Lucy Vaughn isn't a hero. She never wanted to be one nor asked to be. She's just an amateur journalist who's naturally drawn to puzzles. When she comes home from New York City broke, single and disheartened, she's swept up in the mystery of what happened to Jessica Barlow, and the role Blake Marshall, once small town hero turned murder suspect, played in what happened to her. But Lucy may find out she's in way over her head when the murderer realizes she's onto them.
Can Lucy save the Marshall Boy?
Or will she be the one in need of saving?

UNRAVEL
Love and obsession are rarely what they seem. Love can tether you to the living. Obsession can chain you to the dead. Everyone hides something-even those you thought you knew best. Secrets bury themselves deeper, and trust unravels into suspicion. When she loses the man she believed would be her forever, her world fractures into grief, lies, and unanswered questions. And some answers are more dangerous than the questions themselves. A detective who asks too much. A friend who may know more than they admit. And a truth that could destroy everything. The real question is: how far would you go for what you want most? ⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄ ✎ this is a slow-burn, psychological mystery-thriller, a work of fiction ✎ please note that this story touches lightly on themes of same-gender affection and emotional connection. ✎ technically not proofread thanks for reading! unravel © 2025 TheShinks © all rights reservedComplete

Moments not Mine
Esme was the last person to see her best friend alive. Now, everyone-friends, family, even the police-suspects her of a crime she didn't commit. Desperate to prove her innocence, she uncovers a hidden digital world her best friend had kept secret: a web of fake accounts, cryptic messages, and untold clues. One account, in particular, becomes her lifeline-a place where her best friend confided, joked, and dropped hints about her life. Here, Esme meets someone unexpected; actually two someones: two mysterious guys who help her piece together the puzzle, but neither of them knows what the other looks like. Every conversation is charged with curiosity, trust, and tension, as they navigate messages, hidden posts, and the shadows of a life Esme never truly knew. In a world where everyone is suspect and nothing is as it seems, Esme must follow the digital breadcrumbs to uncover the real killer-and maybe discover a connection she never expected. Author's Note 💌 Hey lovely readers! ✨ First off, thank you so much for opening Moments Not Mine. This story has been swirling in my head for a while, and I finally decided to put it all down for you to experience. Esme's journey is mysterious, tense, and kinda emotional-so buckle up 😅. She's just an ordinary girl caught in extraordinary circumstances, and I hope you enjoy every twist, clue, and secret she uncovers. Oh, and a little heads-up: there's a lot of online mystery, secrets, and a tiny dash of tension (and maybe some sparks 😏), so keep your eyes peeled and your theories ready. Thanks for reading, for commenting, for theorizing, and just for vibing with this story. Your support means the world 💛. Stay curious, -Esme's very nervous but excited author 😅💫
