A skeptical detective searching for the truth becomes her reluctant partner as they unravel impossible cases, hidden secrets, and a mystery that connects the dead to the living.
Some souls are searching for justice.
Others are searching for goodbye.
But the greatest mystery...
is who stole her life.

Love, Lies and Loid's Daughter
Love, Lies and Loid's Daughter: Between missions and math class, romance was never part of the plan. Twelve-year-old Anya Forger had two goals: become an Imperial Scholar and win the heart of her elegant nemesis, Damian Desmond. Easy, right? Except she's a telepath with zero impulse control, he's emotionally constipated with a superiority complex, and both of them are being watched by their highly suspicious families and the occasional spy. Fast forward to age 18, and the chaos has only evolved. Eden College is still the battleground, but now it's filled with forced fake dates, truth-or-dare disasters, dramatic confessions under the stars, and spy missions that go completely off-script. Anya reads minds like subtitles on a broken TV, Damian's trying not to combust every time she smiles, and neither of them knows how to say what they really feel-until it might be too late. Then comes heartbreak. A betrayal. A death. And four years of grief, denial, and failed matchmaking attempts by well-meaning best friends. By age 22, Anya is engaged to the wrong guy, and Damian is dead. Everything seems blank... until a mind she accidentally reads on a distant island changes everything. This is a story of rivals turned soulmates, lies that hurt, love that heals, and the messiest path to happily-ever-after imaginable. Love, Lies, and Loid's Daughter is a chaotic rollercoaster of romance, telepathy, and the absolute disaster of growing up when you're part of the world's weirdest almost-couple.Complete

Silence is Golden
(summary) After a tragic accident, Misaki Takahashi loses more than just his will to get into another car. With the difficulty of adjusting to life after the crash, Akihiko begins to notice a strange change in Misaki's behaviour. Little does he know, Misaki is struggling within himself as his world slowly slips into silence. --- Tragedy. It's not something anyone expects. It's not something that anyone hopes for, but whether we want it or not, whether you fight it or let it come, it will rip through your life like a broken mirror; reflecting all of your fears back at your teary eyes and projecting to you all that you hate about yourself. Like the thundering cries of a storm that made my parent's car wheels slip, or the silent drops of rain that that fell on the day that ours did the same, Tragedy slips through the weave of time with scissors; waiting for the moment when it can cut your binding threads. Just like it did mine... And engulfed my world in silence. --- Disclaimer: I do NOT own any characters that you recognize from Junjou Romantica. All of them belong to Shungiku Nakamura (Aka: My saviour)Complete
