THE ASHWOOD MURDERS by Dania_Lateef

When Detective Lucas Grey arrives in the eerie town of Ashwood, he expects a routine case. But the brutal murders of three men-each linked by a secret past-turn the investigation into something far darker. The victims, once childhood friends, share a chilling mark carved into their skin-a signature of a killer with a deadly purpose. As Lucas delves deeper, he encounters Emma Carter, a quiet yet resilient bakery owner with a past just as tangled as the town's. Emma's parents died in a supposed car accident when she was a child, but when Lucas uncovers a star-shaped necklace tied to her mother, long-buried truths come to light. The town whispers of an ancient brotherhood leaving behind a trail of blood and betrayal. With Sheriff Margaret Cole, a sharp yet haunted officer, by his side, Lucas pieces together a conspiracy decades in the making. But as the body count rises, trust erodes. Who among them is next? And when the past refuses to stay buried, will Lucas escape Ashwood's deadly grip, or will he become another name on the killer's list?

She is the Queen by ohtomjones

However, this time he did a move that I didn't expect. His face turned dark, his eyes shaded black as he smirked in a very evil way. "Why aren't you scared, little bird?" As he pulled a gun from his pants and put it on the desk pointing it towards me, he said, "I can kill you and no soul would know about it." He chuckled again. I chuckled matching his energy. I wasn't going to give up yet. He was surprised by my nonchalance and satisfied by this, I sat down. "Fear is not going to save me from my end. Whether I die or not, it doesn't matter. I really don't care. Thats why I am not scared of you." *** Laila Pierro is a very intelligent young lady who gets kidnapped by a domineering tycoon leader due to her grandad's dangerous line of business.

A VEIL IN THE SHADE by EliahRoyKercad

Wisnokee. A city where the night devours the weak, and justice is as twisted as the criminals who rule its streets. Corruption thrives in every alley, and the law is just another game played by those with power. Detective Elroy Stephens has spent years trying to clean up the filth, but some cases refuse to be solved in the light. That's why, when the sun sets, he becomes something else. He becomes The Veil. A masked vigilante, a shadow in the dark, the last judgment for those the system refuses to punish. But Wisnokee is bleeding, and something far more sinister has emerged. Bodies begin appearing-hanging from streetlights, from courthouse rafters, from the bones of a dying city. Each corpse bears a mark-a sentence passed by an executioner long thought to be a ghost. They call him The Hangman. And his trials have just begun. Now, The Veil must descend into the abyss of Wisnokee's underworld, facing ruthless crime lords, corrupt officials, and a cult of justice-driven fanatics who believe the only way to cleanse the city is by leaving it hanging. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Elroy will be forced to confront his own demons. Because in Wisnokee, the only verdict that matters is the one written in blood. In Wisnokee, justice isn't blind... it's hanging by a thread.
