The Unnoticed Bird by BooksbyyJ

Evelyn has always felt invisible. No matter how hard she tries to be seen, she's the one people look past - the quiet girl with too many thoughts and not enough words. She's misunderstood at home, overlooked at school, and stuck wondering if anyone will ever really know her. After a sudden loss forces her to move to a new town, Evelyn tries to start over. But it's hard to rebuild yourself when you've never really known who you were. A secret buried in her family's past. Then she meets someone who seems to understand her silence - someone who notices what others don't. And for the first time, Evelyn begins to see that maybe being unseen doesn't mean being unworthy. It's a story about feeling lost, about being quiet in a loud world, and about finding your voice when no one expects you to. Even the quietest souls have stories worth hearing.

When Emma finds an old leather-bound book, she has no idea that she has taken the first step into a mystery greater than herself. At first, there are only strange coincidences - words that appear on the pages, shadows in the mirror that don't belong to her. But soon the book seems to know more than it should - more about the past and a truth that has been hidden for years. In her search for answers, Emma stumbles upon a trail that leads to a missing girl, a silent conspiracy, and an organization hidden in the city's underground. Each clue brings her closer to the truth - and at the same time to a danger she didn't see coming. Because nothing about this book is ordinary. Nothing about it is random. And nothing about it found her without reason. The deeper Emma delves into the mystery, the clearer it becomes: some secrets choose you - and never let you go.

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul by ChristyM01

Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉
