Lies Left Unsaid by B_Ander

"The fact that I was murdered didn't come as a surprise; it was the fact that it hadn't happened sooner which shocked me." High school senior, Caitlyn Coates, has everything going for her; she's beautiful, brilliant and rich. With just a month until graduation, and her acceptance to Yale confirmed, she should be celebrating, but that's a little hard to do, seeing as how she's...dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's most popular student is her pinky finger, a clump of hair and a red silk thong. The disappearance of the wealthy teen girl with the bright future has sent shock waves through Highland Park, an upscale suburb of Chicago. It's up to hard-headed police force veteran, Detective Brandon, to unravel the truth. But in a town where everyone has a secret to keep and a motive for murder, solving Caitlyn's case will be filled with challenges, including a new rookie partner and the constant media attention due to the nation's obsession over all the morbid details surrounding Caitlyn's demise. Told from each character's point of view (including the deceased), the mystery surrounding Caitlyn Coates' murder may be just as mysterious as Caitlyn herself. It appears, in Highland Park, the truth is seldom what it seems. As Detective Brandon gets closer and closer to solving the case, he realizes that the most dangerous type of lie isn't the one that is told, but the one left unsaid.

Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within by Demon_Wolf_Detective

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.
