I can’t say much about this one. Except it’s not like your typical anthology. 24 authors are involved, and if you’ve been around the indie thriller community for longer than a second, you’ll recognize some of these names.

Bloodlines
Alyssa just wanted to fill in the blanks of her family tree. A DNA test was supposed to offer roots, not rot.
When the FBI shows up at her door, Lena learns her search has uncovered something far more disturbing: a connection to an unidentified serial killer. The deeper she digs, the more the past begins to unearth itself… gruesome crimes, whispered names, and a sister she never knew she had.
But someone is watching.
As Alyssa closes in on the truth, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. And some family secrets are buried for a reason.
A chilling slow-burn horror about blood ties, buried sins, and the danger of looking too closely.

One of Us Lied
A missing woman. A shattered town. A truth no one saw coming.
Claire Whittaker has a good life… a respectable job, close friends, and a charming boyfriend everyone adores. Marcus Jenkins is steady, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of man Claire always hoped she’d find. Together, they seem picture-perfect.
Until the night Claire disappears without a word.
As days stretch into weeks, speculation runs wild through the small town of Ashmoor. Did Claire finally snap under the pressure no one else could see? Did she leave to start over somewhere new? Or has something happened that no one’s ready to admit?
When evidence surfaces, the people closest to Claire must ask themselves difficult questions. How well did they really know her? And what secrets was she keeping behind closed doors?
One of Us Lied is a gripping, slow-burn psychological mystery about love, trust, and the stories we tell ourselves to keep the truth at bay.
