Foggy ferris wheel with purple accents FIVE CAN KEEP A SECRET... IF ALL OF THEM ARE DEAD MYSTIC MOUNTAIN ADULT SPECULATIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROMANCE Foggy ferris wheel with purple accents Pitch Seven years after her twin brother’s disappearance and cutting ties with her college friends she ran an abandoned places exploration YouTube channel with, Whitney is offered the payday of a lifetime to produce a documentary on the very place she lost her twin forever: the deserted theme park Mystic Mountain. The last people she expects to see are the friends from the life she left behind, including the optimistic and attractive Ale. Emotions run high when the new owner of the park locks them inside overnight, and the past isn’t the only thing the gang is running from. foggy ferris wheel with purple accents comps: hide by kiersten white - amusement park setting smile for the cameras by miranda smith - famous individuals reuniting the reunion by bronwyn rivers - confronting truths from the past i know what you did last summer - friends hiding secrets of the past scooby-doo (2002) - reunited friends exploring mysteries the haunting of hill house - guilt and grief haunting Foggy ferris wheel with purple accents The opening: Whitney always said it would be the last time she took a photography gig at some no-name bar, but she never fucking learned. The musty scent of dried scotch and bourbon fries burned the hairs of Whitney’s nostrils. She’d probably reek of greasy bar food for over a week. A drunken patron further down the bar slurred obscenities at the bouncer—a lanky fresh-out-of-high-school kid—and the old school rap music played all night still rang in Whitney’s ears. Gaspar’s was no different than any other nightclub she’d been paid to take photos at, and no matter whose life the balding manager swore upon, no one would pay Whitney for her time but the establishment itself. People didn’t come to places like this to capture their lives in a still frame. No, they came to forget, to bury themselves in the sorrows they deserved to drown in. Whitney knew that feeling all too well.

Clinging to the Stones Adult fantasy heist by Hussain A. Ayoub 109K Words Multi-POV The river of fate drags everyone forward. Only the desperate dare to cling to the stones. The heist: Acyrnar Acyrnar has fragile bones, a dying father, and only half the will to hunt his rogue master. But here he is anyway, because living hurts. When he learns his master’s mission might hold the only cure for the rot killing his father, Acyrnar turns coat and joins him. Simple enough. Except he must first kidnap the Empress of the Crimson Empire, brand himself an outlaw forever, and make enemies of some of the most powerful and vindictive people alive. The Counter-heist: Melam Across the sea, Empress Melam fights to protect her son from a succession ritual that will slaughter all but one heir to the throne. Scarred by personal loss and a world rigged against her, Melam does what any desperate mother would do—she turns to the criminal underworld to break her son out of the impregnable Cage. She doesn't need a savior; she needs a distraction. Their colliding paths are set to ignite a war, unravel loyalties, and decide the fate of nations. Comparative titles: The Age of Madness series. The Lies of Locke Lamora. Andor. Grave Empire. “You are marked by the stars.” Mother used to repeat that grim prophecy, her voice a warm feather tickling his cheek, her words an icy blade piercing his soul. “Like the Surabrenna, three daughters bind you: one will pass without you, one will weep for you, one will burn with you.” Clinging to the Stones A fantasy inspired by Syrian history & mythology.
