Fate's Falls - Volume 1 — Karla Doyle

Monsters, magic, fated mates, and secret towns only selected people can enter... welcome to Fate's Falls.This omnibus includes three separate but interconnected stories from the Fate's Falls series: MATED TO THE MINOTAURBooking a last-minute flight across the country to be my cousin's maid of honor is doable. Making arrangements in a town Google can't locate is more challenging, so I make use of the best man's contact info.Constantine is happy to help. And his voice...it's enough to make me swoon. After one phone call, I might be more excited to meet him than I am for my cousin's wedding. But Fate's Falls isn't any small, mountain town-it's populated with literal monsters, including the man I'm crushing on. The hulking Minotaur could crush me in one of his massive hands. Logically, I should be scared, but I'm the opposite. I assume it's because I'm long overdue for some adventure, and more than a little curious to know if the hunky Minotaur is monstrous all over.Constantine insists our connection is deeper than physical attraction. He believes we're mates. As in, fated mates. Forever.---THE GRUMPY DEMON'S SUNSHINERAZBUNAREI was born in the fires of hell, created to grant humans' selfish wishes for revenge in exchange for their souls. I exist only to fulfill my purpose. After eons of meting out vengeance, both petty and dire, something sparked inside me-an emotional response. Vengeance demons do not feel things. And yet, I did.Rather than return to the hell realm, I wandered the earth before settling in Fate's Falls, a protected place where monsters of all types reside in harmony. There are even some humans in town, including one female who stokes flames inside me that put hellfire to shame.The lovely coffee barista is too soft. Too small. Too filled with sunshine and goodness to be attracted to a towering, red-skinned, hell-born demon. She will never know my feelings, never return them, but Dela is my purpose now. I would kill for her. I would die for her. But I cannot stay away from her.DELAAfter dying at the hand of my ex-boyfriend, then being returned to life by a reaper, I follow his advice and escape to Fate's Falls. Not only are reapers real, so are all kinds of fantastic creatures, many of whom reside in the secret small town surrounded by mountains and forests. I'm not afraid of the monsters here, but I didn't expect to be attracted to one. Especially not a massive, red demon who barely speaks and has the most intense case of resting-grumpy face I've ever seen.When a coincidence-or fate-gives me a chance to get to know Raz, the attraction quickly becomes something deeper. And it's mutual. Turns out, the hotter-than-hell demon isn't so grumpy after all. He's sweeter than a cinnamon roll, and he's mine for as long as I want him, which might be forever...---A REAPER IS FOREVEROne seer is born in the Winterlock coven in each generation. The elders call it a gift, but if I could return or exchange it, I would.Young and frustrated, I left the coven. Then money got tight, and I sidestepped the rule about not profiting from magic. It was just an innocent psychic fair. But the horrific things I saw when I touched that man's hand... I tried to alter the future I'd seen, but only changed mine-by dying.The phrase you only live once isn't always accurate. My death was temporary.After returning my soul to my body, a kind, gentle reaper brought me to the safety of Fate's Falls.Fifteen lonely years later, he's back in town. The temptation to let my guard down with Kohl is almost as strong as my self-preservation instinct. As a reaper, he's not a living being. But a reaper is forever, and seeing his future might be the worst kind of vision of all...--- These monster romance books are also available individually, and intended for adult re...
