(1948, Hollywood) Talith Henries is an innocent girl who just wants to get into the pictures and be famous: she just doesn't want to get there in the ways that are generic to that time. Meanwhile, the only work that she can find is as a singer at a gentlemen's club on Broadway called Bogart's. One night, somehow, everything goes wrong - and there are bodies that serve as proof. Is Talith as innocent as she once thought?

Gilded Obsession
Alexandria Evergreen, a bored heiress to her dearest father's hotel empire with a penchant for justice on her own terms and too much time on her hands, lives a life of luxury and moral ambiguity. Behind her poised façade lies a dangerous secret: she quite enjoys seeing the life leave the eyes of abusive and perverted men - and the occasional woman - who believe themselves untouchable, operating in the shadows of high society. Clarke Griffin, a struggling law student in her final year, is barely holding her life together. Clarke has just landed an internship at a prestigious law firm, a position she fought hard for. Now all she wants is to graduate, pass the bar exam, and start building her career, following in the footsteps of her late father. From the moment Alexandria lays eyes on a stunning Clarke, she's obsessed. What could possibly go wrong when one is morally grey at best, entirely unhinged and a walking red flag at worst and the other embodies everything Alexandria isn't - pure, principled, and committed to the legal system? I'll be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant in the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, blood and gore, murder, sexual content, mature themes, violence, mentions of abuse (of all kinds), sexism, torture, mention of drugs, mention of suicide, absolute toxic, obsessive, and unhinged behavior.Complete
Red Dress
« Je vous déclare mari et femme. » Une phrase solennelle, censée unir deux âmes pour l'éternité. Elle scelle une promesse : celle de rester ensemble et de vivre un amour pur et sincère. On connaît tous l'adage : « Jusqu'à ce que la mort nous sépare... » Après le décès prématuré de son père, la mère de Sophia se remarie avec Julian. Un homme aimant, bienveillant, presque parfait... peut-être trop parfait. Ce mariage aurait dû marquer un nouveau départ, une renaissance. Mais lorsque la robe de mariée se teinte de rouge sang, Sophia comprend que ce n'est pas une union bénie... c'est un pacte avec le diable. Et pourtant, malgré la haine qu'elle voue à ce mariage, Sophia découvrira que l'amour peut naître au cœur des ténèbres... un amour aussi envoûtant que fatal.
Face of an Angel with Devil Eyes
Ainsley Caree Hudson didn't have a typical childhood; at eight years old she was the victim of abusive parents who didn't care about her, what happened to her or who did what to her. Until one night a man came in and rescued her. She asked his name and he told her it was "G" and then she asked him if he was an angel; he told her if that's what she needed he would be her angel. Her parents had tried to sell her to "G" to get out of debt and this angered the man so, that he took her away from there and had her parents killed. He placed her in a loving home with a forged birth certificate and told her to grow up and make something of herself. Twenty-two years later, she was an emergency room doctor at a hospital in Philadelphia and as fate would have it, her path would cross with her angel again but just not in the way you would think. Would this angel be able to help her deal with the night terrors, help her learn to love and in return find salvation in her arms? Would she be able to look past his dangerous lifestyle enough to let him in? Only time would tell. Join Ainsley as she inadvertently goes deep into the Mafia to discover it's nothing like the movies.

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!
