Whispers Dark - The Forest Keeps What the Night Forgets

J. K. Maddox

Sinossi

When her partner vanishes without a trace, Mara ventures deep into the wilderness that has already claimed too many before him. The villagers warn her the forest remembers what you forget, but she refuses to turn back—because if Liam is still alive, she has to find him.

The deeper Mara pushes into the overgrown trails, the more the woods close in. Strange spirals carved into the trees seem to point her forward. A voice calls her name from beneath the moss. And when she finds Liam’s belongings scattered among the ruins of an abandoned firewatch tower, Mara realizes she’s not just chasing a man—she’s following a memory unraveling in real time.

But the forest plays tricks. Dreams slip into waking hours. Fragments of the past refuse to line up. What she discovers doesn’t just blur the boundary between truth and illusion—it rewrites who she believes she is.

Every step takes her closer to the secret the woods have kept for decades. Every breath feels like one the forest has already taken.

She thought she was searching for the man she lost. But what if the thing that’s missing has always been her?

In Whispers, Dark, memory is unreliable, love is laced with betrayal, and the only way out may be to surrender to what you can’t remember.

Will Mara uncover the truth, or will she become just another whisper the forest keeps?

In REVERB!, twelve standalone supernatural thrillers unravel the dark space between the spoken and the unspeakable. Each story drops you into a different haunted setting—abandoned houses, cursed forests, forgotten towns—where a single whisper sparks a chilling unraveling of truth, memory, and fate.

From grieving parents and haunted investigators to broken lovers and trapped strangers, every protagonist faces a unique descent into the unknown. These aren’t just ghost stories. They’re psychological collisions, where what’s buried doesn’t stay buried, and what speaks in the dark may not want to be understood—only obeyed.

With atmospheric suspense, slow-burning dread, and unforgettable twists, this series pulls you to the edge and dares you to listen. Because once the whisper starts, it never stops.

Everything We Never Knew

Ellen Goodlett, Julianne Hough

WHEN THE STARS ALIGN, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

On stage at an awards banquet is the last place Lexi Cole expected to drown. But as she accepts the award for top seller at her realty firm, something unusual catches Lexi’s eye: a man surrounded by a dark haze. Then she hears a woman screaming for help, and the taste of salt water overwhelms her. Just as Lexi’s throat begins to close, the man leaves the room and the sensation of drowning abruptly stops. Later that night, the man dies of an overdose, and Lexi learns about the traumatic boating accident that killed his sons and tore his family apart.

Lexi wants to believe it’s a bizarre coincidence. Any other explanation would disrupt the normal, comfortable life she’s worked so hard to build. Lexi is an expert at denial, a pro at fitting in. But as more strange events unfold, Lexi can’t deny the truth: something is changing inside her. She feels other people’s emotions, sometimes even glimpses their private memories.

By embracing her new abilities, Lexi can help heal people—though not until she confronts the past she’s spent a lifetime burying. But when a vision reveals her husband is in danger, Lexi must decide: face her inner demons or lose the person she loves most.

Atmospheric and emotional, Everything We Never Knew is the gripping story of one woman embracing her power, no matter what the world thinks.

“At one point in our lives we are all challenged to leave behind the person we are expected to be and become who we truly are.

To Haunt and to Hold

Leanna Renee Hieber

Demons are amassing in New York City…
As the dawn of the twentieth century approaches, the spectral battle for the city’s souls is heating up. Maggie Hathorn, a ghostly socialite, and her living beau, Reverend Roberto Coronado, have spent their entire courtship so far solving murders and banishing evil spirits. All Maggie wants is a chance to bask in her newfound romance, attending dinner parties and stealing moments alone with her beloved exorcist.
But when New York City’s Ghost Precinct receives a call of distress from the spirit world, Maggie realizes that their battles aren’t over yet. Indeed, there are evil forces at work that are larger than she could have imagined. Maggie and Coronado discover that the perpetrators of their previous cases were both part of the American-Born Guild, an organization dedicated to fanning the flames of nativism and emboldening hateful hearts toward violence.
Even more dangerous, members of this guild have been carelessly playing with Spiritualism, opening spectral doors and unknowingly welcoming in demonic entities. This influx of demons is endangering the spectral refuge known as Sanctuary, where Maggie has more than once found a safe haven in times of trouble. Now it is Maggie’s turn to save Sanctuary. To do this, Maggie will need to call on allies new and old to help take down the guild and dispel the amassing demons. And Maggie herself will need to step into her role as a bridge between the living and the dead.
If Sanctuary can be saved, it may just be the key to fulfilling Maggie’s dreams and facilitating the love between a ghost and an exorcist.
