VENGEANCE - Everything Hides Something Darker Beneath by sockinthevoid

Wind howls like a warning, rain whispers secrets against the windows, and the cold nights stretch longer than they should. Even the brightest days begin to dim, as if the sun itself is retreating from something unspeakable. And it's not just the daylight that fades; truth itself begins to rot, sinking slowly into the shadows, buried beneath layers of silence and fear. Arizona's quiet is shattered when the lifeless body of a young, stubborn, and hauntingly beautiful girl is discovered inside her own home. No forced entry. No obvious clues. Just her... and a presence that refuses to leave. A relentless private investigator takes the case, unaware that she's stepping into something far more sinister than a simple crime. The deeper she digs, the more twisted and terrifying the discoveries become. Whispers in the dark. Eyes watching. A pattern soaked in blood and secrets. Each clue pulls her further from the world she knew; and closer to something ancient, vile, and waiting. What was supposed to be a straightforward investigation becomes a descent into horror. A nightmare she cannot wake from. A truth she may never survive. Now, she turns to you, the reader, not for help, but for company. She dares you to follow her into the dark. But be warned... once you see what she has seen, there is no going back. Brace yourself. The truth doesn't just hide. It haunts.

Friend or Foe by Alphasinju

After a tragic fire claims his parents' lives, young Dean is forced to leave everything he knows behind. Dean must navigate a world filled with loss, betrayal, and unexpected allies. In a city where danger hides behind every corner, with gangs, secrets, and shadowy figures closing in, he quickly learn that survival isn't just about strength-it's about knowing who to trust. As tension rises and hidden agendas come to light, the line between friend and foe blurs, leaving him to question whether anyone is truly on his side. As he struggles to uncover the truth about the fire and the mysterious figure who may have caused it, Dean must decide who he can trust - and whether those he calls friends might secretly be his enemies. In Friend or Foe, every decision has consequences, and every ally could be the enemy in disguise.

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul by ChristyM01

Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES by PraiseAjibola3

Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 Obsession
