Alongside her best friend Angie, the emotionally avoidant artist, and a strange cast of friends including the enigmatic Maddie and secretive Theo, Gemmy's investigation into Jayce's sudden disappearance becomes more than just a search for answers.
As they uncover cryptic clues, long-buried traumas, and chilling connections, the group begins to unravel the mystery that threatens to destroy everything they know. But the truth, as they soon discover, may not only shatter their understanding of the past-it could be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.
Shadows Behind the Doors explores the complexities of friendship, the trauma we carry, and the lengths we'll go to uncover the secrets that bind us. With twists, heartbreak, and a race against time, Gemmy must confront her own fears and protect her loved ones at all costs.

The Price We Pay #3 in Merciless Series
There are ways of dying that do not end with a funeral. Types of deaths you can't see, feel or smell. Because death, just like love, has a mind of its own and some things can't be prevented. What started as an innocent high school quest in search of truth and revenge quickly turned into something entirely else. Something that Aspen Cornwell never anticipated. Something that shatters her entire reality, leaving her without an idea what to do next. She has lost almost everything that mattered to her so losing herself doesn't really make that much of a difference to her. When Collin Adamms returns back with a new dose of truth about what really happened to Courtney Chapel, alongside with his new-found memory that he lost due to his temporary retrograde amnesia, he finds Aspen in a state he would have never imagined. She seems like an entirely different person and reminds him so much of himself. They are both stuck in a vicious cycle of lies, schemes and addictions and Collin's determined to finally make things right. He tries desperately to save Aspen from her own self-destruction because the price they all have been paying seems like too much and he's not willing to pay anymore. Definitely not for something someone else should be paying for. But saving someone else while also trying to save yourself from demons constantly shadowing your every move might be more difficult than he thought. And maybe they aren't done paying for all the lies just yet.Complete

Pretend ~ wlw
What happens when the monster in the house is your new stepsister? Liv Brooklyn's life fractures the moment her mother says yes to a man she barely knows. Nineteen years of familiarity are erased for a stranger, a new city, and a house that never feels safe. The man is almost a stranger. His children are worse. Liv learns quickly that this isn't a fresh start-it's a quiet trap. Torrey Newton is the worst of it. Twenty years old. Cold-blooded. A sadist behind perfect composure. Torrey doesn't raise her voice, doesn't need to. She breaks people slowly, deliberately. She has everything-money, influence, fear-everything except the one thing that still owns her thoughts: the girl who walked away and left her hollow. Maddy Longing. Her name alone is poison. Beautiful in a way that ruins lives. The kind of woman people warn you about after it's too late. To some, she's the cruelest human alive. To others, the most devastating lover they've ever touched. She leaves marks no one can see and scars no one admits to. And somehow, she never really leaves. When Liv meets her, she doesn't recognize the danger-only the pull. Torrey does. Now Liv is living in Torrey's house, breathing her air, and reaching for what was never meant to be hers. Desire turns into rivalry. Rivalry turns into obsession. And Maddy-always at the center-keeps dragging them back into the same dark orbit. Bound by a family they didn't choose and a woman who ruins them both, Liv and Torrey spiral-hurting each other, wanting the same thing, and finding that no matter how far they run, they always circle back. Some loves don't save you. They destroy you slowly-and enjoy it.Complete
