Stella would never have agreed to the foraging walk - if it wasn't for the fact that she had a huge secret crush on her nature enthusiast best friend Toby. As it starts out, she mentally prepares herself for the most boring three hours of her life. Then the pair gets separated from the main crowd, along with a small but comically diverse mix of fellow walkers. Stella quickly finds a like-minded companion in Carter, the charismatic young man who easily gains her attention - and Toby's silent wrath. With the daylight fading fast, they are forced to spend a restless night on the forest floor. The next morning, someone is found dead.
Will Stella be able to find her way out of the treacherous forest, uncover the killer, and navigate her confused feelings, all while keeping herself alive? Or will the hidden traitor strike her down too, in their quest to complete the perfect crime?

Secrets In The Shadows by cijjalxeffer

Stella found herself drawn to meet her best friend's former friend, Shawn, but an unsettling feeling lingered, as if secrets were lurking just beneath the surface. She sensed that both her best friend, Anne, and Shawn were hiding something essential. There's a saying: "What's buried should stay buried," and she couldn't shake the feeling that there were truths she was never meant to uncover-truths buried deep in the past. Would she dare to dig them up? And could she face the reality that awaited her, regardless of the consequences?

Beyond The Closed Case by AsmaIkram5

Megan Carter had believed her bestfriend, Maddie Sinclair's death was a closed chapter, a tragedy the town had long mourned and moved past. But returning to her childhood home for the summer, Megan stumbles upon a forgotten box in the attic - photographs, letters, and memories that refuse to remain buried. As she flips through the images of her and Maddie, the girl she knew so intimately, a gnawing doubt begins to take hold: Maddie could never have taken her own life. The official investigation called it suicide, but nothing about the story fits the Maddie Megan remembers. The smiles, the words, the grief on display - all feel rehearsed, hollow, and wrong. As Megan retraces the final days of her best friend's life, she begins to uncover secrets hidden beneath layers of lies and whispers of betrayal. The deeper Megan digs, the more dangerous the path becomes. Maddie didn't die by her own hand - someone ensured she never returned. And now, the questions Megan dares to ask threaten to unravel the lives around her, revealing a darkness that has been waiting patiently in the shadows. But how far would you go to uncover a truth that could destroy everything you thought you knew - and what would you do if the person responsible was closer than you ever imagined?
