Twenty-eight-year-old Quinn Culveny has lived in A small town named Tindesly all her life; along with her childhood best friends Buffy and Murphey. With a significantly low crime rate, Tinsely's never experienced the horrors of murders and fear. It wasn't until October 4th the night of her shift at Tinsley's Wellness Hospital did she catch the lifeless eyes of a forgotten friend being wheeled past her, bruised and bloody, murdered; her world would flip.

 With a crime that shocked Tinsley, Quinn is surprised to learn she has two new neighbors, brothers.  (Thirty-year-old) Malachi and (seventeen-year-old) Caleb Gunner, two alluring eye captivating strangers amid the murder mystery of the century. 

 Malachi the older brother is a detective and he's dragged Caleb, his younger brother along to solve this pitch-perfect town's mystery, to follow a lead he's been dwelling on for a year.

 Unknowingly one encounter with the awkward, mouth rambling Quinn would have her following him like a lost puppy for answers and she won't give up until she's solved the mystery. 

 Both eventually find solace and comfort in each other's arms, while Tinsley continues to be tormented with more murders. They're not giving up until they've found their suspect. Or suspects?

A town with no history. A girl with no name. An end with no beginning. My oldest memory of this place was blurry. It faded in and out of my dreams and subconscious. The details edges had been rubbed smooth long ago, but the feeling of complete and absolute terror had remained as distinguishable as the day it happened. fifteen or so years back... That fear has always kept me grounded to the forest that isolated me from the rest of the world. It kept me safe from whatever I had to run away from. Tricking me into thinking what was best for my survival, was to stay hidden. But when dangers from the outside seep into the safe haven I had created, all sense of security shatters. Suddenly the safety net is gone, and other people exist again... Some that had definitely thought I was dead. (as of 2/25) Hello! I have been writing this book for like 6 years and some parts may be iffy. I still have to finish and revise the final draft, but it is very close to being done. The plot and story beats will remain the same from here, while details may be subject to change in the final edit. If you enjoy a good mystery (and romance), I would ask you to please consider reading. Thank you so much!)

Book 2 in The O'Connor Chronicles The cover of darkness lingered about, fraternizing with the subtle breeze, dancing, taunting the Earth like a twisted game only it knew how to play.

Unable to live without it, they told me. It followed me, a shadowed plague there was no cure for, and I believed the lies it spat. I gave into the harsh, chastising whispers it trickled into my broken soul. I drifted into a place where misery and sorrow inhabited with me as their company. And yet, at that moment, the glooming murk of the night did not touch me. He chipped away at her walls, until, light peeked through the cracks.
