London, 1902.
A girl is found drowned beneath Briar Bridge - her body dressed in white, her name unknown. The papers call her the river bride. The case goes nowhere. And then it gets worse.

Detective Daniel Moore is suspended for a mistake he swears he didn't make. His younger sister, Cathleen, refuses to let it go. Armed with a perfect memory and a habit of asking the wrong questions, she sneaks into the precinct to uncover the truth - and runs straight into Knox Weller, her brother's best friend and a detective who would rather face a firing squad than work with her.

He thinks she's reckless. She thinks he's arrogant. Neither of them plans to investigate the case together - but the more they uncover, the more dangerous it becomes to work alone.

Poison. Lies. Missing girls. A bridge that keeps pulling bodies back from the dark.

Cathleen Holloway was never meant to solve this case.
But she's the only one who can.All Rights Reserved

Secrets Between Shadows by skyler678_

She wakes in a strange place with no name, no past, and too many strangers pretending to care. They say she's part of the pack. They say she's safe now. But the forest says something else entirely. As strange visions blur with waking life, and her shadow starts to move on its own, Isolde begins to wonder what's real- and what was buried for a reason. Some memories are dangerous. Some lies keep monsters asleep.

جيتيني وأنا تايه وسط موج الحنين by na_jm96

ليست كل الحكايات تبدأ بابتسامة .. بعضها يولد من صمتٍ طويل من نظرة لم تُفهم أو من قرار صغير كان كافيًا ليقلب كل شي هنا لا تبحث عن أبطال خارقين ولا عن نهايات مثالية هنا ستجد القلوب كما هي ضعيفة عنيدة محطّمة لكنها تقاوم هذه الرواية ليست مجرد قصة بل مرآة وقد ترى نفسك بين السطور دون أن تنتبه مرحبًا بك في عالمٍ لا يشبه أحدًا لكنّه قد يشبهك

Reverie by tokyosmain

They were her sentinels, her saviors, the reason that she refuses to let her past consume her. 𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who's never known stability. Raised by a reckless, unstable mother, she spent her childhood caught between drug runs and police raids, ruining her right for a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

Truth Or Dare {Completed} by Karishma357

This story is based on a group of teenage friends that went into an haunted house and decided to play a game. Then when they've started the game, no matter what, out of the 8 of them only 1 person survive. Read and find out more on the type of dares or truth they are asked to do or say (which is very much dangerous). If they lie or don't do the dare, their souls will be taken to hell, and bad things will happen. PS. This story has some similarities between movie and novels. I hope you all wouldn't mind. I forgot to mentioned earlier. Sorry for my mistake. But I hope you all do continue to read and support thank you. Forgot to mention this story was written when I were 13 years old so please bare with me :) Follow me: Wattpad: @karishma357

تحتُّ الركام أصواتٌ انقطع أنينها ودقاتٌ توقف نبضها فرحةً لم تكتمل وأحلامٌ أجهضت قبل المخاض تحتُ الركام قصصٌ لم تكتب لها النهاية وحكاياتٌ رحل من كان يرويها ألعابٌ لطخت بدماء الأطفال تحتُ الركام أسماءٌ تساقطت من السجلّ المدني مثل تساقط الأوراق من الأشجار فأصبحت في سماء النسيان تحتٌ الركام وجوهٌ تغيرت ملامحها فأنكرها الزمان والمكان فشيعت أجسادهم لمقابرٍ في الجنان تحت الركام ارتجف الأطفال خوفًا فغادروا الحياة ولم يجدوا الأمان وصايا خُطت بحبرٍ من الخذلان وأمنياتٌ غادرت عالم الخيال تحت الركام حيث يشهد الظلم والقهر

Aradhya- The Warrior by yukiwrites02

📌 Disclaimer / Intro Note for Readers: When I first started this story, I was accused of copying from a book named Siara. At that time, I honestly didn't know about it, but now I do. This version is a completely rewritten plot, with fresh twists, new character arcs, and my own vision. Nothing here is taken from anywhere else-this is purely my creation. °•°•° Aradhya Rajvansh's life shattered the day her own family turned their backs on her, believing lies that landed her in prison. After four years, she walks free-not as the girl she once was, but as a woman forged in pain and silence. With only her younger brother Ansh by her side, she rebuilds her life far away from home, shutting her heart to the world. But destiny has other plans. Her path collides with Rishav Raghuvanshi-a man of quiet strength, protective warmth, and ruthless determination. Thrust into his family through marriage, Aradhya finds herself torn between old wounds and the possibility of a new beginning. While Rishav's unwavering presence starts breaking down her walls, shadows of betrayal and enemies from the past threaten to return. This is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and the slow, tender healing of a warrior's heart.

Ghost [Trinetra Trilogy- Book 1] by SwatiSandeep

Agney Garewal is a man with nothing left to lose, and everything to avenge. His sister's death shattered the only bond he had, and now the agent-turned-avenger has one mission: destroy Nirbhay Rathod,a ruthless mafia lord whose empire is built on blood and silence. Ruthless, calculating, and fueled by grief, Agney will stop at nothing to bring Nirbhay to his knees. He knows the one crack in the enemy's armor: Medhansh Rathod, the teenage brother who holds Nirbhay's heart. But Agney isn't prepared for the storm that is Medhansh Rathod. Funny, kind, and disarmingly sincere, the boy is everything his Ira once was. As Agney's plan unfolds, he finds himself caught in a battle not just of justice, but of memory, mercy, and the haunting echo of what he's lost. He came to destroy a man. He didn't expect to meet a ghost in the form of a boy.
