Some secrets should never be uncovered.
Detective Hale has a gift he can't explain-he can see the crimes already committed, as if he was standing in the killer's shoes. But when a young woman is found dead, the vision he witnesses is unlike anything before: the work of an "outsider"... someone with powers like his own.
Across town, seventeen-year-old Lores is just trying to survive high school-bullies, crushes, and the feeling that he doesn't quite belong. But strange dreams, hidden clues, and a darkness creeping into his world suggest he's more connected to the outsiders than he knows.
Two lives. Two worlds.
Bound by a secret war that's only just beginning.

Saltwater Shadows
Saltwater Shadows A Criminal Minds Psychological Horror Cliff's End is a town abandoned by time, clinging to the ragged edge of the world like a secret too old to speak aloud. When the BAU is called in after three teenage boys are found brutally murdered by the train tracks, they step into a town soaked in salt, sorrow, and secrets-where the ocean moans like it remembers too much, and everyone pretends not to see the rot under the paint. The Ridley family is at the center of the storm. A controlling father. A polished golden daughter. A pair of damaged siblings-Lee, sharp-tongued and burning like a live wire, and Luke, silent as a shadow. Their house is a mausoleum, their family photos frozen in time, and their grief hides something older than death. The deeper the team digs, the more unsettling the case becomes. The victims all went to school with Lee. The town speaks of them like they were destined for tragedy. And Lee? She's been building a fortress inside herself since childhood-lit by horror movies, guarded by barbed words, and haunted by the ghost of a twin brother who died saving her... or maybe marked her forever. What begins as a violent crime investigation spirals into something darker: a legacy of trauma, a town complicit in silence, and a killer whose motivations may be tangled in blood, memory, and obsession. Because in Cliff's End, some ghosts don't stay dead. And some protectors don't stay buried.Complete
