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?

Relentless by TheMeganVictoria

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. Saige O'Connor; there's a lot more to the name than meets the eye, and she can't rest easy just yet.

Her Terrifying Love by greggerguy

While being chased by her abusive boyfriend, Lyla turns the tables, shoving him into the path of an oncoming car. But rather than calling the police, she and her friend, Jack bury the body deep in the woods. Instead of finishing her senior year in peace, Lyla is horrified to discover that her dead ex has returned for revenge. This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story. (Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love") Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead." Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned." "We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing." "But maybe he woke up after we left him down there." "Woke up?! His neck was broken." Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this. "I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me." "Who was?!" "Keenan. I swear to God." "No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead." "It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading. He'd been seeing the ghost, too.
