In Dove Creek, Alabama, girls disappear like prayers left unanswered.
Caroline Ruth is the preacher's daughter, pure, obedient, and drowning beneath the weight of it. She's been taught to fear desire, to keep her skirt hem low and her mouth shut. But when a new boy arrives in town-and her best friend starts looking at her like she holds secrets-Caroline begins to question everything she's been told about God, love, and what it means to be saved.
There's blood beneath the altar, and Caroline's starting to feel the heat of hell even with her hands folded in prayer.
A Southern Gothic story about girlhood, repression, forbidden love, and the slow, holy burn of rebellion.
Not every girl gets a way out.
But Caroline is willing to burn for hers.

Putrid Flesh
TW: **!!suicidal ideations!!** + gore + non-denominational religious connotations that lean toward Catholic/Christian All Frank really wants it to be six feet below ground, peacefully decaying into the soil, instead of whatever investigative work she's doing with her unlisenced detective acquaintence Caroline. The sixteen-year-old insists there's some supernatural cult activity going on in their little town of Wroughtwood, and Frank is in no position to deny her; not when they both have strange powers, and not when Frank is unwilling to do any research for herself due to sheer disinterest. However, when Frank discovers that these strange powers may render her immortal, she has no choice but to go on a quest through the dreary and unwelcoming town of Wroughtwood to discover how to kill herself and the alleged cult members. Although the journey remains within the two square miles of Wroughtwood, Frank and Caroline's investigation reveals cannibals, prophecies, a slew of terribly flawed and scorned townsfolk, and, of course, the apocalypse. Hopefully Frank will get her happy ending, whatever it ends up being.
White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Complete
Song of a Siren
Caroline was shaped by grief, sharpened by betrayal, and sent back to the men who lit the match. Hunted through the waters her kind once ruled, she watched her brothers dragged from the sea and hung like a trophy by the very family that called themselves righteous. Now, years later, she walks into the lion's den-not as prey, but as the end of mercy. Zakaria, heir to the blood-stained legacy of sea-killers, never questioned the stories his family built their power on. Yet, when Caroline forces him to look at the truth-her truth-he is faced with a choice: protect the lies that shaped him, or destroy them alongside everything he's ever known. What begins as a brutal confrontation spirals into something far more dangerous: obsession, guilt, and a twisted echo of love neither can afford. Because some wounds were meant to bleed. And some love stories are written in blood.
