The Picking Season by GothicConfectionary

Brasswick is a city that forgets its dead-but never its debts. When bodies begin appearing across the riverfront with eyes and tongues torn away, feathers packed into their mouths, and crows circling like omens, Detective Jonah Cray recognizes the signature whispered only in alleys and basement bars: the Scavenger Court. Two masked figures-Brother and Sister-moving as one, wrapped in black cloaks and crow-skull masks no one has seen in decades. When Cray's partner, Detective Rowan Alder, vanishes without a trace, the case turns personal. A single feather, a missing badge, and a recording of Alder's voice lead Cray toward a place no map acknowledges: the Court's Cathedral, a structure that shouldn't exist and yet rises from the fog like a wound the city chooses not to heal. To save Alder-and himself-Cray must confront the truth Brasswick has been feeding for years. Because the Scavenger Court isn't hiding anymore. It's returning.

The Silence between the horns by Naafiqg2705

Daryl sees what others can't-or perhaps what they refuse to. Living in a world split between cruel reality and haunting illusion, he exists on the edge of society and sanity. But when a violent altercation unravels into a surreal encounter with a mysterious figure draped in horns, Daryl's descent becomes a revelation. As he navigates forgotten streets, shadowed alleyways, and his fractured psyche, Daryl begins to uncover a world where pain manifests into beasts, and silence is often more dangerous than screams. Torn between a need for connection and the lure of detachment, he is hunted not only by authorities but by visions that might be memories-or something darker. This is a story of isolation, madness, and fleeting humanity-a psychological labyrinth where reality twists and contorts like the city skyline. In the silence between the horns, truth waits... but it doesn't wait forever.

Empty Clips (Book 2) by sapphireblazee

(Book 2 to Empty Dreams) The streets don't forget. And neither does love. Five years have passed since the bullet that changed everything. Arrenity and Cam are finally living the life they fought so hard for-married, powerful, and raising a family behind gates of luxury and loyalty. But even peace has a price. Amina, now seven, is smart, sassy, and starting to ask questions. Questions about her real father. About a past no one wants to speak of. As Cam walks the tightrope between fatherhood and the empire he quietly controls, new enemies emerge from the shadows, hungry to reclaim what once was theirs. Arrenity is no longer the scared girl swept into chaos-she's a woman built from heartbreak, survival, and war. And when her family is threatened again, she won't hesitate to protect what's hers...even if it means picking up the gun once more. In a world where power, love, and bloodshed collide, Empty Clips explores the cost of secrets, the weight of loyalty, and the fire of a woman who refuses to be broken.

She must work together with the devil in disguise. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 Four months after the trail went dark, Cara and her team gain a second chance at retribution, at tracking down the man responsible for the mysterious chain of disappearances plaguing the streets of her town.

The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence. The man whose icy rage threatens to thaw her blazing heart. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 First Draft Completed on 12/1/2025 Completed on 12/3/2025
