Sixteen year old Deja dreams of the day she can get away from her abusive and overbearing mother, Courtney, but as soon as Deja takes steps toward her independence and dating Courtney snaps. Her mood swings keep Deja guessing, never knowing what abuse Courtney might put her through next.

As Deja comes of driving age she realizes Courtney is hiding secrets, but what could someone as dull as her mother be hiding?

When Deja accepts a job at the Dollar Cinema across the street from her housing development she hears a rumor that a teen girl was murdered at the Cinema sixteen years ago, and the murderer was never caught.

The cold case doesn't dissuade Deja from taking the job, but in the process she unravels family secrets and endangers her own life.

KIDNAPPED by 06Aman

The vines always grow back. Reneè never wanted to be a hero. She just wanted to survive. After witnessing a brutal murder tied to the infamous Mr. Carlisle, seventeen-year-old Reneè becomes the last living witness-and his next target. Carlisle is a ghost, a myth whispered in the city's underbelly, and his influence reaches far beyond the shadows. With her aunt branding her a monster and her only friend vanished, the police are her only hope. But when Officer Jones takes her in for protection, Reneè realizes too late: safety is an illusion when you come face to face with the devil himself, Mr. Carlisle. Police protection is like a child's game to him. Now, trapped in a web of corruption, betrayal (from her aunt, mostly) and manipulation, Reneè must outrun Carlisle's empire. The world she knew has fallen away, leaving her isolated in a dangerous game where the rules are his alone. Because the vines of his influence are everywhere-some might be in the judge's gavel, the neighbor's smile, even the hands that promise to protect her. He is a master manipulator, pulling strings that control her fate and her heart. And the deeper she fights, the tighter they coil. But when the vines start growing inside her mind, who's really trapped? Is it her, bound by his obsessive world, or is it him, tethered by a desire he never saw coming?

Phobia by SamiCoops

Five teens. Kidnapped. To live out their darkest fears. *** When five teenagers are abducted outside of the local nightclub, it sends shockwaves through the small town of Redstone. How were they taken? Where are they being kept? And most importantly, why? The answer is as simple as it is horrifying. The creator of a new serum called Phobia needs test subjects. And if she can't get volunteers, she will just take them by force. Detectives Jon Cartwright and Isaiah Sanders willingly take the case. But they soon realise they are in over their heads. With the parents desperate to find their children and an evil genius who's always one step ahead, the race against time becomes crucial. Trapped in a room and injected with the serum, the teenagers begin to lose their grip on reality and are unable to tell fact from fiction. Minutes turn to hours. Panic descends into paranoia. Bonds will be tested and broken. And their worst fears will come to life. [Featured on @mystery, @fright and @newlywrittenbooks] Amazing cover by @FireOpalDani

The Red Game (GxG) by elizabethworks66

Harper Beatrice never strayed far from the blonde stereotype. She was everything you'd expect-simple, slow-witted, and pretty. That was the image everyone at her university adored, the reason she was both popular and loved. But beneath that porcelain skin and seemingly typical mind lay secrets no one had ever gotten close enough to uncover. Who would be brave enough to peel back Harper's layers and expose the truth she hid so well? Ruth Vichai was a serial killer-unapologetic, unrestrained, and unbothered by her nature or desires. Fear was foreign to her, and a random blonde's "feelings" didn't even make the list of things she cared about. She pushed and pushed until Harper finally broke-then left her to deal with the wreckage. But abandoning Harper to face her own dark impulses was a mistake. Because when you set a monster free, it always comes back to bite you. ⚠️ This book contains the following: mature themes (violence, drug abuse, alcohol abuse...etc), sexual themes, non-consensual sexual acts, and strong language.

Pulling back for just a breath, I felt her hands slide from my chest to my waist, trailing like fire along my skin. The world around us faded, and I was lost in the sensation of her, the fervor of the kiss igniting an insatiable hunger I hadn't dared to recognize until now. "Fuck... me," I breathed, surrendering to the intoxicating heat of what lay before us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cara Henderson was just steps away from freedom-high school behind her, the world ahead-but shadows of the past creep ever closer. Her father, renowned lawyer Charlie Henderson, thought he had buried the monsters he'd put away 13 years ago. But now, as their dark vengeful eyes fix on Cara, he's miles away, powerless. Will she find the strength to outwit the killers who know her every secret? Or will the legacy of fear they've left drown her hope? The clock is ticking, and with each passing moment, her fate hangs in the balance. Will Cara fight for her life, or will she become another victim of her father's past?

⚠️ MATURE⚠️ This story contains strong use of language and mature scenes. If you are offended easily do not read. •.• I snuggled into the comfortable warmth of the fluffy pillow as I was eager to go back to sleep. The fan lullabied me into a hazy state. Suddenly, a heavy weight landed on my waist, pulling me from the tired daze. I leaned up in shock as my hands flung forward defensively to push whoever was on me off. With a strong force, my shoulders were shoved backwards and into the mattress. Grunts of struggle filled the room as we fought each other. The offender grabbed my wrists and held them firmly above my head with one strong hand. Sobs of terror escaped from my chest as a thumb caressed my cheek to wipe away the spilled tears. "P-please let go of me," I begged, trembling. "You are so beautiful." A man's voice spoke, his large hand leaving my face and traveling down my body to squeeze my pelvic region. "Stop." I screeched, my demand ricocheting between the four bedroom walls. The man growled darkly. "If you scream again, I will kill you." I nodded keenly in response to show that I would not challenge his threat. His hand slowly freed my mouth, testing if I would disobey him. He reached into his pocket. A knife, zip tie, and a rag were all revealed. The view made me realize that this could be my last chance to get help. If I did not call out right now, he would take me. I would not make it out alive either way. I let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood.
