When his imaginary childhood friend appears in his bedroom, seventeen-year-old Avery Slater learns that getting rid of the dead is harder than he thought.

Ever since childhood, Avery has been forced to listen to the whining of the dead. Crazy dead cat ladies and angry hit-and-run victims just love to tell him about their undead problems. After moving to the dinky town of Gravenhague, he thought he'd finally be able to leave all of that ghostly nonsense behind. Sebastian was never one for following plans.

Fifty years old with the temper of a raging third grader, Sebastian has a task only Avery can complete: Find his killer and set his soul free. Not an easy thing when the only clues are a broken violin, a feather, and the faint smell of lilac before death.

All Avery wants is to get this mystery over with, but with a seedy cult called Blacklight working to cover up the strange happenings of Gravenhague, it's more than a headache. As he descends deeper into the mystery, he discovers this isn't your average sleuthing case. Blacklight's spies are watching, and the town's occupants are less than hospitable. With disappearances and death shadowing him, Avery has to wonder if getting rid of Sebastian is worth the hassle.

If being haunted by ghosts has taught him anything, it's that he never wants to be one.

[ENGLISH] ECLIPSE NOISE: DAYS THAT NEVER HAPPENED by LVXAeternam

The city is a graveyard of neon lights and endless nights. Nero knows it. He feels it in his bones. Nothing was supposed to happen on the night of the lunar eclipse. Just another underground gig in an abandoned church, another cigarette burning between his fingers, another cheap vodka shot burning down his throat. But then he saw her. Something that shouldn't have been there. Something that was watching him before he even knew it existed. Something that stayed with him even after the music stopped. Since that night, the shadows started calling his name. Since that night, Sebastián was closer than ever. Since that night, she started showing up in his dreams. Nero's reality is starting to crack apart. His reflection doesn't always match his movements. His body doesn't always feel like his own. The city lights flicker like someone's turning the world off, piece by piece. And in the background, a voice whispers: "Don't close your eyes. Don't stop looking." Because the moment you do... You won't be you anymore.

But behind his warm smile is a mind that thrives on chaos and blood-a predator hiding in plain sight. As Detective Mira Lane digs deeper into the cases, her gut tells her there's more to these murders than meets the eye. But how do you catch a killer who knows how to blend in so perfectly? Someone who could be the person you'd least suspect? Dark, twisted, and chillingly personal, "Whispers of the Crimson Shadow" will make you question the faces you trust and the secrets you keep. Care to step into the mind of a monster?

Soon after, Tyra vanishes. No one remembers her. Not the townsfolk. Not her own mother. In this new bubble reality, Rachel gradually takes her sister's place: vocalist of the school band, Queen of the Halloween Ball, and girlfriend of the hottest person in school - in this case, Sebastian. But then Tyra's girlfriend, Alex, regains her memories. As Rachel and Alex reluctantly work together, each defiance results in lethal consequences.

Secrets of Shadow Creek by LeeZero

With nothing but a rotting wooden sign all but invisible on the main road, the town of Shadow Creek is drawing in some unlikely newcomers and it won’t take long for them to realize that this small town set deep in the mountains of modern day Virginia, is home to some very interesting people with even more interesting and sometimes dangerous secrets. On the run from an unknown past, Cassie Colette, her sister Chloe, and her two sons are searching for a safe place to make their new home. Noticing a rotted sign for a small town, they assume it to be a deserted ghost town and decide to take a much needed break from the long hours of driving. Upon reaching the town however, they find that Shadow Creek is far from what they would call a ghost town. But in Shadow Creek, the Colette’s aren’t the only ones with secrets to hide. Could this be the safe haven they were looking for, or will the secrets of the residents prove to be more deadly than what they’re running from? The first in the Shadow Creek series, delve into this small, forgotten town and meet the people who make her what she is as they live out their own lives and relationships along with the Colettes. This is not your average book. It doesn't evolve around a particular guy or woman. Its not their road to a happy ending. Not that the ending isn't satisfying. Think more along the lines of a community of interesting and sexy people who all have secrets to hide. Now throw in a murderer, some sexy attraction, and just a dash of the supernatural and you have a hint of Shadow Creek and what it's about. One thing is for sure, Shadow Creek may be an isolated little town but she sure as hell ain't boring... So if your looking for a new pace, something unique to sink into, you may have just found what you're lookin for. ;) Don't forget to vote and comments are welcomed. Enjoy.
