Shadow Guardians Series
Shadow Guardians are humans with the ability to shape-shift into ethereal animal spirits. Their purpose is to protect humans from darkness.
But not all Guardians are good.
EVER MARKED
A mysterious mark.
A hidden world beyond their own.
And a girl trying to escape the monster she's destined to become.
When a tattoo-like spiral appears on Leila's arm, she discovers shapeshifters are real. They're called Shadow Guardians, and she's been marked to become one.
With fatal animal attacks and disappearances plaguing the town, Leila is convinced the Guardian who marked her is responsible. Desperate to stop the transformation, she and her paranormal-obsessed friend, Riley, race to find them before they find her first.
But the closer they get to the truth, the more Leila realizes she's been searching in the wrong place. Everything she thought she knew is wrong.
Now she's out of time. The only way to survive may be to embrace the very thing she's been running from.
She must decide:
To shift.
Or die.
Shadow Guardians is a completed series. Perfect for fans of Teen Wolf and The Mortal Instruments, Ever Marked is an addictive YA urban fantasy filled with mystery, romance, and shapeshifters.

EVER FALLEN
Everything they ever thought about the Fallen was wrong.
Sadie Sloan is the only human in her circle of friends. And that’s the way she likes it. But when her little sister goes missing, Sadie is taken deep into the world of Guardians. With her friends distracted, she has no one but rogue Guardian (and biggest jerk), Sebastian, to help her. As they search, she discovers the Fallen have returned… and Sadie’s next on their list.
Leila and the clan drop everything to protect her, hiding in the woods from the rest of the world. But when Sadie gets Marked it becomes painfully clear—one of them is responsible.
Friendship is a dangerous game when someone you trust is after blood.
EVER LOVED
Everything they ever believed about love, will be tested.
Something ancient stirs in the shadows—born of vengeance, driven by fear, and hungry for blood. It stalks Cedar Falls, and it won’t stop until everything burns.
Since Leila and Riley’s Imprint surge showed them how powerful they are, things haven’t been the same. Now, Leila’s focus is torn between the boyfriend who no longer trusts her, and the brother who’s missing—lost to the very darkness they’re trying to stop.
Sadie was never a typical Guardian. She can shift into three forms instead of one. But each shift leaves her with less control and more questions. Something inside her is changing… and it’s not entirely human. When bodies begin turning up, torn apart, Sadie fears the unthinkable: one of her Guardians might be to blame.
As old secrets claw their way out of the dark, the fragile threads holding their world together begin to unravel.
Love might be the final weapon—or their greatest weakness.
EVER TRUE
Everything they ever believed about fate will be rewritten
The beast is gone, but the clan remains fractured. As they struggle to regroup, everyone carries their own secrets.
Especially Leila.
Every day at noon, her mark burns, a warning she doesn’t yet understand. But that’s not all she’s been hiding, because the only person she’s told is the one she shouldn’t be getting close to.
Lines are being crossed.
And not all of them can be undone.
Riley’s tried everything to change the vision he’s been seeing in meditation. And no matter what he does, it always ends the same.
With Leila’s death.
His last hope lies in an impossible choice:
Leave it all to chance or choose who survives.
Because in a war between destiny and choice, only one can win.
