Every October, the small town of Willowbrook hosts a fall fair that's been a tradition for over a century. This year, however, there are rumors that it will be the last one-the land where it's held is being sold. A group of friends decides to make the most of it, spending the weekend soaking in the fair's charm: hayrides, caramel apples, pumpkin carving contests, and the haunted corn maze.
But when they stumble upon an old journal hidden inside one of the barns, they discover clues about a secret connected to the town's founding-something the fair was originally meant to protect. As the leaves keep falling and the fair counts down to its closing night, the friends must solve the mystery before the fair (and the secret it guards) disappears forever.

Beware [COMPLETED]
The ghost of John Marshall has always been reported to lurk around his old mansion. The three storey mansion that is surrounded by miles and miles of trees, and no life in between. It is said that no man who has had the intentions of trespassing on his property, has ever returned. However, rumours are just rumours, right? Autumn O'Neil has, yet again, persuaded her friends to go on an expedition with her. Where her courage and bravely used to shock them before, now it's a norm for them. The unsuspecting group of friends pack their bags and leave for the haunted mansion in the midst of the forest for two weeks. The friends don't even get to settle there, when things start happening. Disturbing and peculiar things. Things that make them all want to leave, but can it really be simple when one by one, all of them start disappearing? All except Autumn. Trapped in the labyrinth of hidden diaries, torn up wills, restless spirits, anomalous mazes and old relatives, Autumn is expected to solve the mystery of John Marshall. __________________________________________________________________________________ "A brilliant story.

Collapse: Book Two (bxb) ✔️
Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.Complete

Each year as the leaves begin to fall and the harvest moon rises, the town braces itself for the return of a centuries-old curse.
