What Happened to Erin?

What Happened to Erin?

Mbali Mgoqi

Six childhood friends enter the woods, but only five come out. The disappearance of Erin Lockwood is shrouded in mystery and casts a dark pall over the once-safe small town of Braidwood. The only ones who know the truth are shackled to oaths. They cannot break the two laws. For seven years, the horror of what they saw and what they caused wrenched them apart. They tried to live normal lives, tried to forget. But the sins of their past have caught up to them. The group is forced to reunite after one of them vanishes without a trace in the same place that Erin was lost: in the woods. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a summons.

Laura Venus

Jane steps into Rosecliff Manor as a simple housekeeper, but the halls echo with whispers she can’t ignore. The Master’s son is charming, the manor is beautiful, yet shadows slip into her nights and visitors arrive with questions that cut too close. Their knowing eyes hint at secrets about her—secrets tied to a scheme far bigger than she imagined. Every corner hides a hush, every glance suggests a game she hasn’t been told the rules of. As Jane is pulled deeper into the mystery, the warmth she feels in one man’s presence collides with the chill of Rosecliff’s conspiracy. What truth waits in the dark, and what ominous endgame is she destined to uncover?

But a sudden attack pulls her into a dangerous game, and her new assignment is the very man she just let into her world. Torn between trust and suspicion, she can’t shake the feeling that everyone has their eyes on her—including the one person she hoped she could rely on. With danger closing in, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the man who might be her greatest risk—or her only safe harbor.
