"If nobody else is going to say it, I will: Our victim has no eyes."
A murder victim with missing eyes is only slightly out of the ordinary for Toronto Special Crimes Detective Fairuz Arshad. When that murder victim turns out to be a phoenix, all her evidence goes up in flames -- literally. As more bodies start piling up, and as the Toronto Police refuse to let her investigate, she and her dryad partner take matters into their own hands. But the deeper she digs, the more Fairuz starts to wonder who - and what - she can trust.

Hellbent on wanting to find out more about her donor and why they were murdered, Alexis sets out on an investigation of her own-along with the assistance of an officer who so happens to be her ex-boyfriend-to discover who is behind the death of her donor.Concluida

The Night Reporter ✔
Zeke, a reporter with schizo-affective paranoia, gets caught up in a vamp-motivated murder. Zeke's best work is drafted during "medicinal vacations," where he uses his condition to aid his writing process, short term memory be damned. However, the latest "vacation" dubs him a P.O.I. in the murder investigation of Carter (his rival colleague), and he's unsure if his intimacy with her was hallucination or reality. His there-again, gone-again friend August isn't much help, either. Zeke wonders why police don't follow the vamp-attack angle, considering Carter's wounds. The politically-correct vamp culture has rendered him unsympathetic. As the evidence mounts against him, Zeke struggles to use his journalistic skills in an effort to save himself. He discovers everyone else's secrets, including those of his parents and cousin Raffi, somehow intertwine with the investigation. Slowly, Zeke becomes his own worst enemy. *2018 Wattys Short List* *2024 On the Wattpad Action reading list! *On the Wattpad Stars "Star-Powered Thrillers" list!* *On the AntiHeroes Galore "Method in Madness" list!*Concluida

Mallory never expected her summer to turn into a full-blown mystery. One moment, she and her best friend Max were climbing trees and dodging homework, and the next-they were unraveling a secret hidden in her own home. It all starts with a strange noise in the middle of the night, an object that vanishes without a trace, and a path that leads to nowhere. Then, there's Elliot-the new guy with a past he won't talk about. He's quiet, a little too mysterious, and just when Mallory starts trusting him, the clues point right to his doorstep. Can she believe him, or is he leading her straight into danger? As Max and Mallory dig deeper, they uncover a secret room, a locked safe, and a blueprint that suggests someone has been planning something big-something that could ruin lives. But before they can put all the pieces together, the door slams shut behind them. Trapped. In the dark. And they aren't alone. Someone has been watching them. Someone who knows exactly what they've found. And they're willing to do anything to keep the truth buried. Time is running out. The thief isn't just invisible-they're always one step ahead. And if Mallory and Max don't figure it out soon... They might be next. Written by Vanessa Uzoukwu (Lotus)Concluida
