Whispers Beyond The Veil by tokyobabe2007

After their parent's tragic death, sisters Wendy and Audrey are left with a hole in their lives they cannot fill. But when the grief becomes unbearable, Wendy takes a dangerous path in search of closure: an ancient Babylonian ritual to contact the spirit of her mother. Desperate to hear her mother's voice one more time, Wendy performs the ritual-only to unleash something far darker and more malevolent than she ever anticipated. As the ritual goes horribly wrong, Wendy inadvertently invites an evil force into their lives. When her sister becomes the first victim of this unleashed power, Wendy is left shattered with guilt. But her sister's death is only the beginning. Dark forces start spreading across Ravenswood, and soon, more lives are lost because of Wendy's naive attempt to meddle with the supernatural. With her small town now gripped by terror, Wendy must confront the evil she unleashed, all while battling the growing whispers from beyond. As ancient powers stir and her enemies multiply, Wendy finds herself at the center of a deadly mystery that could claim the lives of everyone she loves-unless she can find a way to stop the very force she summoned. "Whispers Beyond the Veil" is a haunting tale of grief, dark rituals, and deadly consequences, where one girl's yearning for connection sets off a chain of horrors that threatens everyone around her.

The Day I Live by OrpheusAngelos

(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. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods.

Cursed (Old Version) by girlwithrainboweyes

Please read new version! This old version is for memories. :)

Lenora's Grimoire by Falling-Rivers

(Former title: Book of Rosethorns) Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021
