I See You by January616

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

Secrets of Shadow Creek by LeeZero

With nothing but a rotting wooden sign all but invisible on the main road, the town of Shadow Creek is drawing in some unlikely newcomers and it won’t take long for them to realize that this small town set deep in the mountains of modern day Virginia, is home to some very interesting people with even more interesting and sometimes dangerous secrets. On the run from an unknown past, Cassie Colette, her sister Chloe, and her two sons are searching for a safe place to make their new home. Noticing a rotted sign for a small town, they assume it to be a deserted ghost town and decide to take a much needed break from the long hours of driving. Upon reaching the town however, they find that Shadow Creek is far from what they would call a ghost town. But in Shadow Creek, the Colette’s aren’t the only ones with secrets to hide. Could this be the safe haven they were looking for, or will the secrets of the residents prove to be more deadly than what they’re running from? The first in the Shadow Creek series, delve into this small, forgotten town and meet the people who make her what she is as they live out their own lives and relationships along with the Colettes.

Think more along the lines of a community of interesting and sexy people who all have secrets to hide. Now throw in a murderer, some sexy attraction, and just a dash of the supernatural and you have a hint of Shadow Creek and what it's about. One thing is for sure, Shadow Creek may be an isolated little town but she sure as hell ain't boring... So if your looking for a new pace, something unique to sink into, you may have just found what you're lookin for. ;) Don't forget to vote and comments are welcomed. Enjoy.
