At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

Resurgence by annelystic

WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST by DavidNdupu8

Elena Ward, a determined investigative journalist, rushes home when her younger sister Clara mysteriously disappears from their quiet hometown. The case seems straightforward at first-a missing person investigation-but Elena quickly realizes that nothing in this town is what it appears to be. The local police, led by Detective Marcus Hale, welcome her help but behave strangely guarded. Neighbors provide too-perfect alibis. Friends who seem trustworthy contradict themselves in small but telling ways. It feels like everyone is lying about something. As Elena digs deeper, she discovers patterns of previous vanishings, staged crime scenes, and evidence deliberately planted to mislead-like salt swapped with sugar, appearances crafted to look harmless until it's too late. Her trust begins to fracture: Marcus appears to help her, but his evasive behavior suggests hidden motives. Dr. Adrian Locke, a town psychologist, offers insight but conceals files that could break the case wide open. Even Clara's own friends aren't innocent; their secrets twist the timeline of her last known moments. The deeper Elena pushes, the more dangerous it becomes. People connected to Clara start dying in staged "accidents." Anonymous threats warn Elena to stop digging. She realizes she's entangled in the web of a puppet master known only as "The Benefactor." As paranoia escalates, Elena's reality blurs: Who is ally, who is enemy? Can she even trust her instincts anymore? In the explosive final act, Elena uncovers the truth-Clara's disappearance was no random abduction. She was bait, a move orchestrated to draw Elena herself into the trap. The Benefactor is revealed in a gut-wrenching twist as someone Elena trusted the most, someone who had played both sides of the investigation. Their motive? A chilling mix of personal revenge and psychological obsession with testing how far trust can be weaponized.

Under Oath | BWWM ✔️ by BlairsPen

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
