There were superstitions told as bedtime stories.
Myths in place of lessons.
And secrets kept for safety.
But no one ever warned Noah and Jonah about the truth.
Noah is a Watcher, trained from ten years old to protect the living by keeping an eye on the dead. As an Amplifier, she is highly valuable but just as bored. Until that fateful Halloween that brings her face to face with brothers' Theo and Killian; one with a soul lighter than air and the other a soul darker than night.
Jonah knows the brothers his sister has taken a liking to are not living. But to believe they are dead is also a lie. And to assume they aren't dangerous is stupid. Jonah is not stupid. And when strange occurrences plague the small town of Harlow Grove, he's determined to prove that quiet and brooding Theo and daring and manipulative Killian are behind it all.

Abel, a native of Wisconsin, was involved in a violent crash when he was nine, causing him to lose his arm and his sister when she was ejected from the car. In an attempt to wash the stains of death from their family name, Abel and his parents decide to move to Massachusetts, where they take up the oldest house on Buford St. But as the days drag by, Abel begins to know all too well why the two-story brick house was left abandoned for so many years. Now at the age of ten, he knows he cannot trust his father, who thus far hasn't believed him, his mother, who has been subject to frequent possessions, his counselor, who is too light hearted for a conversation about demons, or any of the public who would lock him up under the suspicion of being a nutcase. Which, as the situation has proved many times, leaves only Mia, who doubles as full-time bookworm and his closest and most brave friend. As he faces the death of his sister, bullying at school, and constant hauntings, Abel and Mia must find a way to best the spirit that so demandingly wants to drive them insane. Of course, there is only one way to do this: get it to give up its name. Only can the pair rest if the soul of his sister is abandoned by the demon who wants him dead most.Complete

The Dead Hour Chronicles
Book cover : Credit : Evelyn Amelia The world has always had twenty-five hours. We just weren't meant to see the last one. At midnight, when the living believe the day is over, another hour begins - a golden hour where the dead wake, walk, and live again. For sixty stolen minutes, graves stand empty, coffins open, and the frozen world becomes their stage. Sarah swears her husband - buried for almost a year - is chopping wood outside her window. Daniel's camera captures strangers no one else remembers. And in the morgue, Dr. Castillo hears her corpses whisper: Almost time. But the dead are not alone in their hidden hour. Wardens patrol the golden streets, enforcing rules older than death itself. Touch the living, and they vanish. Break the cycle, and the Wardens come. Now a circle of fanatics believes they've uncovered the secret of the twenty-fifth hour. They're desperate to step inside it. To them it's proof of the afterlife. To the dead, it's just life. To the Wardens... it's a breach that cannot be forgiven. When midnight strikes, the truth will be revealed. The dead are not haunting us. We are haunting them.

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

Stranger Hearts: Part II - Shadows Return
It's the week before Evelyn Byers' high school graduation, and for once, things seem normal. Her leg is nearly healed, the nightmares have gone quiet, and Steve Harrington is still hers - loyal, loving, and all-in. To celebrate surviving the chaos of Hawkins, Steve surprises Evelyn with a spontaneous mini-vacation to the Oregon Coast. It's foggy, peaceful, and nothing like Indiana. They walk along the beach barefoot, eat greasy diner food, and pretend-just for a little while-that monsters don't exist. But Evelyn can't shake the feeling. She wakes up with bruises she can't explain. Her reflection lingers too long in mirrors. The air feels charged, like before a storm-and sometimes, when she's alone, she hears it again. That low, inhuman growl echoing from somewhere inside her. Back in Hawkins, Will gets a "blip" on a device they swore they wouldn't need again. The Mind Flayer may not have been destroyed. It may have been waiting. And Evelyn might still be connected to it in ways none of them understand. As Evelyn faces the terrifying possibility that her mind-and body-are not her own, she must make a choice: come clean to the group and risk being locked away again, or try to stop it herself before graduation... before it's too late. Because if the Mind Flayer truly survived... it's not just coming back. It's coming for her.Complete
Mark of the Wolf (mxm)
Alone. Naked. Cold. Covered in blood that is just as likely to be mine as someone else's. I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I'm running from. All I get are flashes, snippets of dark shadows, sneering faces. Pain always follows these nightmares, these memories. I was found, taken in, but I have no way of knowing if I only escaped the frying pan just to jump into the fire. I don't understand these people, these wolves. They don't understand me, either. Our words mean nothing to each other, they're no more than sounds. We use gestures, facial expressions, body language like the beasts we seem to be. I can only pray these beasts are not the same ones I'm running from. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

The Pale March
They don't chase. They wait. And they already know your truth. After the world fell silent, after machines turned against the minds that made them, a new terror emerged: the Pale Ones. Human-shaped and ghost-quiet, they come not for the body-but for the secrets no one dares to speak. You don't see them at first. But you feel them. Like gravity. Like guilt. Ty Mercer has walked a long way from Fort McCoy, farther than most, and seen what happens when people stop. He's learned to keep moving, even when he can't make the full thirty miles. He's learned the rules-but not the reasons. When he crosses paths with a ragged group of survivors in the shell of an abandoned megachurch, he gives them a choice: walk south or wait to be unmade. Among them: a boy with a gift for sensing the wrongness others ignore, an artist who draws what shouldn't exist, a preacher clinging to fire and judgment, and a woman who's lost more than she'll ever admit. Together, they march-not just to escape the Pale Ones, but to outrun the truths that might doom them first. Because in this world, the ones who fall behind don't scream. They Whisper.Complete
