Between the Lines of Reality by ThatOneEmilia

💭 What if your memories weren't yours? What if reality was a trap? Elisa thought she was just a student, chasing grades, proving she was worth something. Until the cracks appeared. A teacher with eyes too sharp. A notebook filled with things she shouldn't know. A friend who disappears like he never existed. And a world that rewrites itself every time she blinks. Something is watching. Waiting. Hunting. She has one choice-keep pretending, or ask the question that will change everything. Because once she does... there's no going back. 🖤 Reality is a lie. And she's about to tear it apart. 🔥 For fans of dark academia, psychological thrillers, and reality-bending mysteries.

RoseBlood by meeshapatricia

Roses have many representations. For Holly Cassia, it's one of pure dread. Dread knowing that the RoseBlood Killer has murdered both of her parents in a poetically twisted way, and now they're after her, leaving only threatening love notes and blood-red roses to remind her that they're closer than she thinks... and they aren't going anywhere. Before they can strike, though, the equally unusual Tyrel Trust, a group of three detective siblings involved in helping solve the case, takes Holly away from her home and to a place where she can work with them to expose the obsessive killer safely. However, time is ticking, and Holly is the last victim in the murderer's sights. If she dies, she's sure that they'll disappear for good, and the case will go cold. But can she learn to trust the Tyrels, especially Emerson, who seems more alike to her than anyone she's met before? Could the strange murder that happened in their own family three years ago be connected to the one that took away the Cassias' lives? And will the Tyrels manage to reopen the cold case that left them fatherless, to solve The Case of the RoseBlood Killer once and for all, or will the truth remain buried? "Roses are red, "Blood is too, "You're better off dead, "I'm coming for you."
