Between Shadows and Secrets
Graven Hollow is a town wrapped in silence-and blood.
When Nancy, a girl with sharp green eyes and a restless spirit, moves to Ashridge High, she's ready to disappear into the background. But Drew Whitlock-haunted, cold, and dangerously unreadable-won't let her.
Drawn together by a chilling partnership, Nancy soon discovers that beneath Drew's icy blue stare lies a darkness darker than the woods themselves-a darkness tied to a missing student and whispers of unspeakable things lurking just out of sight.
Every secret she uncovers pulls her deeper into a world where trust is a weapon and survival is uncertain. And as the line between fear and desire blurs, Nancy must decide: will she escape the shadows, or become one of their secrets?
In Graven Hollow, some truths are better left buried.

Through The Black Veil
When the sleepy coastal town of Graven Hollow is struck by a wave of unexplained disappearances, no one can explain the chilling whispers that fill the night air. They echo through the forest, rise from the abandoned mines, and crawl beneath the ash-covered ruins of old houses long forgotten. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Mire returns to her hometown after ten years-just in time for the centennial eclipse, an event that the locals say awakens "the Hollow's hunger." But something is wrong. The town feels frozen in time: clocks stop ticking at midnight, the air carries the smell of burnt earth, and shadows seem to move even when no one does. When Evelyn discovers her late mother's diary filled with strange warnings-"Don't look in the mirrors. Don't follow the voices. 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.
