In Red Ivy, beauty is a warning.
The flowers bloom year-round. The lake is always still. And the girls who vanish are always described the same way- Pretty. Quiet. Gone.
Berlyn Palmer wasn't supposed to stay long. But when she's sent to live with her aunt in Red Ivy, she steps into a town that wears charm like perfume-sweet on the surface, rotting underneath. People smile, but never speak of the missing. The lake sparkles, but never gives back what it takes.
When another girl turns up dead, Berlyn starts to notice the patterns. The whispers. The fear behind the silence. And the more she digs, the more the town begins to turn its gaze on her.
Because in Red Ivy, the prettiest things don't last. They're chosen. They're claimed.
And they never leave quietly.

The Unnoticed Bird
Evelyn has always felt invisible. No matter how hard she tries to be seen, she's the one people look past - the quiet girl with too many thoughts and not enough words. She's misunderstood at home, overlooked at school, and stuck wondering if anyone will ever really know her. After a sudden loss forces her to move to a new town, Evelyn tries to start over. But it's hard to rebuild yourself when you've never really known who you were. A secret buried in her family's past. Then she meets someone who seems to understand her silence - someone who notices what others don't. And for the first time, Evelyn begins to see that maybe being unseen doesn't mean being unworthy. It's a story about feeling lost, about being quiet in a loud world, and about finding your voice when no one expects you to. Even the quietest souls have stories worth hearing.

It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
