Whispered Shadows by Laconie1975

Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.

In a small, quiet town where everyone knows everyone else's secrets, a group of childhood friends is forced to confront their darkest mistake. Years ago, they covered up a murder they committed as teenagers, convinced that silence was the only way to escape the consequences. But when a series of brutal killings begins to mirror the events of that fateful night, the group's carefully constructed facade begins to crumble. As the killer gets closer, they are confronted with a chilling truth: the past is never truly buried. Someone knows what they did. Someone wants revenge. Elliott "Eli" Thatcher, haunted by the weight of the cover-up, feels guilty for his role in hiding the truth, even though he wasn't directly involved in the crime. Caleb Pierce swears he's moved on, but he's still clinging to the lies they told all those years ago. Ronan McClain, the former bully, is still the same, pushing the group to cover their tracks as the tension grows. Elena "Ellie" Harper is the one who begins to connect the dots and digs deeper into the mystery, slowly uncovering the identity of the killer. And Sophie North, the former lover of Eli, is torn between protecting her past and unearthing the truth that threatens to destroy everything. As the killer's motives become clearer, the group must reckon with the consequences of their actions and decide whether they can live with the weight of their silence-or if they will finally reveal the truth before it's too late.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
