Whispered Shadows
Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.Concluida
The Medium
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.Concluida

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST
Elena Ward, a determined investigative journalist, rushes home when her younger sister Clara mysteriously disappears from their quiet hometown. The case seems straightforward at first-a missing person investigation-but Elena quickly realizes that nothing in this town is what it appears to be. The local police, led by Detective Marcus Hale, welcome her help but behave strangely guarded. Neighbors provide too-perfect alibis. Friends who seem trustworthy contradict themselves in small but telling ways. It feels like everyone is lying about something. As Elena digs deeper, she discovers patterns of previous vanishings, staged crime scenes, and evidence deliberately planted to mislead-like salt swapped with sugar, appearances crafted to look harmless until it's too late. Her trust begins to fracture: Marcus appears to help her, but his evasive behavior suggests hidden motives. Dr. Adrian Locke, a town psychologist, offers insight but conceals files that could break the case wide open. Even Clara's own friends aren't innocent; their secrets twist the timeline of her last known moments. The deeper Elena pushes, the more dangerous it becomes. People connected to Clara start dying in staged "accidents." Anonymous threats warn Elena to stop digging. She realizes she's entangled in the web of a puppet master known only as "The Benefactor." As paranoia escalates, Elena's reality blurs: Who is ally, who is enemy? Can she even trust her instincts anymore? In the explosive final act, Elena uncovers the truth-Clara's disappearance was no random abduction. She was bait, a move orchestrated to draw Elena herself into the trap. The Benefactor is revealed in a gut-wrenching twist as someone Elena trusted the most, someone who had played both sides of the investigation. Their motive? A chilling mix of personal revenge and psychological obsession with testing how far trust can be weaponized.
