Dangerous Waters [Secondo x River] by Dani_Phantom-

After losing his beloved ghoul Lake to a mysterious illness, Papa Emeritus the second needs to summon a new water ghoul. But when he lays his eyes on the newest addition to his band, he's shocked to the core. River looks exactly like Lake, except for the feral glint in his eyes, which is nothing like the gentle water ghoul he's used to. Will he be able to build a connection with River, who seems to hate him for unknown reasons, or will he lose yet another ghoul he's slowly getting fond of? _________ ❗️Disclaimer❗️ Please note that Secondo is in his twenties in this story, because I'm way too young to write down the brain chemistry of an old man I don't own any of the characters or their names. This fanfiction is not about the people who "play" the ghouls and Papa, it's only about the personalities that they represent. There is no AI used in this book. The whole story is written by me and comes from my own imagination. Started: 12-28-2024 Finished: 03-12-2025

Her Secret Admirer by UnknownAngel_SG

She was pretty and kind-the quiet girl who never dated, never even cared to try. Relationships meant nothing to her, because her heart already belonged to one person: Alex. She had never met him. Never seen his face. Yet his presence haunted her dreams, his words etched themselves into her soul. He was a mystery... and her obsession. But then everything changed. A new student arrived. Striking. Magnetic. Dangerous in ways she couldn't put into words. For the first time, her heart raced for someone real-someone who wasn't just a shadow in her mind. Now she's caught between two worlds: the faceless Alex who has claimed her heart for years, and the boy who stands before her, awakening something she can't control. But nothing is as it seems. Alex isn't just a dream. And this new boy isn't who he appears to be. To find the truth, she must confront the impossible, uncover secrets buried in darkness, and face a choice that could destroy her. Because love can be a lie. And sometimes... it's deadly.

Hired for secrets by genesined

Journalist Sofie has to seduce a handsome escort for an exclusive tell-all article without getting lost in temptations that could become deadly. "Sometimes you need to find the secrets within to unveil the ones around you." Sofie Black is an investigative journalist whose name is on hit-lists from crime lords, drug cartels, and corrupt organizations. She only goes after the most provocative and dangerous stories, like exposing the illegal tactics of a future Prime Minister. Fear isn't part of her vocabulary, and neither are other emotions. Until she meets Philip, the charming but aloof escort to the rich and powerful. He proves he's more than a handsome face or unwitting informant when he encrypts his seedy secrets in ruthless riddles. In fact, he is the architect of Club Elandra, flipping gender stereotypes and making him the puppet master to an influential female elite. Sofie breaks free from Philip's world of pretense, temptation and denial when a murder rattles his golden cage. As the prime suspect, Philip realizes this isn't a game anymore and that the only person able to help him now is Sofie. Will Sofie write her story and risk Philip's life, or will she protect him and bury the crimes she'd vowed to expose?

The Day I Live by orpheusvamp

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone.

Bloodlines and Shadows by elizabethc1077

In a small town shadowed by secrets, librarian Agnes "Aggie" Romano has always lived a quiet, orderly life-until the storm hits. When a group of homeless children take refuge in her library, she finds herself pulled into a deadly world she never imagined. The kids have witnessed a murder near the Iron Shadows motorcycle club's territory, and their silence has painted a target on their backs. Jack "Ghost" Rourke is part of the club, a man bound by loyalty, danger, and rules that complicate his every move. As he and Aggie clash-and slowly connect-she discovers just how far she's willing to go to protect the children in her care. But the storm doesn't end there. An old mafia family comes looking for the girl they lost-a girl Aggie doesn't even remember being. And the cartel that killed one of the Iron Shadows isn't about to let her escape. Aggie must navigate loyalty, danger, and a legacy she never knew she had, while finding strength, courage, and even love in the most unlikely places. In a world where trust is deadly and enemies are always watching, can she keep the children safe... and survive long enough to claim her own destiny?

One Last Task by ace_th_gay

(I'm actually going to publish this series on amazon if you want a copy) In a world where shadows hold secrets and systems control lives, two paths begin to converge-one forged in secrecy, the other in curiosity. Red Snake has spent her life inside the system, trained to follow orders, bury emotion, and survive. But when whispers of rebellion surface and her own identity begins to crack, she starts to question everything she's been taught. Especially when the truth might cost her everything-including her life. Meanwhile, Haven and her tight-knit group of friends-Mason, Sam, and Alex-aren't part of the system... but they're about to uncover it. Armed with scattered documents, theories scribbled across Mason's bedroom walls, and drinks from their favorite café, they begin to unravel a hierarchy more sinister than they could have imagined: Council → Mr. Price → Staff → Operatives → Students. As Red Snake plans her escape and Haven's group closes in on the truth, their worlds inch closer to collision. But in a game of manipulation and buried pasts, not everyone wants to be saved. A story of found family, hidden pasts, and the price of freedom-perfect for fans of twisty conspiracies, layered characters, and slow-burning revolution.
