Some scars never fade. Some mysteries refuse to stay buried.

Fifteen years ago, Luna Anderson's world shattered when her sister Allison was brutally murdered, her lifeless body marked with a cryptic symbol. The killer disappeared without a trace, leaving Luna with nothing but grief-and questions.

Now a detective with the Seattle Police Department, Luna's past collides with her present when a college student is found dead, her body bearing the same haunting insignia. 

As Luna and her partner, Detective Jay, unravel the victim's life, every lead tightens the noose around a shadowy figure who has evaded capture for over a decade. But the closer Luna gets, the more she risks losing herself to the darkness.

In a race against time and her own demons, Luna must face the ultimate question: is she ready to confront the ghost of her past-or will it consume her?All Rights Reserved

Near Miss by InolienKiki

At precisely 9:27 PM, Malachi Lindquist's coworker watched him leave work. At 9:50, while cycling, he was hit by a car and killed near the entrance to a park, six miles away. The case would have been completely dismissed by the Seattle police department, if not for a bizarre time discrepancy: the restaurant where Malachi works and the park where he was found dead are forty minutes away by bike. Through a secondhand connection, Rhiannon Valdez, problem-solver and geek medical student, becomes once again embroiled in a suspicious death. Working quietly to avoid the attention of an obnoxious police detective, Rhiannon is determined to figure out who's lying and why. Sylvie Stein, Rhiannon's investigative partner, is hard at work on her own case: someone is trying to kill Magdalen Hawk, but their attempts are carried out so poorly that Magdalen herself is happy to laugh it off. With the help of her best friend and police informant Rorie Redmond, Sylvie's investigations turn up a wild scattering of motives... but even her impeccable logic can't seem to find anyone with the opportunity to kill Magdalen. As the mystery deepens and the cases begin to look less and less like accidents, Rhiannon and Sylvie learn the truth about their investigative talents: to truly solve such a complex problem, they must turn to each other.

Supernatural/Modern AU. Finding three mysteriously dead teens causes Sheriff Snotlout Jorgensen to call in his cousin and his band of supernatural investigators. Unexpectedly finding themselves in the past, Hiccup has to solve the mystery or they will all share the dead teens fate. Sequel to 'The Spectre of Raven Point' A/N: Halloween again and I couldn't resist the opportunity to deploy paranormal investigator Hiccup Haddock once more. Of course, there are no more spooky lighthouses in need of exorcism but a spooky house, some mysterious murders and a century-old wrong should keep him busy. Enjoy!
