Whispers in the Dark by SVSato

Fifteen years ago, Claire Harper fled her childhood home, determined never to return. The house had been a place of secrets, whispers, and tragedies-most notably, the mysterious death of her best friend, Sarah, found cold and lifeless in the basement. Claire left everything behind, including her fractured relationship with her sister, Julia. But when Julia goes missing without a trace, Claire has no choice but to return to the decaying house she swore she'd never see again. The police have no answers, but cryptic messages on her phone suggest someone knows more about Julia's disappearance-and about what really happened all those years ago. As Claire digs deeper, old memories resurface: the strange noises in the house, the feeling of being watched, and the creeping sense that something malevolent has always lurked within its walls. With each step closer to the truth, Claire realizes that the line between memory and madness is dangerously thin-and the answers she seeks might just shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her past, and herself. In this gripping psychological thriller, Whispers in the Dark explores the dark recesses of the mind and the haunting power of buried secrets. Some truths are better left forgotten... but what if they're the only thing that can save you?

Awakening by Otterpop543

A small and quiet Utah town is full of life. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful scenery. Friends and family that stand by you no matter what. And the light of faith being their guide and protection. Also hostile shadowy creatures, a town-wide epidemic, an unexpected famine, and unrest between even the closest of friends. And standing in the middle of it all is an ordinary young man with the remarkable, and secret, ability to see spirits and specters. Or at least, that's what he thought. Turns out he's the most unordinary being there, and with his town falling into disarray, all he has are his abilities and a mysterious weapon only he can wield.
