ghostlylove gothic gothicromance mystery-thriller supernatural

When Elara inherits a long-forgotten mansion shrouded in mist and memory, she expects decay and dust-what she finds instead is a living presence. The House of Velvet Shadow breathes with whispers, its corridors shifting like dreams, its mirrors reflecting more than what stands before them.

As Elara delves deeper into the mansion's history, she uncovers fragments of a tragic past: a forbidden love that defied time, a betrayal that sealed a curse, and a restless spirit bound to the house's heart. That spirit is Cassian-beautiful, tormented, and impossibly real.

Cassian's existence is tethered to the mansion by an ancient spell, his soul trapped between life and death. Drawn together by fate and desire, Elara and Cassian's connection grows even as the house tightens its grip. Every secret revealed brings them closer to the truth-and closer to the danger that lurks within the velvet shadows.

To break the curse, they must face the sins that birthed it and the darkness that feeds it. But the house is alive, and it remembers. It will not surrender its secrets-or its prisoners-without a fight.All Rights Reserved

Stolen Breath by LvDaSky

Elara knew Oakhaven was dreary. She just didn't know it was deadly. After the sudden loss of her parents, eighteen-year-old Elara is exiled to the perpetually rain-soaked, isolated town of Oakhaven. The moment she arrives, she feels the oppressive weight of the forest-a place where the shadows whisper and the air hums with forgotten magic. One restless night, she dares to cross the boundary into the ancient woods and meets the town's oldest secret: Cassian. He's dangerously beautiful, utterly cold, and has been frozen in time for two hundred and fifty-four years. Cassian is the Warden, bound by an unbreakable covenant sealed by Elara's ancestors centuries ago. His silver eyes are the only light in the gloom, and his gaze tells her everything she needs to know: the waiting is over. Elara carries the final payment. Cassian came to collect the debt. The cost of his freedom might be her life, but the magnetic pull between them is a terrifying promise of a fate they can't escape.

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.

To save the city, Nova must confront her forgotten past, face the family that sacrificed her, and choose whether to destroy the artifact fueling the curse, or risk everything trying to contain it.

When she meets Adrian Hale, the town's most mysterious boy-known as "the cursed one"-she realizes he's hiding a terrifying secret.

Forced to team up to uncover the truth, Elena and Adrian discover that the town hides a dark history: a pact made with shadows centuries ago.

Maeve & Sloane by schma10

In the shadowed halls of Briarhaven Conservatory, one witch is missing, and another is dead-but only one of them seems to matter to everyone else. It's the spring of 2002, and twenty-year-old college students Sloane Beauvais and Maeve Hamada just want to avoid Briarhaven's suffocating magical elite and the haunted corridors of their campus. But when a friend begged for their help, the girls put aside their doubts and decide to investigate. On the surface, everything looks the same: the college students are cruel, the cafeteria food is overpriced, and the teachers don't care. But when one of Sloane's former classmates is found suspended above her dorm bed, and another vanishes without a trace, Briarhaven descends into chaos. Wealthy warlocks pull their children from class, the media swarms the school, and the truth hides beneath layers of gossip and dark magic. Haunted by guilt, Maeve and Sloane take matters into their own hands, navigating secretive cliques, cryptic rituals, and hidden alliances that could turn on them at any moment. Don't get them wrong - they couldn't care less about their former classmates or professors. But if solving the mystery means uncovering who kidnapped their friend, then so be it.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

Twice Born by Deluluafchild

Grief can open doors the living were never meant to find. After losing her brother, Elowen Anderson thought the worst was behind her. But grief doesn't rest, it lingers, it listens. There's a threat. It's patient, and it has it's set on a target...Her Visions bleed into reality. Memories that aren't hers claw their way into her mind. A forgotten man-Dionys Kaltheris, a soul twisted by betrayal and agony-reaches for her through the cracks of time. Yet the more she learns of his pain, the harder it becomes to tell who the true monster is, the hollow spirit that haunts her, or the world that made him. As the veil between the living and the dead begins to tear, Elowen discovers that the restless are not alone. Spirits roam the earth-some lost, others consumed by vengeance-and from beneath them rise the Demons of the Underworld, the architects of suffering who keep souls chained to despair. Drawn into a war she never chose, Elowen must decide whether to fight for the living, to save herself and her loved ones-or to understand the dead. Her path will cross fear, grief, a soulless spirit that has his eyes on her, her brother reaching out from the afterlife itself, memories that aren't hers, spirit exorcists, fractured loyalties, and truths too heavy to bear. And when the time comes, she'll learn that some salvation demands sacrifice.
