Her Terrifying Love by greggerguy

While being chased by her abusive boyfriend, Lyla turns the tables, shoving him into the path of an oncoming car. But rather than calling the police, she and her friend, Jack bury the body deep in the woods. Instead of finishing her senior year in peace, Lyla is horrified to discover that her dead ex has returned for revenge. This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story. (Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love") Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead." Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned." "We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing." "But maybe he woke up after we left him down there." "Woke up?! His neck was broken." Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this. "I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me." "Who was?!" "Keenan. I swear to God." "No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead." "It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading. He'd been seeing the ghost, too.

Haunted by Death (Under heavy editing!) by wonderland_smile

(BOOK TWO) Ever feel like you're being followed. You would be with your friends and see a person staring at you from the corner of your eye. The first time you just shrug it off, but the more you began to see him the more you get scared. You try to deny it by telling yourself that you need more sleep or that it was just a trick from you brain, but it isn't. No matter what you tell yourself it won't go away. He will still be there, he will still follow and you will still scream if you see him in your house one day. Now you can go to someone and tell them about the person who is following you. They will probably arrest them and you will be save from him for a while, but here's the thing. The only different between you and me is that the person is following you is probably human, but mine is a ghost and you can't escape something that can go anywhere he wants to go with getting seen by other people.
