UPDATED FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON (as of March 3rd, 2024). BOOK 1 IN EVERDARK TALES SERIES. She never could have predicted that visiting her sick grandmother would change her life forever. If she knew from the start how it ends, would she still make the same choices? Did she ever even have any choice to begin with? Prey. Once again, I get a feeling like someone is watching. It may be only my imagination playing tricks, but there’s a captivating energy in the air. My heart skips a beat—I can swear I’m not alone. If I glance toward the windows, will I see a silhouette emerging in the dark? The thought of unknown eyes lingering on me should make my skin crawl in fear. Instead, it’s the most excitement I’ve felt in months. I catch myself adoring this thrill coursing through my veins, and I immerse in the fantasies of my stalker…. Predator. As I stand in the complete blackness of the night, hidden away from the moonlight by the tree shadows, an overwhelming wave of guilt crashes over me—a tide forceful enough to pull even a beast like me under. I know I shouldn’t be here, shouldn’t be watching, but there’s no help for myself. It’s an addiction, a compulsion that I’m powerless to break free from. The animal in me is much stronger than any of the decency I have left of my humanity. I continue to spy, unable to tear my eyes away from her…. RED is a dark and steamy modern reimagining of the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood where the villain gets the girl. Mature and potentially triggering themes. Reader discretion is advised. less

When the beast turns out to be the king of the condemned, she is thrown into a hidden realm where not everything is as it appears, and the lines between good and evil blur. Bound to him by fate, she struggles to understand her role, teetering on the edge of what she once knew and the real truth. Meanwhile, shadowy forces, darker and more dangerous than she could have ever imagined, are at play, threatening them both... moreWhen the beast turns out to be the king of the condemned, she is thrown into a hidden realm where not everything is as it appears, and the lines between good and evil blur. Bound to him by fate, she struggles to understand her role, teetering on the edge of what she once knew and the real truth. Meanwhile, shadowy forces, darker and more dangerous than she could have ever imagined, are at play, threatening them both. With no extraordinary powers to rely on, but her love alone, can she become the queen he needs? They never tell us what happens after the princess kisses the prince. Does 'happily ever after' even exist? This story dares to ask—and flips the script. Because this time, it's the villain who gets the girl. But winning her heart? That was the easy part. The real challenge starts now… and monsters like him don’t play by the rules. THE WOLF is an even darker and spicier continuation of RED—for the best enjoyment, the first book should be read before. Book 2 in the Everdark Tales series. Carefully read the author's note first. You can also visit the author's website for additional info—byrileycsmith. com. less
