unleashed in me that none of us could have expected. Something that puts us down a path that could change the game for everyone. A path that includes confronting those threatening other nightmares, coming to the realization that the threat is so much larger than we originally assumed, and saving someone…who is a lot like me. If the humans continue to fight by the side of god terrors trying to topple society, we’re going to have to take action. We’ll have to remind them why they fear the dark to begin with. Join Arabella and her possessive nightmares as one human woman finds the monster within herself to protect those that she loves.

Loving Nightmares

2023

I would go to war to protect the nightmares I loved. War was at our doorstep threatening to kill my father, and with him were enough humans that if battle ensued, it would make national headlines. Ones that would only further divide and enhance the hatred between humans and nightmares. War had to be defeated, I just didn’t know how. My answer comes in the unlikeliest of avenues—traveling across the world to a remote island to find a group of people I’d never met but couldn’t consider strangers. With their help, we would be able to break the compulsion that allowed War to hold the humans hostage…and hopefully bring an end to this for once and for all. Loving Nightmares is the final book in the ISS series. Join Arabella and her possessive nightmares as one human woman finds the monster within herself to protect those she loves.
