Sanford Crow by MikeLemieux

2022 Watty Winner || At the age of ten, Sanford Crow discovers the worst secret of all--his father is a serial killer. It was the year 1969. Sanford's dream was to grow up to be a detective. Putting his intuitions to the test, he conducts an investigation into his father. The discovery he makes brings his whole world crashing down, and to the culmination of one terrible Christmas morning. Twenty five years later, it's 1994. Sanford is a divorced and a recovering alcoholic, with an eight-year-old daughter named Sadie. His dreams of becoming a detective never came to fruition. Instead, he lives vicariously through his job of being a crime scene cleaner. As therapy begins to open up doors to his past that he'd rather keep shut, the same string of murders that his father committed when he was a child are happening again all around him. Sanford starts questioning his grip on reality. The answers he finds brings his past rushing back, and has him doubting everything he thought he knew about himself, his past, and his own sanity.

Under the Shadows by NyraAshvale

He leaned closer, a sly smile playing on his lips as he pulled down his mask. "What's the verdict?" he asked, his piercing green eyes locking onto hers. Elyne Cooper, the youngest detective in the NYPD, has one mission: capture The Reclaimer, a vigilante with the charisma of a saint and the precision of a devil, who has turned New York into his playground-and her life into a storm of chaos. But when their paths cross in a quiet café, Elyne finds herself drawn into his dangerous game. He knows her. He's been watching. And now, he's one step ahead. As the public hails him a hero and the NYPD demands his capture, Elyne must uncover the truth behind the man-and fight the feelings he's awakened in her. But every step closer to the truth pulls her further into the darkness, where justice blurs with obsession and betrayal feels like destiny. "Careful, Detective," he murmured, his fingers brushing hers as he secured the knot. "If you keep shivering like that under my touch, I might think you enjoy this." What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted-and the prey is far too tempting to resist? © All rights reserved

The Sweetbriar Slayer by AleksandraEvans

Aurelia is a Courtesan, not an Assassin. Her world is turned upside down, however, when she kills a high-ranking Senator in self defense. Given his status, and the political power his family wields, Aurelia knows she will be executed without a trial. When all hope seems lost, the Assassin's Guild of Glascoast steps in and offers her a rare opportunity: if she succeeds in assassinating seven senators in seven days, she will be permitted to join their ranks, and her murder will be written off as Guild business. As Aurelia struggles to complete the task set before her, she discovers that there is much more to this challenge than meets the eye. There are dark currents swirling through Glascoast, and somehow, she has stumbled into the heart of them. Hemmed in on all sides, a choice looms before her. Its consequences will ripple through her city, and have the potential to save or destroy her world. 1st place winner in The Blossom Awards, 2023 1st place winner in The Gemini Awards, 2023 1st place winner in the Tricolor Triennial Awards, 2023 *Contains graphic scenes of gore, violence, and sexuality* Cover by @annamitamuscaria

"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered.
