Do You Remember? by endymionszzs

In the picturesque town of San Quellin, where the past lingers in the shadows, Hollis Trevor returns to her childhood home after twelve long years, only to confront the haunting memories she thought she'd left behind. Orphaned at sixteen and raised in a series of foster homes, Hollis grapples with her fragmented past and the painful truth of her parents' deaths. As she unpacks her belongings and navigates the weight of her family's legacy, she discovers that their once-vibrant presence in the community still resonates. However, the people around her harbor mixed emotions about her return-some welcome her, while others hold onto the wounds of the past. In a tale woven with secrets, lost connections, and the struggle for identity, Hollis must piece together the truth about her family's history and the mystery surrounding their work as investigative journalists. After being away for so long, she uncovers that there is something deeper-and more sinister-going on in San Quellin. An undercurrent of intrigue and danger threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew. Through it all, Hollis learns that healing is intertwined with the pain of remembering.

The Knight of Slaughtaverty by MaggieOHighley

In the sleepy town of Slaughtavery, all is not as it seems. In 1745, boys began to disappear, leaving no trace behind. The town was trapped in a hush of anxiety, gripped by fear too profound to express. After beautiful Madrigal Byrne ran away on her wedding day, the district was hurled into horror and madness until the lord of the Manor ended it with one vicious act of judgment and became known as the Knight of Slaughtaverty. Now, nearly 300 years later, antique appraiser Aubrey Dankworth answers an advertisement to catalogue the huge collection of antiques inside Slaughtaverty Manor, and shortly after her arrival, history seems to be repeating itself... TW:- I'm marking this novel as mature due to its violent nature, upsetting themes (abuse, murder, and others), blood, and gore. This book is not meant for squeamish or sensitive readers. Reader discretion is advised.

It may be a small town. But it has its many secrets. ----------------------------- "Sweetie, I just want to help you." "And how are you going to do that? Lock me up in an asylum where there are psychos who could hurt me? Put me to death? The possibilities are endless when it comes to getting rid of me, huh?" "I would do no such things." "Now who is the liar? And for the record, I have delicious snacks tugged away in my bag if I get hungry. I do not need your poisonous food. Also, do not call me your sweetie or sweetheart. Margie is your child now." "Margaret, you are sick. You need help." "The only help that I need..." She took a bow and arrow out of her bag, letting go of her bag in the process, and set the arrow on the bow. "...you all need help." Without any warnings, she grabbed ahold of me, forcing me to my feet, and held me close to her, pointing the sharp end of the arrow at my neck. "And the only way that you guys will receive help is if I kill my replacement." ----------------------------- If you like adventure, mystery, humor, or cliffhangers, then this is the book for you!

Into the Fog (Fisher's Bay 1) ✅ by EmilyCKalka

Nadia swore she would never be like her mother - running from a past that is as dense as the fog that rolls into the strange village of Fisher's Bay. And yet, here she is. In a town that she's never heard of, clearing out the house of a grandmother she never knew. Running from the biggest screw-up of her life that has left her without a career, her journalistic reputation in shambles. And yet, there's something in the town hidden on the coastline of the Pacific Northwest that draws her in, even though she is followed by stares and whispers, all revolving around her grandmother. Perhaps it's the sense of mystery that shrouds Fisher's Bay, or the secrets about her family that she hopes to uncover, like just why her mother left all those years ago, cutting both of them off from a seemingly loving family. Or maybe it's the handsome, yet standoffish mayor Remy Hutchinson who conjures up wants and dreams in Nadia that she had never considered. But when local fishermen start showing up dead, the town turns on her, thinking she's responsible. Nadia wants to believe she's innocent, but she isn't sure of who she is anymore, experiencing odd blackouts and dreams, often waking up in her bed covered in sand and dirt. She wants to run, but can't bring herself to do so. She wants to know all the secrets that Fisher's Bay holds. The question is: Is she ready for it? Book 1 in the Fisher's Bay Series Content Warning: There are mentions of substance abuse, child neglect, and mental health issues. Some violence (though not much in this one - mostly mentions of it). Oh, and some steamy scenes.
