R.L. Caulder

Have you ever lost yourself in a fantasy world you created? That’s how I’ve survived the years alone in a reality where humans cower in fear of supernatural creatures hiding behind the veil. All I’ve ever had is my pen, my notebook, and the world I created to make it through the days as a ward of the state, suffering at the hands of the real villains of the world...Humans. The pages of my notebook hold five sinful, feared monsters. Ones that I certainly shouldn’t be pining over since they aren’t even real. I question my grip on reality when real life and fantasy collide as my words suddenly come to life. Out of the pages climb each of the beautifully twisted monsters I created with my ink. Magical factions fight for control over me and my monsters, claiming I have the potential to topple empires with my power to create. Dark Imaginarium Academy claims to want to help me learn about my new powers. The Headmistress says they can protect me, but I’m not so sure about that. The one thing I am sure about? I’ll destroy the world if they try to take my monsters from me. Because my creations aren’t just monsters—they’re my soulmates. *** Monsters Within is book one in The Creatures We Crave series, which is set within the shared universe of Dark Imaginarium Academy.

You’d think as the princess to the House of Death, that I would be looked at with respect. You would be wrong. A reject—that’s the best way to describe how I’m treated. All because I’m a hybrid. The Monarchs of Hell revere pure bloodlines and perfection above all else, and in their eyes...I’m a mutt. Good thing Dear Old Dad, the Grim Reaper, has never once looked at me as anything other than his favorite child. Well, I’m his only child, but semantics. Suddenly he has tasked me with the job of going to the Council Summit in his place. An event that happens once every century to determine which Royal House will be voted into the Supreme position. A position people would kill for. Why he thought the person they all regard as trash, is the right person to represent our House is beyond me, but I come to find myself grateful for this chance. Because it allows me to meet them. The princes of each of the other five Houses who make me feel like an equal for the first time in my life. They ignite a fire within me that I’ve never felt before and it scares me. It’s the type of need that I’ve hoped to never feel due to that side of me... my Succubus side. Because what they don’t know is that I’m a fatal attraction. A kiss with me is the kiss of death. Literally. While attempting to convince myself and them that this can’t work, we’re thrown into a war between the six houses for control. Who will survive in this game of deceit and seduction?

He holds me prisoner at his castle, claiming nothing and no one else matters outside of us. That I’ll forget about it all as we start our eternal life together. The man is delusional if he thinks he can stop me from being on the front lines and with the people I love. He’ll learn that even the most powerful being in the realm can’t control me.

Our leaders said it’s an honor to be chosen to go to The Below. I said f*ck that. So close…I was so f*cking close to aging out of the selection process to be offered up to the monsters from The Below. We never knew when we could be taken. It wasn’t some annual date we could mark on a calendar and avoid like a plague. We were at the complete whims of the monsters and their demands—demands that have increased over the past few years. Rumors say the monsters ate all of their sacrifices, that their appetites weren’t easily appeased anymore, but I wasn’t convinced that was all. What I did know for sure was that anyone selected was never seen again. Two days before my twenty-fifth birthday, my name was drawn—only forty-eight short hours from becoming exempt. How could life be so cruel? I refused to accept this fate. I’d run. I’d fight. I’d do everything but give in. Yet, The Below is a hostile, foreign terrain hellbent on killing all humans. Our bodies aren’t designed to survive there. My only chance of living long enough to escape—give in to the monster's desires. Only they could give me what I needed. In return, they’d use me for their own needs. Needs that I shouldn’t want, but found myself craving. When they claimed I was their salvation, I started to second guess myself. They revered me like their queen with soft touches and a protectiveness that made my knees weak… I wondered if I wanted to leave anymore. Was this why no one ever returned to The Above? *** Captured by the Monsters is a reverse harem standalone romance that will not end in a cliffhanger. Material is intended for mature audiences.

Being the sole survivor of the Van Helsing family was never a burden I wanted to carry. Yet here I was, an orphan with a score to settle against Dracula for orchestrating the near genocide of my bloodline.

Being admitted into the Dark Imaginarium Academy to hone my new skills as a vampire, and to survive the blood lust, was the first step towards achieving that particular goal. No one was prepared for me…A vampire slayer amidst their ranks. But I wasn’t prepared for them. Lincoln, Andrei, and Drake. They weren't going to let me get my revenge without blood being spilled.
