A year ago, Skylar McCauleys life took a turn for the worst, leaving her in need a of change. For a while, California seemed to be that change.
Skylars old life and the need for closure, brings her home and reunites her with her friends and family. Unfortunately, the one person that matters most to her isn't overly thrilled to see her. Her best friend from the beginning, Asher Reynolds.
Asher has denied Skylars existence for the past year. He's still holding on to the hurt and anger her departure left him with and isn't anywhere near ready to forgive her yet or so he thinks. The problem is, Skylars return brings back feelings he thought had long since disappeared, and makes him question the decision he made before she left.
Can the two make amends or will almost two decades of friendship be washed down the drain?
And if they do, could it end up being something more?
However, it soon becomes apparent that their friendship isn't the only thing that could be in danger. There is someone out there who is still blaming Skylar for what happened, as much as she blames herself. Someone is intent on scaring her and doing her as much harm as possible, even if it means killing her.
With her life, and the lives of those she cares about in danger, Skylar finds things spiralling out of control once more. After several strange and frightening experiences, Skylar realises that not everything is as it seems. They run much deeper and further then the events of the year before and secrets soon come to the fore. Ones that could change her life even more. That's if she manages to survive!

Now haunted by memories that bleed into hallucinations, and guided by the ghost of the girl he's in love with and can't seem to let go of, Asher dives into a chilling puzzle of secrets, betrayal, and unfinished goodbyes. The deeper he searches, the more twisted the truth becomes-and the more he realises Isla's death wasn't the end of their story. Because someone wanted Isla gone. And they're still out there-closer than he thinks, watching every move... and waiting to strike again.

And some answers are more dangerous than the questions themselves. A detective who asks too much. A friend who may know more than they admit. And a truth that could destroy everything. The real question is: how far would you go for what you want most? ⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄ ✎ this is a slow-burn, psychological mystery-thriller, a work of fiction ✎ please note that this story touches lightly on themes of same-gender affection and emotional connection. ✎ technically not proofread thanks for reading! unravel © 2025 TheShinks © all rights reservedKumpleto

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
