Allure has it all figured out - at least on the surface. With summer stretching wide before college begins, she's working, dancing through her days, and dodging boys like a sport. When her best friend convinces her to attend a party thrown by the charming-but-slick Tion, Allure steps into a night full of music, liquor, and laughter.
But something's off. A little too good. A little too smooth.
And the woman watching from the corner? She's not just there for decoration.
As the haze of fun begins to crack, Allure starts noticing what others don't - that she may have crossed a threshold she can't come back from. And the more she searches for her missing shoes, her missing memories, her missing self... the more she begins to wonder:
Was this party a setup? Or has she been gone far longer than she realized?
A haunting, slow-burn debut blending coming-of-age, Black girlhood, and the eerie edges of memory - The House on M Street is about what we carry, what we ignore, and what finds us when we stop pretending we're safe

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
