Echoes in the Water - Book 1 by Tailz-Gray

Ava moves back to her hometown after the sudden death of her father, a local fisherman who vanished at sea under suspicious circumstances. As Ava sorts through her father's belongings, she uncovers cryptic journals detailing his obsessive research into a centuries-old maritime legend: The Drowned Woman of Greyshore Cove. Local folklore claims the "Drowned Woman" was a healer who cursed the town before being falsely accused of witchcraft and executed. Since then, every decade, a storm claims the life of a fisherman from the community. When another storm approaches, Ava notices eerie patterns connecting her father's death to other disappearances. She suspects foul play but faces skepticism from the townsfolk, who dismiss her findings as a product of her "quirky" tendencies and the town's love of tall tales. Follow Ava's story in Book two Echoes in the Depths out now!!

Captain Park Jimin had devoted his life to finding it. When the storm struck, it should have been the end of his journey. Instead, it brought her. She was silent, bound by a curse that held her voice and her freedom hostage. The siren's eyes told a story of loss, pain, and something darker-a warning Jimin ignored. To him, she was more than a survivor of the storm. She was the path to his greatest desire.

Ebb Tide: Book 1 of the South Wind Saga by jasekovacs

Imagine the world ended while you were at sea. A two week blue water passage becomes a journey into an unknown future when a virulent plague wipes out humanity. Where would you go? How would you survive? And what would happen to your children? It's thirteen years after the Great Dying, a vicious plague that wiped out 99% of humanity - and turned many of the survivors into twisted monsters. Matai is the last surviving member of a famous sailing family. Alone, she sails her yacht Voodoo through a shattered world. Battling the elements and vicious survivors, she struggles to keep the failing systems of her boat - her home - going. She uses every ounce of ingenuity and knowledge gleaned from her passed parents to perform the day to day maintenance necessary to stay afloat. She has become a scavenger by necessity; searching deadly shipwrecks for anything that can keep her alive - or that she can trade with other survivors. But all this changes when, while exploring a derelict cargo ship, she discovers an evil greater than any she's ever faced. For the isolated islands of the Pacific are now the last scattered bastions of humanity. And it is on these islands that Matai will face her greatest challenge yet - one that may spell the final end for the human race.

F*** Cancer, This One Did Us All In. by IgnotusCapillary

There's not a lot that can freak me out in this world. Only large animals with sharp claws, too many people touching me, bullies, hives, horror movies, sitting underneath fans or lights or anything that dangles from a ceiling, glass or wooden bridges, my mother, mosquitoes, public situations, taking a shower with nobody in the house, taking a shower with too many people in the house and crocks. Oh, and zombies. Zombies is definitely on that list. It's almost a shame too, that I have to race through a city packed full of them to find my missing family. Packed full of zombies, by the way, not crocks. (Although I don't know which situation is worse.) Now I have to not only keep my feeble body alive, but also protect (or be protected by) my two best friends in the entire world as we all try to survive in a city packed with the Dead.

The Wolf & The Sheep by lactosecarrotsoup

Based on the current games lore (August 2024) and with my own little twists. Maria Flores is an aspiring photographer who has unfortunate luck. Johnny Slaughter is a mama's boy raised in a place that makes hell jealous. Johnny captures Maria with only one intention - to make her his. But now Maria's boyfriend, sister, and friends are out to find her. Could Maria escape? Or will she die trying by hands that claim to "love" her? WARNING: This story contains graphically written topics! Such as sexual intercourse, sexual assault attempt, sexual assault fantasies, violence, gore/blood, cannibalism, cheating, slight animal abuse, emetophobia, Stockholm syndrome, racism, and character death. I try to put warnings before each chapter. More warnings might come as the story progresses. Dead dove: do not eat.

his flower queen (nikolai lantsov) by -eebles-

No matter how many times Death caressed her pale cheeks and promised that she would be taken in, she kept waking up, disappointment washing over her every time since she wasn't worthy enough to even be taken in by Death, her best friend.
