Amidst the foggy abandoned mansion Cass Wilde stood in a once a priced jewel of the last generation. With a lamp in hand, she continually stepped on the creaking termite infested wooden boards held loosely by rusty nails hoping to finally locate the object that was once hidden and soon will be unravel.
It was early morning yet peculiarly dark. The dew had just set on the leaves of a nearby crawling plant that extends further than the frame of the old french doors that were once gleaming white, with only a little candle wax left she hurried, feet pattering and the hem of her summer dress waving from side to side.
Turning around a corner her dim light gleamed at a huge blood red door Cass grinned knowing that her long tiring journey for justice would soon come to an end.

Maeve & Sloane
In the shadowed halls of Briarhaven Conservatory, one witch is missing, and another is dead-but only one of them seems to matter to everyone else. It's the spring of 2002, and twenty-year-old college students Sloane Beauvais and Maeve Hamada just want to avoid Briarhaven's suffocating magical elite and the haunted corridors of their campus. But when a friend begged for their help, the girls put aside their doubts and decide to investigate. On the surface, everything looks the same: the college students are cruel, the cafeteria food is overpriced, and the teachers don't care. But when one of Sloane's former classmates is found suspended above her dorm bed, and another vanishes without a trace, Briarhaven descends into chaos. Wealthy warlocks pull their children from class, the media swarms the school, and the truth hides beneath layers of gossip and dark magic. Haunted by guilt, Maeve and Sloane take matters into their own hands, navigating secretive cliques, cryptic rituals, and hidden alliances that could turn on them at any moment. Don't get them wrong - they couldn't care less about their former classmates or professors. But if solving the mystery means uncovering who kidnapped their friend, then so be it.Lengkap

The Lanterns of Everwood
Mara Everhart never meant to find magic-especially not in a rusted lantern hidden beneath her family's crumbling house. Toby Alder sees things before they happen. Ezra Finch hears whispers no one else can. And Lysander Vale... well, no one's quite sure what he knows. Not even him. They didn't mean to become a group. In public, they barely speak. At school, there are arguments, tension, and far too many secrets. But something strange is happening in the quiet town of Everwood-something dark. And the lanterns are waking up. As whispers of power grow louder, and shadows from the past begin to rise, the four are drawn into a mystery older than the town itself. But when one of them is taken, everything changes. Friendship will be tested. Truths will be unearthed. And fire, storm, echo, and insight may not be enough to stop what's coming.Lengkap
Whispered Shadows
Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.Lengkap
The Lighthouse Keeper's Promise
Cassie Policarpio never expected her quiet life in the city to change so drastically. When she inherits an old lighthouse perched on the windswept cliffs of a small coastal town, she anticipates solitude and restoration. What she doesn't expect are the hidden letters she discovers within the lighthouse walls-letters written decades ago to someone named Cassie. The letters are tender, longing, and heartbreakingly intimate. They speak of promises, of devotion, and of a love so enduring that it seems impossible to belong to the past. Intrigued and unsettled, Cassie begins to unravel the mystery of the lighthouse keeper who penned them-and finds herself drawn to JM Pastor, a local historian with secrets of his own, whose presence awakens emotions Cassie thought she had long buried. As the lines between past and present blur, Cassie realizes that the love she's uncovering might not only change her understanding of history-it might change her life forever.Lengkap
Murder Mystery
On a storm-lashed night, ten people gather in the sprawling Hawthorne Mansion - an inheritance, a reunion, and a secret that should've stayed buried. Among them is Sheriff Mary Talbot, a woman too logical to believe in ghosts, yet too human to ignore the dread crawling up her spine. When the power cuts and Paul is found murdered - throat slit, eyes glassy - the mansion transforms from a symbol of legacy into a cage of suspicion. As the storm isolates them, fear breeds faster than reason. Cassandra, the mansion's heiress, clings to the illusion of control; Simon drinks to forget; Anne prays; Michele accuses; Kent guards the halls like a soldier in hostile territory; and Travis-calm, watchful, and eerily unshaken-waits. Mary begins to piece together the clues - a missing button, muddy footprints, and two letters carved into the wall: P-T. Every face holds guilt; every alibi crumbles under her gaze. The mansion itself seems to breathe, whispering secrets in every creak of its floorboards. But truth comes at a cost. Another body will fall. Loyalties will fracture. And when the last candle burns low, Mary will stand face-to-face with the killer - a man whose quietness hides a mind consumed by chaos. Murder Mystery is a chilling, cinematic thriller where reason wrestles with madness, and justice bleeds in the dark.Lengkap
