The Girl Left Behind
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.

The Cabin
A chill in the air, a quiet tapping in the corner, and the unshakeable feeling that someone is watching. All simple things that can be written off as features of an old cabin and an overactive imagination. While sharing a rustic cabin in the woods with her friends, Melanie finds herself within the grips of something evil lurking within the cabin... and it's not going to let her go.Complete
Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
