    No one really remembers how they got here. The bell rings, the halls echo, and the lectures go on like clockwork. But something about Midnight Haven College doesn't sit right. The windows show the same gray sky every day. The announcements repeat the same words. And the faces around you? They smile too often. Jam Mendez thinks she's just another student trying to pass the semester. But what if school is the only thing keeping her mind from falling apart? Or worse-what if it's what's breaking it?

    The wind blows particularly strong today. I can almost feel a spectre among us, passing through our body, trading their face for ours. Len's fidgety movements remind me that she's standing beside me with her fingers wound through mine. I look around to the thirty-some people standing gathered around a small tombstone with the name Jamie Dawn inscribed in the stone just above the epitaph. It reads, "There are no facts; only interpretations."

    A year after her mentor Jedidiah drowned during a company retreat - ruled a tragic accident and quietly buried by leadership eager to move on - Ava is still carrying doubts she's never voiced aloud. When her tech company announces another team retreat at a remote lakeside lodge, the forced return to the scene of his death feels less like healing and more like a wound reopening. The unease sharpens the moment Ava starts receiving anonymous messages - slipped under her door, appearing from unknown numbers - containing details about the night Jedidiah died that were never made public. Someone in her tight-knit team knows more than they've admitted. As the retreat continues, cut off from cell signal and any easy way to leave, the messages escalate, implicating different colleagues one by one, until the group turns on each other in a rising spiral of suspicion. Trapped together with no way out, Ava must figure out who's sending the messages - and who really killed Jedidiah - before the same still water claims another victim.

    The world is a stage, and Nessa is the only one who can see the seams. ​To everyone in Oakhaven, it's just another Tuesday. But for Nessa, the morning light feels like a thin veil ready to tear, and the walls of Lakewood High feel more like a movie set than a building. For a year, a rhythmic, growling "Thunder" has haunted her dreams-a sound that feels less like a nightmare and more like a warning. ​While her best friend dismisses her fears and the boy she secretly loves offers a "brotherly" shoulder to lean on, Nessa is left alone with a terrifying realization: the world is cracking open, and she's the only one who can discover the truth.

    Boomerang is a psych thriller about a group of senior high school students who stay the night at their academy to complete a school project as a requirement for graduation. One by one, the students disappear and the remaining ones are left clueless of the unexplained and mysterious events happening around them. All until they make a horrifying discovery of where all their missing classmates went. Excerpts from Boomerang - "The girl was saying a silent prayer in her head, hoping against all odds that the thing would not discover their hiding place. The last thought she had before she felt a cold hand pull her by the leg was how the voice sounded so familiar. "Found you!" it said and the girl couldn't help but let out a blood-curling scream."
