    👻 Newlywed Chloe expects sun, sand, and romance at the historic Grandview Hotel—not a spectral roommate. When the ghost of a 1920s flapper named Ruby appears in their honeymoon suite claiming she was murdered, Chloe's dream vacation turns into a supernatural investigation. Her practical husband thinks she's suffering from stress, but Chloe knows what she saw. Teaming up with the lively spirit, Chloe digs into the hotel's glamorous past and discovers Ruby's death was no accident. From hidden speakeasy tunnels to love letters tucked behind vintage wallpaper, every clue brings them closer to a killer whose family still owns the hotel. But as Chloe gets closer to the truth, Ruby's ghost grows weaker, and the current hotel manager seems determined to keep the past buried. With her marriage strained by her ghostly alliance and a modern-day murderer on the loose, Chloe must solve a century-old crime before the killer silences both her and the ghost forever.

    How can she prove her innocence when she can't remember her past? 
    Valerie’s back and Thorn put me in charge of training her, so . . . yeah, I guess I’m in the best position to suss out if she’s innocent or guilty. FYI, she’s guilty AF. 
    Hear me out, though: no one is this bad at training. Also, if she can’t remember anything, then why are sparks obviously flying between her and Jaemin? And third, whenever that creep Ajax crawls out of his hole in Nether, Valerie is suspiciously nearby. 
    I don't know. Maybe I just don’t like the questions she’s asking. Questions about where I was the night of the eclipse. I’m not the one accused of being a traitor, so let’s all just keep our eyes on the guilty party. 
    Cielle is Episode 2 of Brittni Chenelle’s Serialized Eleven Wings Series—definitive proof that little books can host colossal stories. This is only 1 out of 6 episodes, meant to be binged. It is not novel-length. Expect cliffhangers! 
    If you love reading about scorching second chance romances, sexy valkyries, sexier demons, and unexpected twists that keep you up long after The End, then one-click today and fall into this magical new series that's Fallen meets Born in Fire!
