In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth. Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. In Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

Lily Morgan has never truly belonged. After surviving the fire that killed her parents as a baby, she was taken in by relatives who never wanted her-an obligation, not a child. For seventeen years, she's lived in a house that feels more like a prison, haunted by a past she can't remember and a future she isn't sure she wants. But when her senior class plans a week-long trip to Hollow Pines, something inside her whispers that this isn't just a getaway. It's a warning. Because Hollow Pines isn't just any camp. People have gone missing there before. And when Lily vanishes on the third night, her friends are left scrambling for answers-only to uncover secrets that should have stayed buried. Somebody wanted Lily dead the night her parents burned. And this time, they won't fail. A haunting mystery filled with secrets, betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is Lying.
