Opal (Jewels Cafe)
Candace Wondrak
One spelled pumpkin spice latte. Three handsome but unfriendly neighbors. A town where the unexplained might just be magical…
When Opal moves to the town of Silver Springs, the last thing she expects is to be greeted by three ridiculously attractive men as her neighbors. Unfortunately, they’re kind of jerks. Getting along with her neighbors is the least of her worries though; she has a writing deadline to meet, and to meet that deadline she’ll need lots of caffeine.
One pumpkin spice latte later, the bickering between Opal and her cute neighbors changes into something fiery, something passionate. Fighting her feelings just might be impossible, and the only way to undo it is to figure out just what was so special about that latte.
Will Opal’s heart win out, or will her head? Maybe that latte wasn’t such a bad thing after all…
Opal is a standalone reverse harem romance. It is part of the Jewels Café series and contains steamy scenes.

Her Pack (Her Pack #1)
Candace Wondrak
A Reverse Harem Shifter Romance
An unclaimed female wolf shifter is a rarity, kind of like a unicorn. Highly-sought after, even fought for. But if Maia has her way, she’ll stay unclaimed. Maybe it’s a human way of thinking, but she should get to decide who to be with. It isn’t asking for the world. On the run from her old pack due to a slight misunderstanding with her intended mate—meaning a claw to his throat—Maia stumbles upon a quaint town in the middle of nowhere. What she does not expect is the trifecta of misfit wolves who’ve made the town their home. Alarick, the understanding, calm and collected alpha. Farkas, the sarcastic and witty beta. Grimm, the tall, dark and handsome loner. All ridiculously sexy, and they instantly make her question her beliefs. Maybe being claimed wouldn’t be such a bad thing… Her Pack is a steamy, reverse harem standalone.
Cruel Black Hearts (Cruel Black Hearts #1)
Candace Wondrak
A Dark Why Choose Romance.
My name is Stella, and I am empty. I am broken. I am nothing.
The only thing I enjoy about my life is my job at the Tribune. My focus in both my editorial and my personal writing involves serial killers. Even my best friend doesn’t understand my obsession with them. No one does.
Until I meet them.
Until Lincoln and Edward come crashing into my life, setting a fire inside me and awakening parts of me I never knew existed. Lust, desire, total submission. Together, they make me feel alive. Almost whole.
Instantly I realize they’re both hiding something from me. Edward and Lincoln are not who they pretend to be—there’s a darkness inside of them, and it’s just like mine. Beasts waiting to emerge.
But their darkness is not the only thing stalking my thoughts. There’s a killer on the prowl, making his victims pray to their gods after he kills them. I call him the Angel Maker—and I, I just might be his next angel.
This is a why choose dark romance intended for 18+ readers.

Crooked Heart (A Death So Sweet, #2)
Candace Wondrak
Blood. Death. Control. A girl with a crooked, vengeful heart like me wasn’t made for a happy ending.
It’s me again. Lola Harding, the Night Slayer, the girl who f*cked up and killed a crime lord’s son. The Lucianos are using me however they like, and that’s fine. It’s kind of fun to never know when you’re going to breathe your last breath.
But… now they know the truth. My truth. My past and how ugly it is. The things that turn girls into their worst nightmares. I’ve seen the devil and smiled.
I’m not afraid. Not of the DeLucas, the blood enemies of the Lucianos. Not of the scheming or the plotting. Put me on a stage and tell me to sing, and I’ll give you the best damn show you’ve ever seen.
I do not fear death. I’ve been waiting for it my entire life. But Maddox, Sylvester, and Viper make my heart feel things it never has before. Cliched? You f*cking bet, but life has a way of laughing at you, giving you the things you never knew you wanted before stealing the rug out from under you.
We’re all on the same wild ride here, and we’re heading towards disaster.
And this time? This time it’ll be my fault.
**Crooked Heart is the second in a planned trilogy. It is an RH/Why Choose series, meaning there are multiple love interests, steamy scenes, and some things you might find triggering: violence, mentions of abuse, etc.**
Shadowed Heart (A Death So Sweet, #1)
Candace Wondrak
Murder. Payback. Chaos. If you’re looking for a story about unicorns and rainbows, this ain’t it. Now, if you’re in the mood for something a little psychotic and a whole lot crazy, then you’re in the right place.
I’m Lola Harding. My parents used to call me their angel, but they’re dead now. For the last few years, I’ve made a name for myself—the Night Slayer. I stalk the clubs and make sure anyone with greedy hands and stupid ideas is permanently taken off the streets.
One night I happen to kill the son of a crime lord, and then everything changes.
They’re going to kill me, I know, but until they do, I’m to be their pet, wear their leash, and do whatever they say. The Lucianos are a family full of psychos and hatred… and I just might fit in better than I ever did anywhere else.
And as a bonus? The other sons are the handsome and dangerous type, and even though they despise me for what I did to their brother, even though there might not be any light left for me at the end of this tunnel… I plan to enjoy the ride.
Buckle up, b*tches, because it’s about to get wild.

Skank (Hillcrest University #3)
Candace Wondrak
I thought Hillcrest and the handsome, sexy students in it would be my undoing. I was wrong.
This place isn’t a new start. The feud between Sawyer, Travis, and Declan doesn’t matter. It never did. I was blind to it, but what happened to Will and what happened to me has opened my eyes.
I, Ashley Bonds, am a liar. These pretty boys don’t know the real me, but they’re about to find out just how twisted I really am.
Hillcrest was never going to be my end. My ruin has been with me all along, watching, waiting, stalking. A true monster in the darkness. When my past comes to light, everything I built here, everything I have with the guys is over.
The truth is a bitch, and it cuts like a knife in the gut. This is my unraveling.
*Skank is a darker romance, meaning there are topics that might offend you. Self-harm, suicide, stalking, bullying themes, and more to come. Be warned.*
Freak (Hillcrest University #2)
Candace Wondrak
Things are a lot messier at Hillcrest than I believed. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself, and especially not the handsome students around me.
HU was supposed to help me move on, be a fresh start, but then I walked into a feud between Sawyer and Declan. The hatred between them is palpable, and yet I find myself in the middle, somehow. And Travis? Don’t get me started on that one. He might be sexy, but he gives a new definition to the word psycho.
None of them are innocent, I now know, but what their crimes are is anyone’s guess. Am I the only innocent one around here? No, no I’m not.
My heart is torn between these broken, beautiful bullies, and I don’t know what to think. My heart, it turns out, isn’t the only thing on the line. What happened that night in the dorm was only the beginning, and my life is about to change forever with what I discover.
Travis was right. We are all monsters at Hillcrest, even me.
**Freak is a darker romance, meaning there are topics that might offend you. Self-harm, suicide, stalking, and more to come in future books. Be warned.**
A Dark College Bully Romance.
Loser (Hillcrest University #1)
Candace Wondrak
The legacy of Hillcrest University starts out just like any other. A girl, some boys, a bit of mystery…a noose. Actually, it all begins with the noose. A noose, a note, and a corpse. And a pretty one at that…
I thought coming to HU would help me move on from my past, help me get a good start on my future. A school for rich boys? Please. I’ve dealt with worse than them before. If they want to use me for whatever games they’re playing, they’ll have to try a lot harder than they’re used to. They think I’ll willingly walk into their feud, choose sides.
Declan is the tortured soul, the cute, depressed roommate who I’m supposed to watch over. Sawyer is the king of the school; everyone follows his command—and his money. Travis is…my kind of trouble: sexy, tattooed, a bit mysterious. Sawyer blames Declan for his sister’s death, but me? I know sometimes the ones pointing their fingers are the worst of all.
Did someone kill his sister? I know better than to assume their innocence. In a place like Hillcrest, you can’t trust anyone. Declan, Sawyer, and Travis? They all wear masks. The better question is: if someone killed her, are they going to come after me next?
These rich, entitled brats have no idea who they’re messing with.
**Loser is a darker romance, meaning there are topics that might offend you. Self-harm, suicide, stalking, and more to come in future books. Be warned.**
Voyeur (Voyeur, #1)
Candace Wondrak
Welcome to the Dollhouse, where devils rule.
I used to be a good girl. I did everything right. But then I came home and found my boyfriend in bed with my sister, so I left, eventually finding myself at the Dollhouse—a strip club. No good girl would be caught dead at the Dollhouse, but like I said, that was the old me.
The new me?
The new me likes it dirty. Likes it rough. I like being put on display and watched… and he likes watching. He will do anything to take me as his own and make me his in every sick way possible.
He wants to own me. To control me.
Roman is a devil in a suit, the kind of dangerous man who can bend anyone to his will. Together, with his partner in crime, Carter, he dominates me the moment we meet.
But I still have a mind of my own, my own wants and desires that include a sweet, kind, and dangerously cute neighbor of mine. If Roman wants to keep me, he’ll either have to cage me or bow to me once in a while.
Even devils can break.
Voyeur is a dark RH/Why Choose romance, recommended 18+. It is a standalone novel full of graphic sex scenes and a bit of violence.
Rot
Candace Wondrak

She said I can't escape it, no matter how hard I try. She was right. My mother and I are out of options, so we had to run. Leave behind the life we both knew without looking back.

Cruel Control (The Desecration of Innocence, #1)
Candace Wondrak
Sometimes the worst monsters in the world are the ones we let close.
Daddy keeps me locked away. For my own good, he says. The world is a dark and terrible place, full of people who will take advantage of you, hurt you… maybe even kill you. I don’t know what he does, only that his clients are of the rich variety.
But one day he doesn’t come home, and I wake to find a stranger in my room.
Whisked away, stolen to a house on the outskirts of Midpark, I’m no more than a pawn, something the devil himself can control. Daddy crossed the devil, and now I’m to pay for his sins.
What is the devil’s name, you ask?
Markus Scott. And Markus will not stop until I fall in line.
This innocence of mine has no place in a hell like this.
**The Desecration of Innocence series will contain triggers. Violence and gore, among other things. This is the first book in a RH/Why Choose series, meaning our girl will not have to choose. The men in this series are not heroes, so if you need that in your romance, turn back now. You’ve been warned. Markus doesn’t play nice.**
The Blessed Undead (Return to Sleepy Hollow #2)
Candace Wondrak
Just when you think you have your life under control, life shows up to kick you right where it hurts.
After dealing with the spirit who wanted to possess me, I thought things would settle down in Sleepy Hollow. Bones and Crane are trying to get along, and I’m dating both of them. I’m happy, even with Wash as my stoic, ridiculously handsome bodyguard.
Yes, I’d named the Headless Horseman Washington. Sue me.
But, it turns out, the spirits aren’t done with me yet, and I’m about to find out that an old soul wants me, and Wash. With my feelings for Wash only growing, and my relationships with Bones and Crane solid, the last thing I want to do is let an old witch ruin the life I’m trying to build.
My name is Kat Aleson, and I’m about to show that old witch how twenty-first century bitches handle things.
The Blessed Undead is the second part of a RH/why choose duology, drawing inspiration from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Vicious Heart (Born to Die #3)
Candace Wondrak
Just when you think things will settle down and you can finally relax with your three deliciously sinful boyfriends… life proves you wrong.
I thought I saved the day. I thought the big bad was defeated. I was wrong. The big bad wasn’t really the big bad—someone was helping the serial killer from day one, pushing him after me while he sat back and watched.
He calls himself the prophet, but I call him mad. He sends out broadcasts to entice others just like him to join his little gang.
He wants to retake the city from us—from the Lucianos, from Newton, and all the men like him. And from me.
But we’re not going to let that happen.
It’s war now, and after nearly dying the last time, I won’t sit back and wait until he comes for me. No. I’m gonna meet that b*tch head-on and show him just how vicious my heart can really be.
I caught myself a serial killer, and now I’m gonna catch myself a Mad Prophet.
One, two,
I’m coming for you.
Three, four,
you’ll never say a word more.
Five, six…
Ah, f*ck it. Nothing rhymes with six.
Violent Delights
Candace Wondrak
A beast. A beauty. A twisted tale as old as time itself.
My father stole from the devil, and now the devil wants payment: his life. But my father makes a deal and tells the devil he can have my life instead.
Maximus is dark, cold, vicious and violent. His desire is wild and his heart is as black as they come. Pain, pleasure; it’s all the same to the devil himself.
I can’t escape, and the weird thing is, I don’t want to. I might fight, but deep down, I know it right away: the fire is explosive and addictive… and it hurts. Love, hate; it all hurts.
I guess it’s true, what they say.
These violent delights have violent ends.
Reckless (Midpark High #3)
Candace Wondrak
Who knew it’d be hard to start new when you’re on the hook for murder?
Someone’s out to get me in Midpark. They want to make me look bad, guilty of a crime I didn’t commit. The only question right now is who could play the game better than all of us?
The truth is set to come out. Things are going to get worse before they get better, and soon more blood will be shed in Midpark. The puppet master wants to make me look bad, but anything he does only brings me closer to my guys—to Dante and Vaughn. Even Jacob.
Archer? I might forgive him for what he did. Maybe.
Someone in Midpark is wearing a mask. By the time I find out who it is, it might just be too late.
**Reckless is the third and final book in the Midpark High trilogy. There are steamy scenes, along with multiple love interests. This trilogy gets darker as the series goes on.**
Defiant (Midpark High #2)
Candace Wondrak
I was lied to. Purposefully misled and embarrassed. But I’m not down and out yet.
Coming to Midpark was hard. I left everything behind me, and now I come to find out I can’t trust anyone here.
The charming jock used me and tossed me aside, lying to me all the while—and the bad boy? The bad boy apparently comes from a family who deals in illegal business daily. And that says nothing about the new psycho in town. His name is Dante, and he’s tall, dark, and handsome in all the ways that drive me crazy.
Then there’s Jacob, my private investigator. There’s something he’s not telling me, but I’ll let him have his secrets. I have much bigger fish to fry, anyway.
These rich Midpark kids will get theirs, even if it’s the last thing I do. The thing is…not all of us are going to make it out of this alive.
**Defiant is the second book in the Midpark High trilogy. There are steamy scenes, along with multiple love interests. There is an age gap, a bully/enemies-to-lovers situation, and a quiet psycho - along with a not-so-quiet one. Everyone in the book is 18 years of age or older. This trilogy gets darker as the series goes on.**
Feisty (Midpark High #1)
Candace Wondrak
In Midpark, lies come as easy as smiles.
After my mom forced us to uproot our life and move to a fancy new town, I’m effectively the outsider. Still, somehow a charming jock and a dangerous bad boy catch my attention.
Not even a week into our new lives, something is wrong. The man my mom works for is hiding something, and I think my crush’s family, the Scotts, are a part of it. More than one person has gone missing here. Midpark might look shiny and new, but underneath it lies a darkness no one can deny.
I’ve been lied to, used and discarded. I can’t trust anyone around here. Everyone has their secrets…and some of them are deadly.
The rich have their vices, and when they have enough money to cover up their crimes, it’s always people like me who end up paying the price.
Feisty is the first book in the Midpark High trilogy. There are steamy scenes, along with multiple love interests. Everyone in the book is 18 years of age or older. Just as a warning, future books in the trilogy will get darker. A High School Bully Romance
Psycho (Hillcrest University #4)
Candace Wondrak
It’s official. I’ve come undone. My time at Hillcrest only led to my undoing. My past finally caught up to me, and now I’m in my ex’s hands. Ray, the Midtown Strangler, my serial killer ex who got off on a technicality. When I’m with him, I can almost forget what I saw at that party.
Almost.
But the truth is there is no forgetting it, and being with Ray only reminds me of the past, the past I’d tried so hard to forget. Ray is a psycho, and to get away from him—to truly be free of him—I have to turn to my own psychos for help.
It’s time for the truth, and it’s going to hurt. The past isn’t what matters most; it’s the future. We’ll have to fight for the right to have that future. If the handsome, rich boys at Hillcrest want to come out of this alive, they’ll have to look past their differences and stand by me.
It’s do or die.
Psycho is a darker romance, meaning there are topics that might offend you. Self-harm, suicide, stalking, graphic violence, bullying themes, and more to come. Be warned.
Liar (Hillcrest University #6)
Candace Wondrak
The legacy of Hillcrest started with a noose…and it will end with one.
My second semester at Hillcrest is set to be much quieter than my first. I have my boyfriends and classes to focus on. No more mysteries, no more stalkers, and no more murders.
Or, at least I thought so.
Someone turns up dead, and I know the police are wrong. It isn’t Ray. A new monster has decided to come out and play, and he wants me. They always want me. I’m a magnet to the psychos and the killers. This semester will be no different than my last.
The truth cuts like a knife. No amount of preparation can ready me for it.
Someone in my bed is a killer, a liar, and once I know his truth, things will never be the same.
**Liar is the final book in the Hillcrest saga. It is a darker romance, meaning there are topics that might offend you, including violence, stalking, mentions of suicide, and more. There are some RH elements as well. Be warned.**
Sins
Candace Wondrak
There’s something wrong with me. Something dark, something twisted. Daddy always said I could make even the holiest of men sin…and you know what? He was right.
After being stolen for five years, my life is not my own. It’s unrecognizable. A new house, a new family…even stepbrothers. I’m the face America has prayed for, but I don’t want to be. I was safe when I was away, and now that I’m back in Midpark, the monsters will come out and play.
Cruel. Vicious. Evil. Everyone sins, but some sins are worse than others. Some sins just can’t be forgiven, and it’s only when they enter my life that I realize this. Handsome and dangerous, Zane and Thorn make me question everything I thought I knew.
Maybe I could have a life. Maybe I can ignore the darkness inside and forget the terrors of my past. Maybe they could teach me what love really means, how to fight back against the bullies in my life.
Or maybe not. Maybe this new beginning is simply my ending.
Sind is a dark standalone novel, centering around a girl in high school who’s never had a good life. There is some bullying, along with mentions of abuse and graphic violence. This is also an MFM romance, so be warned.

Candace Wondrak
Welcome to Hillcrest University, where the guys are dangerous, the love is hard, and the consequences are killer.

Travis, the tattooed, mysterious outsider who radiates danger with everything he does. And who can forget Will, Decan’s older, more mature brother?
The feud between them isn’t the only problem in Hillcrest, though. They’re not the only ones with murky pasts.

But the past has a way of creeping up on you, and I’m about to find out that my past just might be the worst of them all. What I did…how could anyone forgive that? I don’t deserve forgiveness, but it's okay. My men aren’t the forgiving type.
With the FBI inching in, with my killers and my Angel Maker by my side, time is ticking. Tick, tick, tick. When the gig is up and the curtain is drawn, when all of our mistakes are known, will there be anything left—or will we die in the same darkness we survived in for so long?

My name is Kat Aleson. My dad named me after Katrina - if you've heard the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, you know the one. I didn't know my dad well, because after he and my mom divorced, I only spent my summers in Sleepy Hollow. But when I get news that my dad is dead, I have to go back.
Sleepy Hollow hasn't changed. Its people still believe in the legends, and especially the one about crossing that particular bridge. My childhood friend, Bones, is all grown up. The town hero, all muscles and dimples. My childhood crush that I thought was gone? Not so gone after all. And let's not even talk about Crane, the strange, rich eccentric who was working with my dad until he died.
I'm drawn to them both, almost like fate wants a replay of the legend. Kat torn between her childhood friend and the new man in her life. The only problem is that there's another part of the equation, and he's the most dangerous of them all.
The spirits want me, and soon I learn they'll do anything to have me. I'm the key to this whole thing. Sleepy Hollow will never be the same.

I'm the queen, after all. I rule the DeLuca empire in Bianca's stead, and it's so much more fun than I thought it would be. People fear me because I killed their Bloody Princess, and they tremble in their boots when I don my mask. I don't even need my dangerously sexy men behind me to make an impression.
But, you know, they're still nice to have.
I'm the Night Slayer. I can take care of myself. I didn't grow helpless. Something like that just doesn't go away; it runs deep in my blood and my wicked, vengeful heart.

Spells and Necromancy (Unfortunate Magic #1)
Candace Wondrak
Magic always comes with a cost. For Lena, a mage in Rivaini’s College, that cost has always been great. Almost too much. It's why she refuses to cast spells when she can. But fate and destiny won’t wait for her. It will come whether she’s ready or not. And she won’t be ready, because when she gets involved in magic, bad things tend to happen. Death, an uncontrollable fire…oh, and black magic. Forbidden magic that was outlawed in Rivaini centuries ago. If the King or the High Enchanter catches wind of what she’s capable of, her execution will be swift. She knows that. Still, somehow Lena happens to stumble across an ancient tomb of heroes. Even worse, she accidentally raises the entire crypt in a fit of uncontrollable magic. Most end up being nothing more than skeletons, but two are more. As in, handsome and practically naked more. Tamlen and Valerius. Enemies from a time long past, but together they make her feel things she never thought she’d feel. Normal, loved, desired. Having thralls, being a necromancer—not something Lena wants. Tamlen and Valerius? They’re a different story. She hungers for them, and she’ll have them. Both of them. Maybe together they can stop the ancient being whose eyes are set on Lena, the old god who will bring nothing but death and destruction in its wake. Spells and Necromancy is the first in a trilogy of Unfortunate Magic. It is a fast-burn Reverse Harem romance and contains explicit sexual scenes, along with some M/M elements.

Spiteful Heart (Born to Die, #2)
Candace Wondrak
It’s official. The city’s got a new serial killer, and the b*tch is taunting me.
He’s killing women, tearing them up, mutilating their faces, and leaving them for me. He knows what I do. He has to. He doesn’t hate me because I’m the Bloody Queen.
He hates me because I’m the Night Slayer, because I take out the men this world doesn’t need.
The thing is… I’m starting to suspect he’s one of us, someone who knows our inner workings. Me being a serial killer ain’t common knowledge, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s a spiteful heart. He’s killing girls to get back at me.
Sylvester, Maddox, and Viper are my rocks. My sexy mafia men who’d do anything to keep me safe, even if it means lying to me. But I’m no damsel in distress, and I don’t deal with liars. They better shape up if they want to stay on my good side.

A Death so Sweet: Collection One: Books 1 - 3
Candace Wondrak
Hey. Hey you.
It's me. Lola Harding, AKA the Night Slayer, the serial killer offing the men who think they can take advantage of gals like us. I used to be an angel, but now I'm nothing but the devil, delivering a bloody justice anywhere I go.
I'm not afraid of death. Bring it on, I say.
Or... at least I did, and then I stumbled into the arms of the Luciano family after killing their youngest son. Tit for tat, but instead of killing me right away, they decide to have some fun with little ol' me. Use me up. Make me their pet serial killer.
Who knows? Might be fun. One last ring-a-ding before the fat lady sings. I've been waiting for my final curtain call, and maybe these drop-dead gorgeous Lucianos are exactly what I need.
Blood. Vengeance. Chaos. We'll have it all and more by the time this thing's over.
*Contains: Shadowed Heart, Crooked Heart, and Violent Heart, along with a bonus scene never seen anywhere else. This is a steamy RH/Why Choose series, meaning multiple love interests and no choosing. TW: violence, swearing, mentions of abuse, along with others.*
Violent Heart (A Death So Sweet, #3)
Candace Wondrak
Revenge. Torture. Hate. No good men live in this city. Only bad men and worse—and those who are worse will get what’s coming to them, even if I have to die trying.
You know my name by now. I never was an angel, and I plan on proving that again before death catches up with me. I’ve killed countless, and before this thing is over, I’ll kill more. I’ll destroy them all.
The Bloody Princess wants me to kill the remaining Luciano sons, but what she doesn’t know is they have my heart, as violent as it is. Maddox, Sylvester, even Viper—I will become their instrument of vengeance. No one will touch them. I will burn this city down if I have to, even if it means I’ll be caught in the blaze.
I never feared death. I’ve searched for it all my life. The Night Slayer is about to go head-to-head with the new head of the DeLuca family. I wish I could say she’s a worthy opponent… but that b*tch has no idea just how brutal and crazy I can be.
No one threatens me or my guys.
Spite
Candace Wondrak
Some people say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it’s better hot. My name is Elle Payne, and I never thought I’d be back at River High, but I am—and there are three boys calling my name. Christian Moore, Alec Perry, and Xander Hill. The Dick Squad. The three boys who made my life a living hell growing up. They won’t see me coming. They might’ve forgotten about me, but I didn’t forget about them. My memories burn, and I want nothing more than to destroy them the same way they destroyed me. Six years ago I did something I’m not proud of. Surrounded by bullying and my parents’ failing marriage, I tried to end it all, but I failed. I am stronger now than I ever was before, and even if it’s the last thing I do, the Dick Squad will pay for what they did to me. This revenge will be the sweetest of all, because it’s one they’ll never see coming. Breaking their hearts should be easy. Protecting mine might not be. This is a bully reverse harem novel, containing some dark themes, including self-harm and suicide.

With a shifter best friend, Violet’s life was bound to get interesting.

Limitless (Crystal Lake Pack #1)
Candace Wondrak
Wolves? Check. Magically floating books? Check. A bloody mystery years in the making? …uh, check?
All Addie ever wanted was a normal life—to graduate college and get a good job so she can support her fortune-telling, tarot-card-reading mother. Her plans are shot to heck when she finds out her mother has been keeping a very important secret from her.
As in, Addie is a shifter. A wolf shifter. And not only that, but she’s special because female shifters are rare, prized in most packs. Unique because shifters as a whole are a dying race, and it’s up to females like her to further their kind.
Thrown into pack life, Addie knows she’ll be able to walk away from it anytime she wants, which is what her mother did twenty years ago, but after meeting the pack—more specifically the wolves she’s supposed to mate with—things get complicated. Maze, Dylan, and Landon. Three very different shifters, yet each one of them stirs Addie’s inner wolf.
When one of her intended mates goes missing, Addie realizes the pack is caught up in something dark and sinister. Someone or something is hunting the wolves, taking them one by one. Death is not the only thing to fear in Crystal Lake…
Limitless is the first in a magical, action-packed shifter trilogy, where the heroine will not have to choose between love interests. Why choose?
Crystal Lake Pack: The Complete Series (Crystal Lake Pack #1-3)
Candace Wondrak
After being expelled from college due to some fantastical circumstances, I come home and find my life has been a lie. As in, I'm not human. Never was.
I'm a shifter. A wolf. My mom fell in love with my dad and ran away from her pack, but they've come to bring me back, to show me the life I missed. It's wrought with danger, multiple mates, and forbidden romance...and the worst thing about it all?
I think I like it.
I think, missing wolves aside, I want pack life.
But I'll never get a normal pack life as long as the Crystal Lake pack and its alpha are being plagued by a mystical, crazy death priest, so I choose to do what I can to help my future family. I might be the only hope this pack has at survival, you see.
Want to know a secret?
I'm not just a shifter, either. To fight a death priest, I'll have to meet him head-to-head with magic.

Undying (Crystal Lake Pack #2)
Candace Wondrak
Finding Landon and escaping the murder cabin? Done. Practicing her magic to fight the crazy death priest? In progress. Dealing with her growing feelings towards her mates? …easier said than done.
The terror haunting the Crystal Lake pack has been unmasked thanks to Addie’s hybrid heritage. Not only is she part wolf, but she also hails from a powerful bloodline. If only her magic would be enough to stop Clay.
The threat to the pack lingers, and Addie starts to realize this is where she’s meant to be. In Crystal Lake, with her three mates—the twins, Maze and Dylan, and the standoffish Landon. Her attraction to them is something she never thought she’d feel, and that says nothing about the pull she feels toward Forest, the pack’s alpha.
Her wolf wants to give in. The only question is who will she give into first?
Addie will have to figure it out, because it’s not just her heart on the line. Each and every life in Crystal Lake is threatened by Clay, and with her magic, she just might be the only one who can stop him.
Undying is the second in a magical, action-packed shifter trilogy, where the heroine will not have to choose between her love interests. This is a slow-burn, new adult novel, with a villain you’ll love to hate.
Evermore (Crystal Lake Pack #3)
Candace Wondrak
Realizing her feelings for her intended mates? Finally done. Coming to terms with the fact she’s part wolf and part witch? Check that off the list, too. Handling the crazy death priest who just doesn’t seem to die? Still working on it. After agreeing to go with Clay, Addie thought she’d be able to use her magic to stop him. She was wrong. Mind games, mental torture—there’s nothing Clay won’t do. The murderous death priest is on a rampage, and she and the Crystal Lake pack are the only ones standing between him and utter chaos. Landon, Dylan, and Maze—Addie’s three intended mates—stand by her side through it all. Add into their mix their alpha, Forest, who she has a connection with she can’t fight, and she has more men than she can handle. With everyone by her side, she will fight and stand for the wolves of Crystal Lake. Still, it’s not enough. With her heart and her life on the line, she needs to beat Clay at his own game, but in order to defeat him, secrets will have to come to light. Addie will learn the truth, and her life will never be the same. Evermore is the third and final book in the magical, action-packed shifter Crystal Lake trilogy.

A Villainous Introduction (Grimmstead Academy #1)
Candace Wondrak
When offered a position at the obscure Grimmstead Academy, I jump on it. It’s not that I’m running from my past, it’s just…well, some things are better left forgotten.
An academy for lost souls and criminals? Not exactly what I signed up for, but as I’m about to learn, once you step within the halls of Grimmstead, you can never leave. As the days wear on, I find out that no one is innocent here. Not me, not the ruggedly attractive headmaster, and certainly not its dangerous, handsome students.
Me coming to Grimmstead was like a lamb running into a den of lions, only these lions are just as likely to attack each other as they are me. Mysteries lie within the heart of Grimmstead Academy, and I just might be the key to it all.
The walls of Grimmstead are painted with three things.
Depravity.
Insanity.
And blood.
If you can’t trust your own mind, who can you trust?

With my past in the light, it’s time to look to the future. It’s time for me and my crazy, broken Hillcrest boys to unite. With a little help, maybe we can finally get my ex out of the picture. Maybe I can finally relax and be safe.
Or maybe not.

But then truths come to light, and when they do, someone pays the price. How many bodies will pile up before the mystery surrounding Sabrina and her death is solved?
The answer?
More.
