Warning: The books in the Parliament of Twilight series are often more than the average person can handle. Contents may include but are not limited to: beast form sex, angst, spanking, inappropriate use of showers and/or bathtubs, elements of horror in erotic settings, implied m/f incest, outright m/m twincest, dubious consent, cliffhangers, tentacles, cheating, bad decisions, BDSM, bondage, campy humor, threesomes & more-somes, supernatural creatures, May/December romances, eternal love, blood play, murder, animated corpse sex
Jacob & Brodie star in Ghost House, exorcising demons for fun & profit. Too bad they don’t just play exorcists on TV.
Jacob is a former exorcism Agent for The Parliament of Twilight. Now he’s the star of Ghost House, another of those creepy ghost-hunting in quaint little towns kinda shows. He “exorcises” the ghosts & demons infesting the house, which are really big special effects and well-timed scares. It’s not moral, but everybody goes home happy & the viewers are excited.
Brodie is Jacob’s new co-host. He used to star on his own show about “spiritual redecorating” or something like that. He’s adorable, fluffy and everyone on the show loves him. Of course Jacob immediately hates him.
The boys are just getting to know each other & work out the kinks in their new partnership when an ominous letter arrives. Apparently, Jacob might not be as retired as he thought.

Like millions of other kids, Jim grew up wanting to be a superhero. Unlike most of his contemporaries, however, Jim actually had the goods: a plethora of super powers that would have been the envy of any meta on the planet. But when his tryout with the Alpha League – the world’s premiere group of supers – goes disastrously wrong, Jim basically becomes an outcast.
Two years later, Jim is still bitter about what happened to him. However, he soon finds himself the centerpiece in an odd turn of events that gives him a second chance at his dream. But nothing is as easy as it sounds, as Jim soon discovers. Among other things, he’s made an enemy of a prospective super teammate, he’s being stalked by an unknown pursuer, and a shadowy cabal bent on world domination has identified him as the only obstacle to their plans.
It’s a lot for one super to handle, even with a smorgasbord of abilities. But if saving the world were easy, everyone would do it…

23rd Century Britain. No oil. No electricity. It’s been 150 years since The Collapse, and the Information Age has long gone. The clouds of data that once drove humanity are little more than ash, the knowledge once held in their servers lost in the mists of time. The few remaining people get by as best they can, improvising and living off the land, or scavenging through long-derelict cities for scraps and trinkets. This is the world of the Kingsmen, elite law enforcers with the power of life and death.
Sixteen year old Flick Carter has saved the life of an injured Scav. But it’s not just the Kingsmen who want to get their hands on the boy and his secrets; there are forces far more dangerous who will stop at nothing, not even murder.
For Flick, the small Oxfordshire town of Faringdon is no longer safe. Wanted for a murder she did not commit, and with no one left she can trust, she must run. Or die.
