Devil’s Deal
Book one of the Infernal Contracts trilogy
When two angels break their deal with the devil, he comes for the one they’re trying to protect.
16-year-old Eleonora Santos works through the summer break so she can visit her family in Italy when she graduates. With the new school year around the corner, her focus is back on homework and enjoying life with her tight group of friends. But on their first day back, she finds them fawning over two new guys in their class—Ben and Danny.
Not a day goes by before Nora’s life is turned upside down. Her best friend now hates her, and the boys seem eager to get to know her. Despite their charming efforts, she’d rather have her best friend, not a boyfriend.
When Nora discovers Ben and Danny are not who they claim to be, and their nefarious deal goes wrong, Nora is caught in the middle.
To fix their mistakes, she must face the Devil and betray herself—or pay with her life.

Lucifer’s Favour
When a demon takes over Hell, you turn to the one you fear the most.
After Nora’s encounter with Beelzebub she can no longer escape the supernatural world–she is marked for life. The demon’s sinister plans will hurt the people she cares about, and the only way to restore order is to track down Lucifer and convince him to reclaim his throne.
Lucifer has his own agenda for staying on Earth and faces threats he’s never seen before. His escapades draw the attention of Earthly demons, ones he doesn’t control, and they’re ready to protect their territory.
Nora and her friends must unite and persuade Lucifer while escaping the dangers and temptations of supernaturals. Living on the border of the ordinary and the extraordinary world challenges Nora and her friends to look beyond what they know, and believe.
Beelzebub’s Bargain
The Devil is coming, and he’s bringing friends.
When Nora finds out Ben was banished from the Angelic City she needs to know what happened—even if it means going to Hell.
Beelzebub’s right-hand, Jack, forces Ben to revisit a painful part of his past while the demon lord thwarts Nora’s attempts at rescuing him.
After a narrow escape Nora joins Lucifer on a trip to Hades in the Underworld, while Ben finds some much needed help from the Valkyrie in Purgatory.
Together they must find a way to stop Beelzebub, or he will make Earth Hell for the living.

Tales of Lunis Aquaria
On the whole, these stories were magical and brought me so much joy to read them, I felt like I was immersed in the world being described. The stories were beautifully written and featured some incredibly well thought out characters and creatures. I felt like I was whisked away.
The author weaves such a magical spell with her words and this collection is a lovely way to switch off from modern life and lose yourself in another world.
These are gorgeously written tales of magic and nature, both uplifting and sad.
