One year ago, Sarah's best friend Cassie brutally murdered four classmates in the house next door. Then Cassie disappeared. No one knows why she did it. Or that Sarah could have stopped her. Now, strange things are happening - messages written in blood, familiar voices whispering to Sarah, faces in the mirror that aren't her own. Cassie's favorite slumber party game was always Bloody Mary and her final entries in a journal are filled with stories about a "presence" in the mirror, who listened when no one else did. Cassie poured her fear, anger, and heartbreak into Bloody Mary - confessing the bullying, loneliness, and slow, painful realization that Sarah was starting to make new friends and move on without her. As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Sarah and her friends - including Abby, who might be something more - must follow the clues and go to what's now called the Demon House. There, they will learn what really happened, what Cassie unleashed...and whether she's still alive. Cassie faced her demons and failed. Bloody Mary is done waiting. And Sarah is next. --------- Highest Rankings: 🥇#1 in Urban Legends 🥇 #1 in YA Horror 🥈#2 in Occult Top 5 in Psychological Horror Top 5 in Horror *Updates on Tuesdays and Fridays*

Phoebe Miller is the "nerdy" farm girl who finally lands a prom date with her longtime crush, Ryker Blackwood. The night is ruined when she overhears him mocking her as a "charity case." Heartbroken but done being the victim, Phoebe spends her final summer in Texas transforming into a woman who no longer needs him. Now, Ryker is the one watching from the sidelines as the girl he dismissed becomes the only one he can't have.

One summer changed everything. The next one changes her again. After a year away, Maren Hale returns to Cape Cod carrying more than just suitcases. She comes home with grief stitched into her last name, memories that still echo through empty rooms, and a brother she lost far too soon. Luke was the kind of boy everyone loved-the kind of light that doesn't fade quietly. And without him, nothing feels the same. Trying to relearn how to exist in the place that remembers him best, Maren is pulled back into a summer she isn't sure she's ready for-bonfires on the beach, salt in the air, music drifting across the dunes. With her fiercely loyal best friend Kayla by her side, Maren begins to navigate a town that sees her as a tragedy before it sees her at all. And then there are the Callahan brothers. Owen-warm, open, and endlessly kind-feels like sunshine after a long winter. He's familiar and easy, offering laughter and comfort when the weight of grief feels too heavy. Rafe, older and guarded, carries his own shadows, meeting Maren in quiet moments where words aren't always necessary. Both see her in different ways. Both make her feel something she isn't sure she's ready for. As the summer unfolds, Maren is forced to confront the space between holding on and letting go-between who she was, who she lost, and who she might become. Because sometimes healing doesn't come from choosing the easy path... but from listening to the parts of yourself you've been avoiding. Tender, nostalgic, and soaked in summer light, "The Summer We Stayed" is a story about grief, first love, and the complicated beauty of finding yourself in the in-between.
