Story2
Being a member born into a secret society is nothing like what you would expect. Our world is dripping in diamonds and gilded in gold, but it’s also built atop the blood and bones of innocents. The wronged and the shamed haunting this town, this world, this society. Maggie Bartlett had accepted the fact that she would never have control over her destiny. That she would always be a puppet in their play. A queer woman in a Puritan man’s world is one of the most dangerous things to be. But what good is life without a little danger?

Story6
I’m a curvy sports geek. Liam’s a hockey god. He’s way out of my league… My brother’s best friend is acting really weird. Flowers keep showing up. He sends me Cameos and concert tickets. Then, there’s the job offer… Well, first, there was the fact that he tracked me down to NYC. It’s really complicated, okay? But so are my feelings for him. I’ve been ignoring them for so long that they became a wall I’m comfortable hiding behind.

Story19
It was supposed to be a simple weekend away to forget the heartache caused by my cheating husband. But the man sitting next to me in 1B has different plans. Cash’s whiskey-colored eyes and easy smile beg me to dance beneath the stars, kiss in the moonlight, and walk hand in hand down the streets of Boston. Unfortunately, life has other plans because I’m still married, and Cash James is the billionaire playboy standing between me and my dream promotion.

Story14
I always thought I’d start the apocalypse. Instead I’ve been asked to help end it. How does one stop the end of the world, you might ask? You gotta knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does. I know, I know. I was surprised too. But let me tell you, if ever there was an incubus made for the job, it’s me. With a name like Sin, you’d think this should have been the easiest task I’d ever been assigned. And you’d be correct. Except said vessel is a beautiful and dangerously powerful succubus in her own right. Oh, and she’s not interested.

I stumbled onto Grandma’s House after seeing a reel from Joe Arden casually mentioning it, and honestly? That was all it took. Curiosity fully activated. I immediately hit buy now on Audible and grabbed the KU version too, because when a narrator I trust is intrigued, I’m in. I went in completely blind—armed with just that one sentence tease—and wow… that was a mistake in the best way possible.
This is fast fast. Like, 30-minutes-and-your-brain-is-scrambled fast. It’s Christmas Eve, Maisie is convinced a proposal is coming, the vibes are cozy, the cookies are baked… and then an elderly woman wanders into their house claiming it’s hers. From there? POW. WTF just happened. I genuinely did not see that turn coming, and I loved being caught off guard like that.
For such a super short story, it packs a solid punch. It’s tense, unsettling, and just twisted enough to make your head explode a little—in a good way 😅 If you want a quick psychological thriller with holiday vibes and a sharp left turn, this one absolutely delivers. Perfect when you want something short, shocking, and memorable.
