Some houses keep secrets. Others feed on them.
When Evelyn Morrow inherits the eerie, decaying Ravenhurst House, she's not looking for answers-just solitude. A reclusive writer with a haunted past, Evelyn is used to shadows. But Ravenhurst doesn't just house them.
It births them.
Every night, as thunder shudders through the sky, he appears.
A man. Still. Silent. Unmoving. Watching her from beyond the fence with eyes like carved obsidian.
Fear coils in her throat, but so does something darker-curiosity. Need.
He never speaks. He never enters.
But she knows he's waiting.
As Evelyn begins to unravel the secrets of Ravenhurst-its cursed origins, its missing women, its connection to a forgotten occult society-she finds herself drawn deeper into a chilling game of obsession, seduction, and control. Her stalker isn't just watching to torment her. He's watching to protect her-from something worse. Something coming.
And Ravenhurst won't let her leave until it has taken everything from her.
Even her sanity.
Even her soul.
"In a house that hungers for secrets and a man who thrives in darkness, Evelyn must decide: run from the monsters, or become one."

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.

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.Complete

Though she returns, nothing in her life is the same. Her family has vanished without a trace. The home she has spent more torturous yet joyful moments in, the closest thing to home, destroyed and left in rubble. Her best friends, her brother, her own daughter, missing without so much as a trail. No one left to help her, console her, tell her everything will be okay. Within the span of five months, Evelyn has managed to rise back to her feet, but she's dropped her old life. Temporarily. Changing her hair style, and name, she's confided in people eligible to help her. But per usual, she's ultimately bound to making enemies. Creating a new enemy was not on her agenda, especially not one that she is agreeing to marry. After getting into a situation she can't seem to get herself out of, she is forced to stay in the same house as someone she hates as much as he hates her. But as time drags on, the line between love and hate seems to blur. Forcing herself to focus on her main objective, she attempts to limit as much time with him as possible. But living in the same house, despite its rather large build, she's bound to run into him by chance. Evelyn will do anything to save her family, as they had done many occasions before-for her. Even if it means destroying her own happiness in the process. {MATURE LANGUAGE} TW -Violence -Rape/sexual assault -Kidnapping -Drugs -Gore/torture -Suicide thoughts/attemptComplete

Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town. As she digs deeper with the help of a skeptical journalist and a boy who doesn't exist in any official records, Evelyn uncovers a truth buried for a century: Graven Hollow was never built on solid ground-it was built over something alive. Every clue brings her closer to the heart of the nightmare... and the whispers are getting louder.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
