Young Adult Mystery / ThrillerOur School Has One Secret Rule
At Wrenhollow, there is one rule every student learns quickly: when the bell rings thirteen times, stay inside and pretend you heard nothing. Maren Cole did not come to the isolated boarding school to obey. Two years earlier, her sister Josie left Wrenhollow terrified, silent, and unable to explain what happened the night she nearly drowned. Now Maren has earned a place at the same school, determined to uncover the truth. But Wrenhollow protects its secrets carefully. Black feathers appear as warnings. Students disappear after midnight. A hidden society called the Wrens controls reputations, scholarships, families, and futures through a mysterious Book of Names. And Rhys Harrow, the powerful boy who keeps appearing whenever the tide turns dangerous, seems to know far more about Josie's past than he will admit. The deeper Maren investigates, the harder it becomes to tell who is protecting her and who is preparing her for the same fate as her sister. Because at Wrenhollow, secrets are not simply kept. They are enforced. And when Maren finally learns why Rhys was standing on the sandbar the night Josie almost died, the truth will change everything she thought she knew about him, the school, and the rule nobody has dared to break.

Mystery / CrimeThe Case My Father Never Solved
Thirty-one years ago, five people vanished from the quiet town of Ashenmoor—including nine-year-old Ivy Merrit. Her father, Detective Chief Inspector Gethin Merrit, spent the rest of his life trying to solve the case. He died with nineteen boxes of evidence still stacked in his garage and a reputation built on never giving up. Now his surviving daughter, cold-case detective Calla Merrit, has only eleven months before the fen where the victims may be buried disappears beneath a new reservoir. She expects to finish the investigation that destroyed her family. Instead, she discovers something no one was ever supposed to notice. There are two versions of the case file. Statements are missing. Search maps have been altered. Evidence points in directions it never should have. And buried among her father’s papers is proof that he may have known exactly who the killer was decades ago. The deeper Calla digs, the more terrifying the question becomes—not who took the victims, but why her father spent thirty-one years making sure the case could never be solved. Because only four people were taken. And the truth about the fifth victim begins inside Calla’s own family. To give four families the answers they have waited decades for, Calla may have to destroy her father’s legacy, expose the people she loves, and sacrifice the career she built trying to become everything she believed he was.
