She doesn't read minds - she sees them.
Every lie. Every guilt. Every forbidden truth.
Chrysler Evangelista, a forensic psychologist in General Santos City, hides a secret no one can ever know - she sees into people's thoughts in flashes of imagery whenever emotions surge. To her, guilt has color, lies have texture, and betrayal burns bright enough to scar.
Her gift once destroyed her - she "saw" her boyfriend's betrayal long before it happened and could never explain how she knew. Since then, she's trusted no one, building walls so high even she struggles to see beyond them.
Then came Detective Bryan Larzon - calm, guarded, and the only person whose mind she can't see. For the first time, her ability falls silent... and her heart refuses to.
But when a string of murders strikes too close to home, Chrysler is forced to confront the one man who taught her everything about the human mind - Dr. Sebastian Rallos, the country's most respected forensic psychoanalyst.
A mentor, a friend... and the only person intelligent enough to manipulate her visions.
As Chrysler and Bryan dig deeper, the line between perception and truth begins to blur. Her mind becomes the battlefield - and the most dangerous criminal might be the one who understands her best.
In a world where truth can be seen but not trusted,
who do you believe - the person you love, or the mind that deceives you?

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉

Evidence of Us
"She profiles motives. He prosecutes them. Together, they walk the fine line between truth and destruction." ⸻ Four years ago, FBI agent Tessa Martin and ADA Rafael Barba worked one brutal case together - a case that ended in justice, headlines, and a deep, mutual dislike. He thought she was reckless. She thought he was arrogant. They were both right. Now, Tessa's back in Manhattan - newly returned from maternity leave, freshly reassigned as a Behavioral Science Unit liaison to SVU. The Bureau calls her "the golden girl" - brilliant with the media, sharp with profiles, and unshakably calm under pressure. What they don't see are the cracks she hides - the trauma, the sleepless nights, and the baby she's learning to raise on her own. When a high-profile assault case at Hudson University ignites a media firestorm, Tessa is brought in to manage public fallout and provide behavioral insight. What no one tells her? The ADA handling the prosecution is Rafael Barba. Their reunion is instant friction - her warmth against his precision, her empathy against his logic. But as the case unfolds, old grudges begin to blur into respect, and respect turns into something far more dangerous. In a world where justice demands control and truth demands vulnerability, the two find themselves fighting side by side - in the courtroom, in the chaos, and against feelings neither of them asked for. Tessa reads emotions for a living. Barba hides behind them for survival. And somewhere between the law and the lies, they'll both have to decide how much of themselves they're willing to risk for the truth - and for each other. Golden retriever × black cat dynamic
