While being chased by her abusive boyfriend, Lyla turns the tables, shoving him into the path of an oncoming car. But rather than calling the police, she and her friend, Jack bury the body deep in the woods. Instead of finishing her senior year in peace, Lyla is horrified to discover that her dead ex has returned for revenge. This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story. (Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love") Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead." Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned." "We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing." "But maybe he woke up after we left him down there." "Woke up?! His neck was broken." Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this. "I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me." "Who was?!" "Keenan. I swear to God." "No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead." "It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading. He'd been seeing the ghost, too. If you enjoyed "Her Terrifying Love," check out the sequel, "Dirty Secrets." https://www.wattpad.com/822348938-dirty-secrets-prologue

"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.

In the tranquil yet enigmatic village of Carmelo, nestled along the coast of Tuburan, Cebu, the ordinary masks a dark and terrifying secret. This once peaceful community is haunted by the sinister presence of an ancient acacia tree, rooted in a curse that has plagued the village for centuries. When Maria returns to Carmelo to visit her uncle, Father Antonio, she is thrust into a chilling mystery involving disappearing children, eerie symbols, and a vengeful spirit bound to the old acacia tree. As Maria and her enigmatic companion Diego delve deeper into the village's hidden history, they uncover a dark sorcerer's twisted legacy and an ancient curse tied to a powerful witch, Isabella, who was wronged by the villagers long ago. Together, they must unravel the secrets of the curse, face malevolent forces, and perform dangerous rituals to save Carmelo from impending doom. Along the way, they encounter spectral apparitions, battle demonic entities, and navigate the treacherous terrain of supernatural horror. With each chapter, the stakes rise as Maria and Diego confront their deepest fears, form alliances with the villagers, and unearth the dark forces that lurk beneath Carmelo's serene surface. As they race against time to break the curse, they discover that the village's salvation lies in their hands, and the cost of failure is unthinkable. Will Maria and Diego succeed in freeing Carmelo from the grip of the old acacia tree's curse, or will the village be consumed by darkness forever? "Carmelo Horror Stories: The Old Acacia Tree" is a spine-chilling tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unyielding fight against ancient evils, spanning sixty chapters of relentless suspense and supernatural terror.
