Detective Michael Wulfe has solved every case that has come across his desk--with a little supernatural help. However, a recent string of unconnected murders leaves him stumped and the people of Keirwood Heights nervous. On top of everything, the police chief is getting dangerously close to Michael's own secret that could end both his career and his life if he doesn't close the case soon. 


ONC Prompt 87: A skilled detective has solved almost every case that has come across their desk. But one case seems to elude them, with no apparent connections between the murders. That is, until something changes everything.

Black Widow: Death is a Masquerade by Demon_Wolf_Detective

The blood is still drying and his bones are weary. Metropolitan Police Detective George Reynolds is in a race against time to solve a series of horrifying murders that have been linked to a sadistic cover-up at the Houses of Parliament. As George and his team uncover the truth, they soon realise that the killer is far more dangerous than they had anticipated and the sinisterly dark supernatural forces at play are beyond comprehension. With no time to spare, George must navigate a murky world of corruption, death threats, and learn the rules of the supernatural in order to bring the killer to justice. Beginning with an ominous VHS recording sent to police showing a body being drained in sixty minutes. The tape served as a warning to wake police up and prompted them to revisit a cold, covered-up investigation, instigated by powerful people in politics. 'Money makes the dirty world go round, crooked politicians keep it spinning to fill their pockets as blood paints the streets beneath their feet.'

Criminal Infatuation by BrixieStix

Detective Alexander Gray has a reputation for solving cold cases, so when he receives a strange letter from a city in California, Gray does not hesitate to leave for the city, hellbent on confronting a killer who's playing games through a letter. Once there, Detective Gray learns about a trail of clues that points to a large-scale serial criminal still on the loose, evading the police and enjoying infamy. The only known clue Gray has is their name, Isaiah. The deeper Gray investigates each killing link, the further away from the truth he seems to get, until the case takes an unexpected turn and Alex is forced to turn to a criminal informant for aid, exchanging favors for slivers that might help him crack this case before more killings take place.

Checkmate by emaguir3

The High Class of Europe. Or should I say the vampires? Everybody knows they exist, yet it is an unspoken rule to stay silent about them. You wouldn't want to risk one of them hearing you talk bad about them. The punishment for something as simple as that is unspeakable. The Vampires have built an empire from the dirt of London and have reigned for thousands of years. They continue to drag terror everywhere they step. Now in every high class, there's the low respected, middle of the pack, and the elites. Obviously, none are as interesting as the Elites of society. The cremé of the crop. Allow me to introduce you to Zara Delcour, Kaspian Auclair, Mackenzie Rousseau, and Nox Toussaint, the most powerful young adults of them all. And the great thing is? They're not going anywhere. But people are always looking for the next best thing or the next biggest deal. Alliances are formed. Threats are made. And it's all one big game of chess. + Due to harsh imagery, descriptive visuals, possible triggering moments, and certain mature themes in this novel, it is rated MATURE. There will be trigger warnings at the start of the chapters where mature scenes are held for those of you who would prefer to skip over them! (I cannot guarantee that you won't miss something crucial to the novel in those scenes.)

Crimson Snow by ScarredBloodDrops

Crys Snow has never fit in. Not in his small southern town of White Chapel, not at school, and sometimes, not even in his own skin. Maybe it's his albinism, his sharp tongue, or the violent thoughts that have haunted him since childhood. Living with his mom and two sisters isn't the worst part-it's the way people look at him, the way they push him, the way they make him want to push back harder. And when a guy at school assaults his kid sister, he finally snaps. Suspension isn't new, but this time, it feels different. The anger won't fade. The loneliness cuts deeper. He just wants to matter-to someone, anyone. He never expected that someone to be a serial killer. Someone who understands his darkness... because they share it. He knows he should run. He knows he should be afraid. Falling for him is a mistake. But maybe--just maybe--for the first time in his miserable life, this is what it feels like... to be wanted. But love shouldn't taste like blood. Should it?

The Shrinker by PSGusto1926

On her 16th birthday, abandoned outcast Jamie Cooper gets three surprise gifts. The first is the awakening of a long dormant power inside her; she is an incomplete size-shifter, with a near limitless talent for shrinking whatever she wants, but a total inability to grow a thing or restore anything shrunken. The second is an unexpected first meeting with a new transfer student on their first day of sixth form school, with whom she falls in love. The third are nightmarish visions of a sadistic, remorseless size-shifter with an obsession for cannibalism and a power far greater than hers. As the year goes on, the small town of Vorford is hit by a series of sudden disappearances, giving rise to fears of a serial killer within it. Faced with constant internal and outward struggles, Jamie must decide between her morals or her desires, pushing her into a final shattering choice everyone's lives depend on. ***** [Word Count: 110,000] **THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT FORMAT, AND IS 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT WORK, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

But it's this strangeness that he's been rejecting, that he's been trying to run from all these years. Unfortunately, whether he likes it or not, he must enlist the help of siblings who resent him to unveil the secrets behind the vendetta against his stepfather and fight the forces determined to tear his family apart.
