They say silence is peace - but is that peace is hiding something?
Years after all that chaos, Sierra Monroe finds herself drawn into the "static" once more. What begins as a personal investigation into a string of forgotten crimes leads her back to that name, that God forsaken murderer..Elijah Marrs - the name that once haunted emergency channels and unmarked tapes across the country. Vanished without a trace. Presumed dead. But the sounds never stopped.
As Sierra retraces his steps, peeling back the twisted layers of a boy who became a ghost, she's forced to confront her own past, her obsession, and the truth of what justice really means in a world built on silence. Along the way, she uncovers a breadcrumb trail of journal entries, abandoned homes, and red-scarfed warnings that blur the line between empathy and horror. And maybe even the truth behind that name.
He said he didn't deserve a second chance.
She's not so sure.
Everyone deserves another chance, don't they?

Silent Ashes
Some disappear without a trace. Others leave only ash. Clarissa Madison leads a double life-by day, she's the quiet embalmer at a crumbling city funeral home, tending to the dead with clinical precision. By night, she hunts the forgotten, the nameless, the lost. In a place without cameras, without questions, and without witnesses, she's found the perfect cover-and the perfect crematory. Her kills are meticulous. Her rituals, sacred. Her secrets, buried beneath urns of innocent ash. But when the remains of a missing man refuse to burn clean, and the police start circling her workplace, the cracks in Clarissa's careful world begin to spread. Shadows grow longer. Mistakes whisper louder. And something inside her begins to slip. As the lines between duty and desire blur, Clarissa must decide if her next victim will be her last-or if she'll vanish into the flames she's mastered for so long. Dark, haunting, and razor-sharp, Silent Ashes is a psychological thriller that dares you to look death in the eye-and question what lives just beneath the surface.Complete

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. πππππππ/πππππππ ππππππ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reservedComplete

When the time comes to choose between the life she's built and the freedom she longs for, Callie walks away from everything. But in a world like this, some doors don't stay shut. And some ghosts don't stay buried. Because once you leave the Vultures... there's no way back. But the world doesn't let you go that easily. *All Rights ReservedComplete
Part Of Him
She was supposed to remember the best day of her life. She just can't remember if it ever happened. Ava used to believe in ordinary magic. Messy mornings with Maya knocking over mugs and yelling about coffee filters. Studio nights where Aiden argued about fonts like the world depended on it. Quiet days filled with pencil smudges, gold light, and music she never let anyone else hear. She had rules, routines, a voice that filled the room when she wanted it to-and a life that, while chaotic, was hers. Then came the stillness. They say she's healing. That memory can be slippery after grief. But the pieces don't align. Why does she flinch when he touches her? Why do her old journals sound like they were written by a stranger? Why does Aiden-distant, bitter, and quiet-look at her like she betrayed him? And why does Maya, the one person who always told her the truth, suddenly fall silent when Ava starts asking questions? Her past is blurred. Her future feels chosen for her. And in the mirror, she sees a girl shaped by someone else's hands. But somewhere, buried under fog and half-truths, a part of her remembers what it felt like to belong to no one. Not loved. Not kept. Not rewritten. Just... hers.
