![]() Battling against the emerging web of lies, manipulation, and danger, Seven must remember who she was meant to be. And, with the Enhanced still out there, nowhere is truly safe for the Untamed–least of all for the most powerful Seer in the world… and Seven soon discovers how far people will go in order to ensure that she’s on their side in the War of Humanity. ![]() ![]() But that’s easier said than done in a tribe where going against the rules automatically results in death. With their customs dictating that she must marry into their tribe, and her relationship with Corin breaking down, Seven knows she has to do something before it’s too late. But the Zharat lifestyle is a far cry from what Seven’s used to. So, when the opportunity arises to join the Zharat, one of the last surviving Untamed tribes, it seems like the perfect solution. With the Enhanced closing in, Seven knows they need to find other people on their side. ![]() About Fragmented (Untamed Series, #2) After the terrible battle against the Enhanced Ones, Seven and Corin find themselves on the run. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Ritual is dark and totally pushes boundaries with how filthy it is, but everything is perfectly in line with these characters and fits within the bound of their kink. ![]() The Ritual is right up there as one that had me turning pages at all hours needing to figure out what was going to happen next. This is what makes her storytelling brilliant! Her twisty plots intertwined with dark themes continually draw me back to her books. Then she gives the appearance that nothing is what is seems until your mind is completely blown. There are so many layers to this story, which Shantel is a master at revealing at the opportune time. Now it’s senior year and it’s time for his reward and her name is Blakely. Ryat loves the order, the rush, the power, the dominance of it all and he’s been a stellar member following every rule. Lords are important members of society, anything from senators to CEO’s and they are lawless within their world. His father, his father’s father, and so forth have all been members of this secret society. Ryat has known he would be a Lord his entire life. ![]() Shantel lifts the blindfold off of a moraless secret society and it’s sinfully delicious.

Genre/Tropes: Suspense/Dark/Secret Society/New Adult Romance ![]() ![]() ![]() I have included the “witches” who are thought to cause harm to people – because I have seen how this list has been used over the past several years. You will also find some mythical beasts from epics and folktales. This list includes ‘creatures,’ ‘monsters,’ spirits, folkloric beings, ‘witches,’ and mythical beasts, who are generally thought to cause harm or illness to people if they are not properly respected or given offering. So, five years after initially launching this list I have finally spent the last week updating descriptions, adding entries, and most importantly, including sources – something I always encourage others to do. Over time, and with reader’s help, I realized there were some discrepancies, possibly incorrect regions, and many missing entries. Sadly, I didn’t have the time to keep up with it. ![]() A few years ago I thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful if a place existed where I could access the names of the documented creatures and the regions from which they come? I started this list and it quickly grew to well over 250 beings. I used to lament about what a pain in the butt it is to pull them all out every time I get curious about a mythical being. I have dozens resources that I use when I am researching the mythical beings and folkloric beliefs of the Philippines. ![]() (function($) (jQuery)) var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true) Īn alphabetical list of over 370 Creatures & Mythical Beings from Philippine Folklore & Mythology ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He frequently speaks about issues related to Florida, climate change, and storytelling, including at DePaul, MIT, and the Guggenheim.

Stevens is strongly influenced by his father. Although throughout much of the story it seems that Stevens is quite content to have served Lord Darlington-believing that Darlington was doing noble things at the time-Stevens expresses deep regret at the end of the story for failing to cultivate both intimate relationships and his own personal viewpoints and experiences. He never tells anyone what he is truly feeling, and he gives his absolute trust to Lord Darlington-a man who himself makes some very poor choices in his life. Although there is merit in the ideas of decorum and loyalty, Stevens takes these concepts to an extreme. For Stevens, "dignity" involves donning a mask of professional poise at all times. A mercilessly precise man, his relentless pursuit of "dignity" leads him to constantly deny his own feelings throughout the novel. Stevens, the head butler at Darlington Hall, is the protagonist and narrator of The Remains of the Day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or if you have a questions please email us at before purchase as we do not cancel pre-orders.
