Rae Innes never planned on raising her niece and nephew alone, but she's determined to keep Jordyn and Marcus safe-no matter what.

When socialite guest Lila Anderson meets a mysterious fate, Rae finds herself swept into a puzzle that challenges her wit, courage, and trust.

25-year-old Grace Avery is a stunning woman working as a detective/investigator. Due to her looks, she often gets sexist remarks from her colleagues, seen only as an object of praise and beauty rather than a fellow detective. Annoyed and frustrated, she goes to an old friend for help and assistance, asking for a partner who doesn't care about her looks and has the brains to work with her, to which she learns that there is a person who could help her, the problem lays in the fact that, that person is the very same man who Grace knew and hated in high school, Basil M. House. Will Grace continue to hate his guts? Is Basil the same man whom Grace knew in High school? And will their relationship change? This is a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Besides being a reimagining, it's also a composite of different mystery stories and movies that I loved, so don't be surprised if some of the cases or puzzles look familiar. Apologies for the grammar mistakes:( Really enjoyed writing this:) This story is also on royal road

A mythos lit into being by an angel's descent, the forgotten memory of a shattered flower, and a sister sealed in human skin-slowly recovering who she is within the Dreaming. Five cosmic brothers and one watchful demon circle the past she can't outrun. This is a family reunion she never chose... and one the universe might not survive.

"The Wolf hunts. The Wolf feeds on its prey. But this... This is different." In the isolated town of Ashford, something old is awake-and it has teeth. A symbol, drawn in blood, violent visions, and an uncanny, terrifying supernatural entity. Something hunts. Something kills. And it's coming for them... whether they're ready or not. *** When Carlos Hernandez survives a brutal encounter in the woods, his life fractures overnight. Haunted by violent visions that feel more like memories than dreams, Carl begins to suspect that the monster stalking Ashford is tied to him in ways he doesn't yet understand. His body changes. His senses sharpen. And the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur. Ashley knows more than she lets on. Raised in the shadow of the forest, she carries her own curse-and her own rules for survival. Training Carl means risking exposure, but leaving him ignorant could be fatal. Somewhere beyond the town limits lives Jude, a reclusive werewolf with a forbidden ability and a connection to Ashley that could unravel everything if revealed. As the Black Wolf's attacks grow bolder, Carl is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the monster terrorizing Ashford may not be his enemy, but his mirror. To stop it, he must uncover the town's buried history, accept what he is becoming, and decide how much of his humanity he is willing to lose. A dark, atmospheric coming-of-age horror, The Mark blends small-town dread with supernatural mythology, exploring guilt, inheritance, and the violence we carry-whether we choose it or not. For fans of teen wolf, stranger things and TVD

Margaret Salvatore has always seen the world differently. At Ravenwood Academy-an elite boarding school where science is revered like faith-her unsettling visions of danger before it strikes are no longer just intuition. They may be the only weapon she has when the Academy's greatest minds begin to fall. One by one, they are eliminated-not randomly, but with chilling precision, each death reflecting the discipline they once mastered. Physics. Chemistry. Biology. Mathematics. The message is clear: even knowledge cannot save you. Brilliance makes you a target. Caught between two rivals-the calculating, methodical Brian, and the dazzling, magnetic Sebastian-Margaret must navigate not only the volatile currents of love and loyalty but also the razor's edge of survival. The killer leaves behind cryptic, scientific puzzles that demand intellect to solve, daring anyone clever enough to challenge them. As exams approach and the shadow of fear deepens, Margaret must decide how to wield her visions, whom to trust, and how far she's willing to go to outthink a murderer who has outsmarted the masters themselves . At Ravenwood, knowledge is power. It might also be the reason you die.

By sunrise, the queen was dead. They found Chloe Monroe's body behind the football bleachers-her signature pink nails caked with dirt, her phone shattered beside her like glass promises. The police said it was murder. The students said it was karma. At Crescent High, Chloe wasn't just popular-she was power wrapped in perfume and cruelty. The kind of girl who smiled at you just before she ruined your life. She could make someone disappear from the social food chain with a single rumor, and she loved doing it. But beneath the perfect hair, the designer bags, and the fake apologies, Chloe had built herself an army of enemies. Everyone had a story, a reason, a scar. A girl she exposed. A boy she humiliated. A friend she betrayed. A teacher she made loose his job. So when word spread that she was gone, nobody cried. Not really. They whispered. They speculated. Some even smiled. Because in Crescent High, everyone hated Chloe Monroe. The only mystery left- was who hated her enough to kill her. ★.·.·.·.★.·.·.·.·★ IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS: #1 in Solve, Solving, highschool mystery thriller and teen thriller all in December 2025 #1 in SOLVE 23/12/25 #2 in CASE 26/12/25 #2 in SOLVING 27/12/25 #2 in INTERROGATION 27/12/25

Confused, trapped, and with no way to return to her own time, Brittany makes a daring choice: if she wants answers and a chance to survive she'll have to play detective.
